Hey, guys. I'm not sure if this is the best place for this, but I feel like it is. Right now this is just the first video, and it features me hunting for figures, but I'm also going to do figure reviews, and matches during these episodes in the future. I need to get used to filming inside of department stores, and stuff, but hopefully my rushed 1st episode isn't the worst thing ever! Let me know!

Since there is not an animation in this video, this should be considered spam and result in a locked thread by Andeh.

I think you have a decent idea here, but the execution could use a little work. A few suggestions:
Have someone come with you, and have them film it. When you're looking through the toys on the pegs, it's shaky, which is off-putting. Also, it'd be a lot easier for someone else to get a better view from an angle adjacent to you.
Put some talking into it before and in between stores. Tell us where you're going and some anecdote about your life or the figures you're looking for. As it stands now, it's a voyeuristic view of you looking through toys when it could be a documentary.
Cut down and/or speed up (in editing) the footage of you looking, only focusing on points of interest. This help significantly in giving it a more professional feel.
At the end, a quick review or simple thoughts on your haul would really help to wrap it up. Also, if you have some sort of display you do, placing the figures in it as you do your "end credits" would make for a nice image.

Cool, guys. Thanks for moving it, and the notes. I was originally going to do some voice over stuff, but the computer I was going to use ended up being a whole hassle, and I just said "f it", and went with what I had raw footage-wise. Thinking about giving it another shot manana. Also wanted to get shots of the stores before I went in, but spaced it.
That Toys R' Us sale, and I hear Target got a new shipment, so perhaps I'll do that.
Thanks again Ben and Andeh!

Idea is good, just need to slow it down a bit. I got dizzy watching you shuffle through the pegs like a madman. Lol

Thanks for the feedback, playas! (Sorry, Teddy Long just came out on this WWECW episode I'm watching)
Going to try and do another episode today!

Does Wal-Mart price check? Might go back, and get a Bryan or two on a Toys R' Us price match!
Anyway... I did another Toyspotting Episode, and I tried using all the notes you guys gave. Let me know if my game has been stepped up!

Let me know if my game has been stepped up! Definitely better. Pretty much the only thing I would say now (other than the review and display notes from before, which you already said would were coming later) is just keep doing it and getting better. This isn't a suggestion so much as an observation, but I envisioned the talking part as you talking while driving to the store. It's not needed, but it would give it the feeling of progression rather than setup.

Dude, the hunt is one of the best things about collecting figs for me. Finally finding the fig you have been looking for is exciting. Its cool to see someone else get pumped about a good find. Keep it up, its a good idea.

Thanks again, Ben. I might just have to do one of those driving to the store spots!
Hell yeah, Wrassler! Never a boring time hunting for some wrestling figures!
Thinking I'll put my Smackdown ring together today, debating if I should film it!

There's nothing to lose and everything to gain.
