Preview My Contest Entry?
After three months of medical issues I'm finally getting motivated to start doing videos again. Howcast is sponsoring a contest for creative "how-to" videos of under three minutes(!), so to get my creative juices flowing again I've made a video about how to get a better shave. Take a look at it here. Comments or suggestions before I submit it? Please note that I've lowered the resolution to 320x240 for bandwidth considerations. The contest submission will be at 640x480. Many thanks!

Bump. I've updated the video with many of the suggestions given to me. I think I may have even added a bit with brush lathering that I'm reasonably happy with. Now the only major decision I need to make is to keep the title as-is, or re-title it "9 Tips For A Better Wet Shave" with little numbers on the screen as each tip is discussed. Comments?

Mark, I think your most important point not appreciated by the general public is that too many blades increases the likelihood of razorburn. Yet when you say the word "razorburn", the music starts too loudly and covers up your voice.
I like the idea of changing the title and adding the 9 numbers. It will make the entire video seem more informative.

Sure enough, I didn't catch that. Luckily its an easy fix.GA Russell wrote:Mark, I think your most important point not appreciated by the general public is that too many blades increases the likelihood of razorburn.

I'd go with "The Nine Habits of Highly Effective Wet Shavers". Extra kudos if you can amalgamate 2 habits into 2 others and make it seven...mantic wrote:Bump.
