Even for an aspiring filmmaker I think excessive attention to lighting for what was supposed to be just a small update to his vlog would be immersion breaking. I mean, why would he go to all that effort to get the lighting just right for something that's not exactly a film project?

Youtube notified me of a new video, but before I watched it it was taken down by the user. Anyone catch it? I'm wondering if there was some sort of editing issue that caused them to remove it, if it was something they meant to post later, or if it being taken down is due to something in game (seen that happen before).

This wasn't just a small update. This is his official opening statement and It wasn't just the lighting. There are so many problems with this update that it almost seems he intentionally made errors. Much of his logic and even the framing of the scene was all wrong too. I hope the next update plays out better.

I really don't think that just because someone is an "aspiring film maker" they're going to make an effort with their lighting for a vlog entry that's a school history (not film) project. You seem to be expecting the character to act like he's filming something intended to be viewed as a film project for our entertainment. The new update is up now, not sure why it was originally removed. This time the aspiring film maker is not in control of either camera.

You seem to be missing the point of what I wrote. You just keep focusing on lighting and failing to address the other issues. Either way here is a link to the latest episode.

I am pleased that they have returned to what they do best.

that was neat. UNTIL, the little poor acting sesh at the end. if they cut that part out, the entry would have been pretty awesome. tis a shame. not sure why they thought that last scene would add to the entry...
but, overall not bad.

Slendy>Talking. I think they should highly stick to that formula. Other than that, I think they are heading in the right direction.

That was really well done, the first two videos I was kind of meh on, but the last one was really good in my opinion.
They definitely have me as a viewer, I didn't see anything wrong with the last entry, and Slendy's appearance was kind of expected but still well done.

I didn't like video number two and I don't like the video of them in the woods finding paper with scribbles on. Yawnfest. But the video of them finding the dude unconscious at night was very good (but like someone else said, the convo at the end was unnecessary).

These videos would be amazing, if they took out all of the talking/acting. The videos themselves are creepy, but I feel like I'm watching the special kids from high school have a fantastically creepy adventure. And on the latest video, I wish that they didn't make the notes so obvious. In all honesty, who sees something that looks like trash, and sees if there's something important on it? Oh and one more thing...

Oh my god, in the latest video I just realized they sound like Beavis and Butthead.
DAMMIT.
Edit: I enjoyed it quite a bit other than what I mentioned above, only problem I had was they reacted too freaked out to just finding the three notes, but when they found the pile of them it seemed perfect to me. I'll continue watching.
