Been Dabbling In Video Shisha Reviews

[Chaz1337]

What's up Hookahforum? As of late my roommates and I have have begun to foray into the world of video shisha reviews. I wanted to show you the two latest we have up now and get some feedback from you guys and gals. Any suggestions or constructive criticism is more than welcome! Its what I'm posting these for. I'm looking for the points hookah smokers look for when deciding on a new shisha. Hopefully we can keep up with making the videos and get into more than just shisha reviews and move into hookah preparation or bowl packing for hookah noobies! Again let me know what we can improve on.

Right now we are working on condensing the main points of each shisha and going for a nice flow.

Also we have (somehow) already received offers from who I think are the makers of Hookah-Hookah and Hookah Freak asking us to make videos for free tobacco

Needless to say I completely ignored this lol.

Below are the two latest shisha review videos we have done:

Sadly now I have been coerced into entering the twitter world and you can follow us... Our username is @CJTHookah

LASTLY (I promise) if anyone can hook me up with a nice hookahforum intro to throw at the start of our videos I would more than happily represent this amazing forum that has taught me all I know about hookah today!

First thing that I would suggest, get rid of the text screens, just say what you're going to talk about. Second, don't bother with nicotine content. It's decent, however your acting could be more natural as well.

i subbed, have fun with it!

The text screens do take away from it for sure, also make sure you do a little research before each video. Make sure you know everything that your talking about before the video. Also write, if not a script, at least a list of talking points. Lots of Umms turn people off of videos.

Thank you for not finding the fact that AF sounds like "I'll Fuck-her" humorous. .................................


Not bad first set of vids. As I said, thank you for sticking to the point, don't lose that and drift off in conversation like a lot of other reviewsers do. I like your shorter reviews better.

Something I find as a review watcher, is that get to business first. Introduce yourself, and get the actual rview done in like two minutes or less. Then, take time to plug in stories, descriptive opinions, thoughts on mixing, overall opinion, etc.

The quicker the review, the better. Post review conversation is optional, but nothing extreme.

Overall, well done. THANK YOU FOR HAVING DECENT VIDEO AND SOUND.

Thanks for the feedback guys and keep it coming! Hopefully in a few shirt minutes we will be reviewing Lucid K-Cherry and get that up later tonight. We are working on improving the speed and flow of the reviews and trying very hard to cut down as much as possible on the "umm"s. Its a lot harder than you would think.

But yea we are going to keep going for speedier reviews and make it overall more informative.

Another quick question do you guys like the text and score stuff that we have with the videos? Or even the music for that matter does it spice it up or should we leave it out?

[Chaz1337]

Newest review is out! Let me know what you guys think... I know the camera was off angle and the intro and outro will be shortened for future videos! Enjoy!

Sorry if this sounds like self promotion (will stop bumping if it does) but the newest video is out! We decided to pull out 3 of our pipes and do a little special edition episode! Let me know what you guys think!

Also if anyone is interested in making a Hookahforum themed opening graphic or something I would be happy to throw it at the start of the videos! Something about Pants optional would be AWESOME! Edited May 5, 2011 by Chaz1337

pretty good vids. Mizo guava/watermelon rocks ur socks!

[vendetta_revived]

Nice reviews man. I subscribed, if I had to criticize one thing in your battle of the mizo's, it'd be that I didn't see any good clouds throughout the video, people new to smoking hookah do notice what kind of clouds the shisha gives in video reviews, and that one kind of gives an impression that the mizo line doesn't quite give any good ones.
