I rush because I wanna cram as much in as I can. However, once again, the vid didn't turn out quite the way I wanted it to- I only wanna show transformation and features, but I keep getting lost in fun facts 'n such, which I need to remember to cut down on somehow. And that's how it keeps running long. I'm hoping my next vid covering special transformation highlights in the DX line from "<i>Hurricanger</i>" will turn out better. Since the reviews on the individual toys are already covered, I can just pop in and out real quick-like. As to multiple takes, I indeed used many more this time, hoping that more takes that were shorter would work out. ...guess it didn't. Regardless of the size I shoot these at, this camera I'm using is a real power hog, so I shoot through AA batts in 45min; with multiple takes, it can extend out to an hour of shooting. As soon as I'm done with a take, that camera is <i>off</i>. ------------------------------ CollectionDX Staff I certainly don't do these on a script; it's all off the cuff.

Constructive criticism- take your time. You sound like your rushing yourself or you are nervous. Obviously you want to be concise and in depth (I KNOW you like to be indepth:))but don't feel like it all has to be done in 3 mins. A purely technical tip, if you need to do a new take. Start a new recording. Don't let the camera run. It's MUCH easier to edit when they are separate files and not one long one. Keep up the good work Eva. ___________________ CollectionDX Writer Nice to see you doing the video now as well. Constructive criticism- take your time.
