Hi eric, all is well thanks! Actually making videos for my work at an environmental consultancy agency nowadays

I'm sorry to say Reddit kind of pulled me away from videosift. Hope you're doing well too!

Girls, all they really want to do is make videos that are color coordinated and absolutely fabulous with a message that their infatuation with color coordination isn't part of the problem and they don't stop talking seriously they talk more than men and they blame men for the current zeitgeist just because we have beefy arms and are able to protect human civilization from other humans that would BURN DOWN LIBRARIES and bring you back to the rape standard.

Boys, is all you really want is boys? I'll wear pink. It's ok. Shhhhhhhhh... it's oooookaaaaaaay. (I'll wear panties.)

Hope you've been good.

I rarely come here anymore. Well, I do a few times a week but for the past maybe two years really not commenting or sifting at all.

Started making video games. Moved to SF and then my company moved me to Austin. I am officially a fucking TEXAN and that thought frightens me.

Still making movies?

I like the new format. Other than a few tiny nitpics (1. some of the text seems too small, 2. the description boxes that pop up on the channel selection screen are annoying, 3. the scaleable text elements sometimes look bunched when you reduce your screen size and 4. I wish you could make video titles sightly longer) it's a huge improvement.

Neil needs to come up with some awesome, awesome, mind-expanding quote that fixes the internet and makes videos like these available to be seen in Canada as well as everywhere else.


Seconded by someone in Thailand!

-EDIT- After a browser switch and a reload, video loaded fine here.

Amazing work, and well done, but please don't lose sight of the fact that it's not realism that makes video games fun.

Please please please make videos for the entire album.

must be running out of things to make videos about.

There is another view, including outside views, referenced from the article @eric3579 links to. This one was posted by Pavel Belyaev, with description googletranslated as follows:

--
To avoid any rumors or speculation on the fact of the events which occurred in our showroom April 7, 2012, we decided to provide full information about the incident, the chronology of events and make videos taken by surveillance cameras inside the cabin, and on the street.

The application and the timing of events http://www.pelican.ru/uploads/smi/smi2.pdf

The pdf describes the driver as a regular customer, Kustov Michael A., born in 1971, an obstetrician-gynecologist. It also says that before the incident he had been kept waiting for his car, but not excessively. If you don't read Russian, put the URL of the pdf into google translate and it will convert it.

I am still of two minds about whether I want to anything to do with this site any more. We have been harassed and our characters assaulted. Most of you appear to now believe we are who we say we are. Some of you do not. That's fine. You are entitled to your opinion; however, the harassment and personal character assaults need to stop.
Thank you to all of you who looked at the evidence and drew their own conclusions.

I've been pretty level headed about this entire thread until I read this. For some reason, the way you worded that just set something off in me.
Let me make something clear to you from the start:
You're going to take some flak.
Videosift is a fantastic place full of MANY different opinions on many different things. We come from all over the world and generally are considered a community rather than an outright forum. Since there's less people than youtube, we can basically actually talk TO one another. You'll see the same names leaving comments and upvoting on many different videos, joking around, etc. And as such, you're eventually going to do or say something someone doesn't like.
We have Winstonfield_pennypacker and Quantummushroom as die-hard republicans that on basically any political video you'll see them say something (at least I consider to be) stupid and that'll spark an argument, and then two videos later you'll see QM say something that'll actually make you laugh out loud.
On religious videos we have many heated debates, the sift as a whole is generally considered Atheist, and will argue til they're blue in the face about certain topics.
On police videos there's a few of us (myself included) that don't instantly hop on the "COP IS IN THE WRONG, FUCK DA PO PO" bandwagon, and will generally be caught in a debate or argument about it.
Essentially what i'm trying to say is.. We're not youtube. You're not going to be a blank face in the crowd, you have a personality, you have ideals, you have your own mindset, and here you'll get to express it amongst others. But be prepared to have others not always agree with them.
So, if you want to just blend in, say what you want, and make sure your feelings don't get hurt, go ahead and leave.
If you want to be a part of something that with the bad, also comes a world of good, then stay. Enjoy our little community. Just be prepared for what that entails if you do.


I like much of what you posted here. If I read correctly, you and I seem to have many things in common: Not a Republican? [check] Atheist? [check] Maligning Cops? [my Mom was the very first female police radio dispatcher in this major metropolitan area and my Dad was the booking sergeant in the city jail ... let's just say I agree that *they* aren't all bad and leave it at that] Couldn't wait to move out of the house when I turned 18? [check] though your mileage may vary, I just had to toss that in there.

Regarding your generalized description of YouTube I can only relay to you MY experience with it. I joined in July 2006. It was the only social network I belonged to up until this past year. In January 2011 I submitted two videos for a contest and to my delight, one was selected for the project. It was then that I discovered how much I enjoyed the experience of making videos so started from scratch with a little Kodak PlaySport camera. I eventually bought some software and began to teach myself editing. I may not be one of the big players on the tube, but I did find out that there are some truly wonderful, REAL people there. I was steadily attracting viewers and subscribers worldwide and that morphed into an actual online community for me. I've experienced many gratifying interactions through collaborations, comments and banter and have found a good number of folks that I've come to admire and respect. Some have become very good friends. I never once felt like a blank face in the crowd and found great joy in supporting and encouraging those that impressed me. My goal was and is to tailor my comments to relate to the subject matter at hand and, more often than not, attempt to infuse a bit of humor as well. Rarely will you see anything generic from me [unless I'm really, really tired]. That being said, I certainly would never expect ANYONE to BE like me ... I fully appreciate and embrace diversity. However, I don't engage in bullying, deliberate rudeness or intimidation because, like most folks, I have a lot of stress in my life and the time I get to spend away from it on the interwebs is my coveted escape.

All of the above came crashing down for me personally when Google took over YT and changed everything to the dreaded NewTube. Seemingly overnight my progression of new subscribers simply ceased. Views diminished and everything has basically ground to a halt. I still have and treasure most of my core supporters but much of the community aspect has diminished to the point where Ive found myself searching for something more rewarding on the side. VS was recommended to me and in the first couple of days after signing up I was duly impressed. It is by far the best community site I've experienced yet.

Is it a double standard for me to support the friends who have also joined and are currently the only people I know here? I sure hope not. My goal was and is to earn the respect of others already established in this community through my participation and conduct. Not a one of us intended to take over what you have here ... at first blush it appeared to be an exceptional place to be. Time will tell. I have hope.

Some people on Youtube, all they do is make WoW content stuff. Since they can use the engine to make videos to accompany them if the song is popular.

Lots of pretty good singers on there, find them more entertaining than the singing TV drama shows like "The Voice" and "American Idol".

They are way better at making videos than they are at making music.
