Ok, I mentioned I was thinking of doing this in another topic a few days ago, but I figure I'll post this here. Any constructive feedback would be appreciated. Basically, it's a video of "news" stories. I've gone with a basic clip show approach to start off with, rather than spend days working on filming stuff, but if this did ok and got decent feedback, I'd probably think of upping production values...

Episode One:
* Michael Cole's next opponent.
* Cody Rhodes in the dog house.
* Sin Cara 2
* TNA's new name.
* What is in A-Ri's briefcase?

• Was any of that factual?
• Focus it on what you'd like to see happen, based around current facts and info

Vince McMahon sounds like a dick. He wants Rhodes to actually disfigure himself.

D2D

Really enjoyed that and got a good laugh from it.

Zack Ryder's push in A-Ri's briefcase...:pac::pac:

That's a good first episode, some funny stuff in there. A lot of it nicely walks the line between plausibility and absurdity.

Be great to see more!

Enjoyed that a lot. I think you should start your own thread for it, not everyone will see it in here and it deserves a bigger audience. It could really catch on I think. Hope it becomes a regular think, but as I said I don't think anyone would have a gripe with it having its own thread if so.

Of course. It was all factual, based on information obtained from inside sources. Of course, now the news is out there, it may actually change and none of it may actually come to fruition, but still.... :P

As for it's own topic, I'll let a mod decide I guess. I wasn't sure if it did warrent its own but if it does, maybe a mod could just move the posts out of this topic and into one of its own?

DM_7

I enjoyed the vid. Had me laughing, keep us linked to the videos as you post them.

jaykhunter

well done mate. Impressed with the script, the V.O. and the pics/syncing them. myself personally when i do the 'list of funny things' i keep them to three; as the punch might wain with 10+.

I was surprised how not-outlandish your topics were, they almost actually true, lol and I bet I'll confuse some stuff (like Sin Cara) in the future.

Looking forward to seeing more. Whenever you finish the 2nd or 3rd ep place them in a new thread. Or ask a mod to cherry pic the responses here and split into a new thread

necika023

thanx.. above one was perfect!!

Lord TSC

Yeay, own topic Thanks.

And thanks for the kind words. Motivating me to write up another script now :P It's got 49 views in less than a day which I'm happy with; my last video "review" recieved 12 views in 6 months (granted it was on Blip.tv, but still...)

irish_stevo815

Ha loved this, keep up the good work man!!!

At first I wasn't too sure if it was supposed to be real or not. I mean hiring the Sign Guy would not surprise me in the least.

Zack Ryder as Sin Cara would be Da Bomb tho

@DirtsheetDave

Ridley

Arquette being six times better than Christian

should be a meme.

Ridley requests theme music. (Tarzan Boy)

Although I think you missed a trick by not having the intro card showing WWE and MTPITNBTFYTACEWDAITWPYAAAYBMNSAYTYWLDWPHAPACAOMDYPITG Wrestling this week.

Lord TSC

Argh, I am actually annoyed with myself for missing that >_< That would have been funny...

jaykhunter

i can't get that twitter working?

ah.......here it is http://twitter.com/#!/DirtsheetDave

editing skills have definitely improved!

Arquette

segment was hilarious! great stuff man

Lord TSC

Could someone do me a favour and actually send me a message on Twitter? I'm worried now that there's something screwy with it. I had an account that I just changed the name of to DirtsheetDave (no spaces; corrected in last post), but when I search for it, it doesn't come up in any results. Just want to make sure its actually working.

And thanks to everyone who has watched so far. Have 50 views in about 36 hours, which is more than I had in about 4 days with episode one

jaykhunter

sent u a tweet there... http://twitter.com/#!/DirtsheetDave should bring anyone to ur page

Woo woo woo!

Lord TSC

Much appreciated. Got the message ok

So yeah. Even twitter.com/DirtsheetDave seems to work

CMpunked

That was brilliant TSC, keep it up.

DM_7

Good job again. I liked the way the latest show contained follow on stories from the week before.

The only negative I could find was the length of the video. Maybe 7 mins is a bit long. Sometimes less is more, look at Zack Ryder, despite all the success his vids are getting he is keeping them short. That is only a small negative and its just my opinion, there were already positive comments about the stuff that cam at the end of the video so it must have been pretty good.

I look forward to next weeks.

Lord TSC

Oh wow. Spoony just retweeted the news I posted of him joining the TNA writing team XD

CMpunked

I'm so tempted in sending your videos to wrestlezone.
They would totally buy it.

