otherwise, getting better.

No iTunes crap pls.

Thanks!!

so obvious its being read or memorized its not even funny.. i love torrentfreak but i cant even finish any of these episodes… its just painful and i dont understand how anyone could be informed by this.

Cheers!

(It’s hard to relax in front of the camera, I know. You cannot even picture the audience naked…)

Some more advanced technical stuff you can address now but the major issues in episode one are all fixed (good job).

First of, the colour scheme: It’s awkward, basically. On the site you use tones of grey broken of by a saturated magenta. It’s not spectacular but clean and quite nice. I imagine that the sleeved sweater is an attempt to emulate the feel of the site while getting rid of the keying problems you had with your tattoos, killing 2 birds with one stone. The problem is that it’s a to washed out colour to break of the grey properly. Sloncek, either you need to go in there with whatever editing application you use and crank up the saturation of the shirt or you need to find the lady some new clothes. :)
Optionally and this is what i recommend, is that you add another break of element within the scene, a appropriately coloured border around the photos, some kind of bar displaying names, Torrentfreak TV logo or something similar. Just to break it of more from the grey, grey, grey. Also a more vibrant sweater (and why isn’t she wearing a torrentfreak t-shirt?).

in any case problem 2, depth perception: There is a problem with this shot and that is that you get absolutely no feel for the depth! Even Super Mario Bros to the NES had that stuff in the background to give you a sense of perspective. This is a problem because it makes the viewer somewhat uncomfortable. It’s just human nature, we don’t like when things are out of place. Now using a studio is most likely out of the question? Faking it using gradients over the background would probably ruin the background, so what you can do is to put something in front of her that extends further towards the camera, like a table. another option if you are feeling technically advanced is to set the lights to cast a shadow on the chroma keying background and extract that colour to a mask you make to a shadow layer and then ad over the final background. This is a little tricky to set up tough depending on which software you use. Both autodesk combustion and after effects can handle it as well as nuke, shake, fusion, houdini etc. I Dont know if final cut, sony vegas or adobe premiere has toolsets for it.

Third thing as said are the papers, we dont like stuff that’s out of place! Why does she hold papers she never reads of? Arrrgh these petty details!

Keep up the good work guys! :)

You tyheonion spends 100K , ROFL… seriously, with modern technology this vodcast could be made a lot better looking very easily, you guys at TF just have to learn a few techniques or find someone who does.
