Evolution: Fact or Fiction?

dlofnep

Hey guys,

A follow on from the Evolution thread we had a few months back - I edited a video for a relatively new channel on mine, discussing the topic of evolution and presenting evidence to support it as an observable fact.

Unless it's tits, or Justin Bieber... It's hard to get traffic towards youtube videos. I have 2 videos up on my channel, and I'm going to try edit a few more over the next few weeks. It's very time consuming, so I'm going to try keep them short (3 mins max).

Note: Sound is screwed up for mobile devices, so watch on a PC for best quality.

Have you considered doing an "Evolution of breasts" video? Youtube stardom awaits!

also, you might want to stand a little bit further back from the microphone.

Nicely done.

Note to Evolution sceptics:
If you have an issue with anything in the video - repost the video and your comments in this thread.

Very good video man. Keep them coming.

Good video - but try using a pop shield (aka pop filter) - you can make one with a pair of tights and a coat hanger ...

Zillah

Are you terrified of your own voice or something? What's with the bizarre audio filter? Volume is also really low.

Pushtrak

Great video, keep up the good work. I posted the video around the place. Hopefully you'll see some traffic go your way.

shizz

I second the comments regarding the audio, but I'm sure it's not his fault. Just working with what hes got guys.

There's no audio filter? That's recorded directly to audacity. I think my microphone has a loose wire or something, as I never got pops from it before. I'll have to invest in a new one soon

Is the audio really that poor? Aside from the occasional pop here and there, it sounds ok here.

When I tried watching it on my phone, it was god awful and exceedingly scratchy. Just tried it on my pc there and it seems to be pretty much fine, no background noise etc. Except it seems as if you're hitting the Mic on occasion. :pac: It's rather interesting though, I really have to do some proper reading up on evolution at some point. Any books that anyone would recommend ?

dlofnep

Thanks - Someone else on their phone said it was poor on there also. I'll disable it from playing on mobile devices.

I'd reccomend Jerry Coyne's book - Why evolution is true. Best of the lot I think with respect to presenting evidence as to what evolution is and why it is a fact.

Actually, apart from a few pops at the start, the sound quality is pretty good. (IMO, obviously.)

To me it sounded pretty low and thiny. There were a few pops near the end to but nothing that takes away from the presentation really.

dlofnep

Thanks Must be just an issue with mobile devices so. They are now disabled from playing the video, so people on PC's should be only able to view it now.

No problem. I look forward to more.

Not just by worms. :P

A few audio pops here and there, but nothing overly annoying. Re: volume, it's fine. I watched on a laptop BTW.

I'm going to go with fiction.

You're missing the bit where we came from chimpanzees.

Logical Fallacy

Pretty sure Audacity has EQ' and Compressors in it, so for your next video just pop on an EQ and cut off everything below 40 HZ and above about 17000HZ. The put on a second EQ and tone down about 550 HZ a little bit. It should remove pops, hiss and any rumble on most devices.

Applying a compressor and setting the peak correctly will give a stable volume level throughout the audio.

Great video. Should be shown to every primary schoolkid in the the country. You should contact dept. of education.

dlofnep

Cheers!

Logical Fallacy, will keep it in mind for next video - thanks! I've only basic experience with audacity. But it's fairly intuitive.

GarIT

There were a lot of pops on my laptop in the last 30 seconds, it was perfect up until then.

stevejazzx

Great Video - nicely put together

The audio compression triples when youtube detects a 3g connection and that is what causes the mobile device issue btw
If you're getting a new mic I recoomend this guy its amazing