Hehe, I'd laugh so hard. On another board, we've got fake stories published in the past on WZ. Favorite one was when a load of us said we were at a show when Kane was carrying around a bag, and we said he dropped it and his old mask was inside. They carried it as an exclusive story for two weeks...

:eek: I remember reading that!

Lord TSC

Then our plan was a success

Anyway, I'm holding off episode three till after the PPV this Sunday to see what happens. Have my main story all thought out and I do want to bring it down to under five minutes, if I can. Just want to wait and see how things pan out on the PPV and the Raw before I make another "report"...

In the meantime, my twitter has 17 followers! Yeay!

Lord TSC

It's episode three! Decided to follow some advice and make it a bit shorter. So only two stories and a question of the week

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hW5qp1uwYGk

EPISODE THREE:
* Internal Civil War in WWE
* A Presidental Guest being lined up...
* Main Event of Capitol Punishment revealed.
* Answering a Twitter Question.

And remember to subscribed to the videos for updates, and follow me at
Twitter.com/DirtsheetDave for more news and previews.

Bounty Hunter

didnt spot this till now (Bump), love it. So thats why Zacks push is being curtailed must be hard on Cena having to walk by his buddy every week but no unlike him Zack wont see action till he joins McMahons kiss my ass club (surprised you didnt use a pic from that).

Lord TSC

Well, I was tempted but then I realised I didn't want to subject people to Vince's naked ass.....unless you're into that sort of thing :P

Lord TSC

Episode 4 will be up tonight or tomorrow. It's all done and ready to go. Just need to upload it

Preview:
Vince's reactions to declining PPV Numbers
The Bound for Glory scoring System
Can you smell what Barrack is cooking?

And, for the first time ever, a musical number dedicated to a hero of mine...

Lord TSC

Phew. Was a push to get this done before I head off on holidays but it's finished

EDIT: Youtube seems to be glitching out at the moment so I'm taking the video down here from now. Hoping it's fixed before I leave. If not, I'll keep trying to update it over the weekend and see if it works

Whiplash

The video is private

Lord TSC

Whoops, should be working now

Whiplash

Still coming up as private for me

jaykhunter

to make it public; if this is any use to ya....... go to "my videos" and click "edit" on the latest episode then....

http://img23.imageshack.us/img23/5767/youtubepublic.jpg

Lord TSC

Yeah, done that. Hmm, tried again. See if it works now.

jaykhunter

still private unfortunately!

maybe set it to private; save, come back in a few minutes and set it to public, and give it a little bit.

Lord TSC

ARGH! For some reason, it keeps resetting itself back to private. Checking on google, it seems a common problem but with no solution visible :mad:

genuine lol when devon's face popped up on the vid. Class work man, keep it up.

Lord TSC

Ok, so I've had this inkling to start up a podcast over the last few weeks, to kind of play out alongside the Dirtsheet Dave YouTube series (of which a new video is going to be coming up over the next few days). However, obviously Boards.ie already has its resident and established podcast and I don't want to intrude on that by doing a straight up news discussion show. Even apart from that, I was looking for an idea which stood out from the run-of-the-mill discussion podcasts which are prevelant online and wanted to put a spin on it. So, here's what I've come up with and I'd appreciate all feedback and thoughts on the idea.

A Wrestling Comedy Quiz Podcast

Name still pending, of course. Basically, I'm a big fan of comedy quiz shows like Mock the Week, 8 Out of 10 Cats, Nevermind the Buzzcocks, Have I Got News for You and the likes. Shows which discuss the news and rumours of the week but in a quiz format which facilitates discussion but allows for jokes and fun as well.

Basically, what I was thinking was could a podcast be done with, say, five people which has two teams of two and a host, who asks questions which people discuss, offer funny answers to and have some entertaining banter around? It's the type of thing I'd have little experience with but I'd imagine if I could get four other people who thought they could be entertaining, record something together and then (and I think this would be important) edit it down to 20-30 mins of the best bits with music and the likes thrown in for production values. There'd be three or four rounds, focusing around different sorts of questions, games or the likes. So there could be a straight up trivia round, a "Guess that wrestler" round where one person gives clues and their partner has to guess the wrestler being described, a "Guess the Theme" round where one person sings the instrumental intro of a song and partner has to guess, and so forth. I'd probably say about recording on a Thursday evening between eight and nine (since thats when I have the house to myself <_<) but times would be flexible to ensure we got people involved.

So what do people think? Would it work? Would people listen? Would anyone be interested in helping set it up? Would it be a worthwhile venture?

CMpunked

Sounds like an excellent idea.
I'd be on for it if you need numbers.
