Graphs on Videos

[SteepGnomeKing]

I might be the only one that seems to be annoyed by this but here's my opinion

 

Why does LMG continue to post graphs in the middle of the video over top of someones face while talking. http://youtu.be/hZQANNndqOA?t=7m2s seems to be the latest example.

I don't do video production so someone tell me if it take that much more work (no sarcasm, I'm actually curious), but it is incredible annoying. If you are going to cover them up just don't include them in the video at that point and just have them talking over either a A) a full screen graph or B.) a graph with a black background.

 

Also the Crysis 3 graph (last one of the graphs) the 280x is a green line and not red like all the others, but that's minor.

Completely agree. I think they should have a picture in picture mode. When the wanna show a graph, they should put slick/linus off to one side.

It's all about the graphs, no one cares about Slicks face. jk I care about Slicks face....

It's so pretty, lol

 

And on a side note, yes I do like the format of the video. Linus giving the unboxing and overview and slick doing the benchmarks and the charts and information. But the chart over your face slick takes away from the professionalism and realism of the video. But for GPU/CPU or W/E I like the 2 part video of the looks and performance of the card works nicely.

It looks more "professional" in my opinion instead of just jump-cutting to a fullscreen graph. The graph is slightly transparent. It's probably just Edzel and Brandon trying out new formats in the videos.

Except it's been going on for 5+ months. I understood it when it was new and like you said trying something new but it's far from now.

yeah it's pretty annoying....they shouldn't cover his face at all or his whole face...and what's up with their love to the gtx 650ti? why can't the compare the cards with a gtx 660?

True. That was just my assumption.

There isn't much they can do in a shot like that because the graph needs to be big enough to read on even 360p for the slower internet users. And they might not have a 660 to benchmark.

I'm more aggravated when they go for a close up of a certain area of the product to then quick

switch to an overview of the product laying on a table. Happened in the 280x video, the camera 

zooms in to show the fans and fins of the heat sink only to pan away to an angled view from above

not showing AT ALL what he is talking about.

 

What a tease. 

 

*EDIT* Also they could go half screen them and half screen benchmarks, i don't see why they couldn't

use all that real estate 16:9 has to offer, my screen is 24" so there's plenty of room and i'm assuming

most people have 16:9 and at least a 21" screen by now but who knows.
