New Promo video for Roof Cleaning by A&E

Kleen Roof and Exterior Cleaning · Nov 25, 2012

Eric, It looks good. The only thing I would maybe change is the pause between when you finish talking at the beginning and when the pics start. A shorter pause maybe.

looks good Eric, and a nice start ... couple things

1) I'd include some video of you cleaning and/or speaking

2) pictures didn't start til about 30 seconds in, perfect time to show yourself speaking to the camera

3) include music, and there was a long pause from you speaking in the beginning to the end, i'd mention the other services in the introduction

4) around the 1:22 mark, when you say "call today ... " it kind of comes across too slow, almost like you're reading from a script

you're on your way though, nicely done!!!

Ya, I second what both of them have said. Looks like your making some progress, imovie is not easy. We all aren't adult film producers like Ed.

Liberty SoftWash · Nov 25, 2012

Yes I liked Ed's. Maybe someday I can be in his shoes, but I have a long away to go!

I bought a book on Amazon about iMovie, it has been a huge help so far. I'd ship it to you but I told the porn director I was gonna mail it to him when I'm done but I need it for reference.

@ Ed, I'll ship one your way for christmas pal

Liberty SoftWash · Nov 25, 2012

What is the name of the book you bought Mike?

Roof Cleaning West Chester PA · Premium Member Roof Cleaning Institute of America

iMovie

Liberty SoftWash · Nov 25, 2012

Sweet. Thanks call me when you get a chance.

I think everything Mike mentioned. Don't take it the wrong way but your voice is a lil boring, try to practice what you are going to say and pick it up a little....so it flows out when you are ready and a friendly upbeat voice will keep thier attention.

I watched several tutorials on youtube about iMovie. There is some useful stuff that can help with the basics of a video making.

Eric, there were a few moments that reminded me of Rocky Balboa reading a script when he made that tv commercial (Rocky II, or III ?). I got the same result when I wrote a script. So instead I freestyled until it came together, maybe 10 takes. I think it made it more fluent.
A little music goes a long way. In my hurricane video, the music is everything. It makes it like somebody died. Not that dying is the effect someone should strive for, but thats the emotion it leaves with the user. Even talking with music in the backround really steps it up. Imovie lets you easily adjust the volume levels with each track.
Whatever you paid for your Mac is worth. Im looking at different photoshops for Mac. Adobe is a paid but theres a free Mac photoshop called Gimp that Im considering.
Lastly Eric, I love when people say "warshing". Reminds of my mom.

Ed, I have been looking for an editing program. I have been working on putting my logo into my video. I know how to do it, I just haven't been able to because my logo is poor quality. If any of you guys need help with the logo, let me know.

Thanks Ed, by the end of winter I will have it down to a science. I found a homemade iPhone holder on the web and it works with a tripod that I have been using. I think I paid 11 dollars for it.
