I do have a good HD camera, I just have never really messed with the lighting, that was the problem.
Ah, gotcha. I'd still include a lot of gameplay but that's IMO.
As far as a script goes I'm horribly at reading things off like that. I can try, and I kind of did this time, but it might fail horribly. I had everything I said in this video written down in some way. I just wanted to glance over, notice the idea and then elaborate in my own words.
Yeah I'm not trying to push it on you or anything but I think it could improve your vids a little. Maybe you could use the process you used in this video with notes and talking, then make a (loose) actual script from that and read off of it?
I've noticed if a person isn't talking fast enough or jumping through topics without being redundant, I usually stop the video and look for someone more professional-seeming. Reviewers usually keep it pretty concise and have very little dead air. If they aren't talking, they're letting you focus on gameplay or pausing after some stupid pun.
The only reviewer I can think of who doesn't use frequent cuts is TotalBiscuit, but he's really good at speaking. Adam Sessler uses them more frequently, but his videos are just as entertaining because he's cutting out the boring bits and thinking out what he's going to say.
Well that rambled and I now have no idea where I was going so there ya go.
