: One of the things I do is board the Pelican in mid-air.

okay first off, I'd like to say that these are pretty cool, and I'm amazed there are still so many variants to find at this stage.

I'd like to follow that up with some negativity, though, in the hopes that they'll make future content from you more watchable.

The filming-off-the-TV gave me a headache after a couple of minutes. I understand that you don't have any way to film it directly, and that the game itself forces you to do your own filming or not record it at all; there is no way for someone to do it for you, unless they can repeat your gameplay. That's all fine - so you should put your film together with these limitations at the forefront of your mind.

You ran through the same jumps a million times (well, a bunch of times) - maybe you wanted to show us that it wasn't a fluke, but I didn't need to SEE it a million times. Twice would have been plenty. (Once would have been acceptable, with explanation.) And there are no breaks in the film - there's no way to know where one route down stops, and the next one starts, so I couldn't even fast-forward without being worried I might have missed stuff. You clearly have the ability to add text - you did so in the first video.

If you'd put up a note at the start of the second vid saying 'method one starts at x seconds. Method 2 starts at y seconds.' etc, I'd have been thrilled - when I'd seen enough to understand what you were doing, I could move on without worrying about missing something. And if you'd started each route down with a quick explanation of what we were about to look at, I would have had context for the drops.

Just some observations, and potential ideas for the next film. :)
