I did an unboxing video of my new Triumvirate of the Imperium...and figured I would share cuz why not?

TriUMvirate more like.
You calm down a bit once you settle into the video but count your 'UM's throughout. There are a lot too many.
Other than that it was interesting to see what's in the box.
Thank you.

Thank you for the feedback This is really only the 3rd or 4th video I've ever done and I'm not usually a talkative person by nature (incredibly shy and self conscious) so I never know what to say, thus all of the "um"s and "whatever"s lol. If I do any more videos I will keep that in mind

I can't really add any c&c beyond the already mentioned fact that almost every third word is um.

Duly noted

Looking back the wording of my post was perhaps a little harsh. I'm glad you saw it as criticism/feedback rather than a full on assault.

To be a little more constructive, try 'scripting' a little bit, nothing too serious but just a few bullet points and an idea of how to pace the video.

Also maybe invest in a clamp or tripod to reduce the dreaded shakes and it's generally better and less sea sickness inducing to move the object to the camera rather than camera to the object. Either way, pick one but never combine the two as that's a definite vomit.

Some stills would be nice, perhaps just at the end of the video.

One last thing would be to watch your video back a few times and don't be afraid to scrap it and start again if there are any problems. There is plenty of bad/mediocre content on you tube the good stuff does shine so it's worth putting in the extra effort to make yourself stand out.

Have you had a chance to assemble any of these yet? If so, how's the moulding and suchforth? They seem like quite substantial models too, but there don't seem to be a lot of components in there.

No worries Alex, I'm old enough to not be offended by comments, and can recognize *helpful* criticism when I see it

BBAP: not yet, I want to finish the project I'm currently working on before starting on those guys

Dang. I want all of those models but I'm too busy (lazy) to start a substantial build at the moment. Was kinda hoping they'd be nice, easy, and in not too many bits.

No, I can't even. Please no.

Since I have put together Belisarius Cawl, I can say he the moulding is awesome, everything fits together amazingly. But to say it "isn't a lot of components" is false in the most heinous of ways. The box has 6 "half-sprues." Three of these is Belisarius. He is fully half of a box of 5 models. The other models seem very easy to put together, though. Belisarius wasn't hard to put together, but took a long time. I would recommend following the guide on him very carefully. I saw all the pieces and decided for the first time ever to follow it step by step, only cutting things off the sprue when I needed it, and I am very glad that I did.
