the main area for improvement, they thought, was that the videos are sometimes a bit dry.
The videos are only dry to people who are not interested in the subject.
most successful channels rely on shorter videos, usually less than 15 minutes, which lets people get the information and the entertainment without having to dedicate a big block of time
If people don't like long videos then they can fast forward.
Since I think what Baloogan is doing is really valuable and helpful, I certainly don't want to sound like I'm criticizing him. But I still think my students made some good points. Even if he's only interested in creating "instructional" videos, and does not care if they're entertaining or popular, some of their observations might prove helpful. For example, instead of going all the way through one scenario and talking about every aspect of it, which means he's got a series of videos that total a couple of hours, it might be better to edit all that footage down and create several short videos,
each one focusing on a particular concept like "how to use laser-guided weapons" or "using prosecution zones" or "MiG-21s are outclassed by F-15s, but they can still kill your Eagles if you are not careful." (This also avoids the problem of "I don't
want to fast forward...I might miss something important!")
And if he's trying to "win converts" and get more people to try Command, I think shorter videos might be less overwhelming. We don't want to scare them off before they're hooked for life, after all.
Start making some videos again! It's been a while. [:)]
On that, my friend, we are in agreement!
