Youtube Gun Mistakes

[Lectric102002]

I've been working on trying to put my psychological research into the anti-gun mindset into video and this is the issue I'm faced with. In person, during a class, etc. I'm not a monotone speaker, but that's because you're interacting with live people. When trying to put content in video and nobody is around and trying to reference a great deal of notes, it's difficult to not sound sort of monotone compared to normal speech.

That's one reason I have a great deal of respect for TV news people who have to not only read from a teleprompter, but also put the necessary inflection into their voice so as not to come off as monotone. I travel a lot and it seems that the bigger the market you are in, the better the local news talent pulls this off.

Yeah.

That and psychology can be sort of dry anyhow....even if it is applied to guns. I've noticed myself going back to cut sections out where I repeated myself a bit, but it's still difficult to not sound somewhat monotone on camera. I wish I had the benefit of a teleprompter for this particular subject. At least then I wouldn't be looking away from the camera so much and I know I'm not missing any important points.

I know right... That dude does not need a gun of any sorts.

Yup. That is one twitchy acting dude. At least it was a twenty gauge. (yellow shell) Divided attention is always a harbinger of surprises.

Unless you have at least 10 years experience shooting, know how to use a camera, have an I.Q. above 105, and look like you bathe at least five times a week, don't make any gun videos. That should eliminate at least 60% of all gun videos.

I tend to watch Hickok45...unless they meet the 'standards' set forth by dhw9am...and that's about it!

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to make a video on my favorite subject. Footage of shooting always is a plus. I would love to see shops use YouTube too. Gun shop tours are my favorite but they are almost always too far to visit. INGO needs to keep doing them too. Maybe members here should get permission to do a visit to their local LGS and get some footage. We definitely should push this type of presentation when it comes to Shop of the Year.

Iraqvetereran8888 puts a tons of time putting out videos. He does about 2 a week.

Good catch on the 20 Ga detective I didn't even notice it. I was already in the "Wait for it, wait for it" mode

He will need some drywall repair, though.

Yea and a ice pack for his eye to when his Mom finds out that he shot the basement ceiling. He should have stayed in his beanbag chair eating Cheetos and playing X-box

The YouTube gun videos I don't like have unsafe acts and/or setting up a noob to fail.

Dont point your loaded gun at your buddy the camera man, "accidentally" touch the trigger and blow a hole through your tv. Yes, actually seen that one. Even if the tv shot was planned, the idiot pointed his loaded PT1911 at the camera.

I don't think his homeowners policy is going to cover negligent discharge.

You know that's as fake as a winter day is long, right?
Firstly, mentioning a decocker... whuuut?
Oh, and let's be sure to get the TV in the frame to "set it up". *eyeroll*
Then freeze frames show absolutely no muzzle flip...whatsoever.
Culminating in a shot of the TV (well after the blast... not a mark on it). Then add in some repeating movie smoke.
Nice.

Yeah...
A year or so ago, one of MiniJet's friends did a minute long video of a BBQ at our house and added an Indiana Jones boulder that smashed our house and a meteor that left a crater in the yard...next to the grill (which was still fine).
I should have put that on YouTube for all the suckers, too...

 

[MiNDRiVE]

Yup adobe after effects can do some pretty cool stuff.

As Forest Gump would say "Stupid is as Stupid does"

Because in the trench wars there was a lot of dirt and DRYWALL dust flying everywhere. What a malaka

GUN ACCIDENT- RUGER LC9 - YouTube Is this one real, I ducked down at least three times while watching it.

 

[addictedhealer]

For sure not real. Slide doesn't move and he squints in anticipation before he shot.

Refer to Gluemanz28 post. That's why I'm not putting anything on youtube.
