It's good Dave - apart from that weird fast speed bit right at the start

Nice job Dave.

Have you changed the bit at the start then, cos I think the speeded up bit is quite good.

The only thing was I found the red lettering a little difficult to read over the red carpet background.

Steve was referring to the text at the start jumping about that I fixed

This is done on a phone camera but if done professionally it could look great.

Your right about the red colour too.

Looks good Dave, you'll have to offer your services on here.

You asked what else is out there, we use Camtasia Studio.

Hi Dave

Well I think for a first time effort I think you have done really well mate, well done. Doing things for the first time is always going to be tough - but like everything its a learning curve.

You had a couple of good angles there, and I think if you had other jobs on there as opposed to one - with maybe a cleaning procedure to show the steps you take, would look impressive.

Go for it mr Speilberg!

Cheers

Kev

spot on just the bit at the beginning, you don't need it too polished just show what you need to say.

polished is good but not too much also you see the other in your area attached to the ad bar on yours so all you need to do is be better than them, for instance look at this from one of the guys up here, spot the problem with the first couple ?

Paul,

Because of Dave's blindness I was willing Kath to say something and back him up but alas she didn't. Although he could obviously not see the results I felt his comments backed up my service in other ways. Advice, politeness, efficiency etc... The other clients I have on make up for the Rathband's 'problem' as you put it.

That is one sad, sad story - truly a horror story for him and his family - one minute he's sitting in a car minding his own business and the next moment some loony shoots him at point blank range through his side window

we live in a country where we like to think our coppers resemble the two PCs in Last of The Summer Wine but in fact this guy ended up in a remake of the Terminator...oh how our world has changed

I hope his charity can survive without him and get something positive out of all this

Yes Truly horrible thing that happened, and the perpetrator was a total idiot/coward.

John sorry I wasn't clear, it the postumouse advertising I was referring too I think you could leave yourself open, but you had a good few more hits on the video and no-one else seams to think so. so it's obviously not a problem.  I guess bob monkhouse did it already.

no way can that video continue to be used for marketing, I'm sure john will stop using it

Dave just been reading an article about google seo and it was saying that YouTube annotations are picked up before the description on youtube videos, might be worth adding some if you are wanting the video to rank on google( plus it stops people pinching your video and using it )

while i'm here....John are you still showing the testimonial video on YouTube?
