Youtube Videos

I am hoping to throw together a few youtube videos here in the near future, and I am curious as to what you guys like about the abundance of youtube videos out there from reptile breeders. So, with all the BHB, 8 Ball, RDR and Boaphile videos out there, what do you like about them? And what do you dislike about them?

Post what ever you find interesting. I like to see peoples rat colonys and special snakes. No feeding videos though, we have seen plenty of those...

Do something unique and never done before....like speak in tongues. that would be cool. and funny :gj:

I'd like to see more informational or opinion-based videos. Tell me what YOU think, as the breeder. You're the one we look to for great advice, so offer it up freely, and don't mince words.

Haha, Nate put down the Martini and step away from the bar!! I am working on unique ideas, but speaking in tongues wasn't one of them, don't know why I didn't think of that though. :D

Personally, I like to see the collection and setup videos the most. I find it interesting to see how others have their animals housed and what they keep in their collection.

I generally steer clear of feeding videos. Unless it's a unique species. How many times can it still considered interesting to watch a Ball Python eat (unless it's your own :D)?

I like seeing the extras. This includes how-to, DIY kinda stuff....tools of the trade sort of deal. I like seeing feeder setups, different racks (commercial or DIY), random tips etc....oh, and screaming hot lemon's....I love White Diamond Reptiles pastels...too bad they are like 3x as expensive as the competition.

I got the most video hits with these two

YouTube - My snake room, including My blue eye lucy, spider and rats
YouTube - Mouse Barn

Is that possible?

Figured I'd weigh in on this, even though I just got my first snake I'm subscribed to a ton of snake channels on YouTube.

I don't know how others feel about this, but I'd rather listen to someone talk off the cuff than to watch scripted stuff. The scripted stuff tends to seem very fake to me (after all, you're snake breeders, not actors :colbert: LOL). Plus with just listening to the person talk I feel like I get a much better feel for who the person is and if I get that I'm probably going to be more likely to feel comfortable buying from them.

I like to see setups and routines, how the feeders are housed and taken care of especially.

x2. I like to see both sides of the coin presented, pros and cons of each, and then tell what YOU think.

Hope that helps a bit. :)

I like watching vids where rack setups are involved and of course, the collection. Gotta love seeing the unique ball pythons.

Cool, Thanks for the replies everyone. I am not an infront of the camera type of person, so for the most part I will be behind the camera, but I do plan on doing some collection videos as well as a few clutch videos as well, and shoot some video of removing females from their clutches and setting up the eggs in the incubators. I am also trying to think of some other off the way stuff, so my videos aren't just status quo, and I would like to get some video editing software to make the videos more professional. Anyone know any free software that will help edit videos to maybe add music and just make the other all look much more professional?

Yeah, I do have Windows DVD maker, can you add background music and other cool stuff like Adam does in his videos? Or is it strictly a program that is used to edit the arrangement of the video?

You can do a few affects and add music. You just have to play around and see, if you really want to get into it you'd probably have to look around or pay for it.

Sounds great, I am thinking along those lines, I guess it never gets old as long as you show some pretty cool animals in the process.

that's a good idea, I don't think I've seen that done... and as someone who's never bred before, that would answer a few questions

Check out Ralph Davis's videos, he has a few of him pulling females off of their clutches.

Nope, I think I am going to get a little video cam first, instead of using the digital camera for videos, but I am still a little uncertain about that. I am going to try to get a few good ideas for video topics then shoot all at once and post 4 or 5 up at a time. Atleast this is the plan, I also planned on blogging everyday, and well lets just say that aint happenin!!
