Hi there!
My name is Seraph Nitefall, fellow adventurer and I'm writing to you in regards to the pilot episode of "The Bam Show" and the reason why I chose to write in email is because Youtube has a word limit and I'm currently unable to log-on to the forums. Now what I think about the show is that it is a fantastic idea! I'm not familiar with variety shows as I don't watch the television much but I really like how you make the video feel as if I was watching the news. Very formal with bits of humor sprinkled on it. I particularly like the... like the... Hell, I loved every segment of it and I'm not one to watch these shows. The ad segment was a nice touch even though you didn't have to do it, I like that :)
Now what I think should be improved is the Community Spotlight and the Plank'n segments. I'll get to the Plank'n in a moment. Now the interview felt really tedious to watch because the only thing I was able to see were two characters sitting together with a small box to the upper right featuring some gameplay(I assume it was the Guild Wars 2 Anthem video?). Now I understand what you're trying to do here, its neat, as if it was a real life interview however after some time, looking at two characters just sitting gets really boring and I found myself squinting at the video on the upper right most of the time. Now don't get me wrong, I loved the interview itself, I wouldn't mind just listening to it but to a viewer's perspective, it is a video and your characters could do something more than just sitting. Say, walking through the city together, maybe sit and talk at an Inn(Maybe not right now with that pesky camera angle!) for a bit then head somewhere else like a waterfall and just take in the view. The lands of Tyria is indeed beautiful. Now let me get to the Plank'n segment, I felt that it was short and not very interesting. Pictures don't really do the video much justice and I suggest hiding the UI while taking pictures. You should not restrict yourself to just the sleep emote, you can feature pictures of people doing all kinds of silly things like a Charr dancing on a building on fire or something like that. Guild Wars 2 lacks emotes at the moment though...
And I think that's it. My personal opinions on The Bam Show. Very nice show with some quirky humor and vibrant characters. I've just subscribed to your channel and will be keeping a close eye on it. Give a thumbs up to the people who helped you with the video mate :). Maybe you can share with me what you have in mind? Hope to hear from you guys soon.
