Hey all, So I spent a LOT of time on this video… and I mean a lot… hours and hours of painstaking labor… and all for the sake of art. 🙂 (Which means, it doesn’t sell or promote anything. It just exists for its own sake.) And now I want people to see it! I posted it on my sister’s account on Youtube at: [Secrets of the Internet-- Cats Included.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2FFIYHmEXQ4) There’s also a link to the other version in the description. That, too, was a labor of love. Harry Potter fanfic is involved.🙂 (So the pic is my sister, not me… Why my sister’s account? Well, I was under the impression that people could only find videos through search terms if a user had three or more videos already on the channel.Who knows if it’s true. Too late to change it now.) 😉 ---

Couldn’t make head or tails of it. So, yeah, I guess it must be a work of art. ---

I thought we weren’t allowed to post threads saying “Look at my YouTube video.” ([cite](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=16075361&postcount=8) - from when I posted a similar thread.) I’m not trying to diss the OP, I’m just trying to see if there’s a rule against posting your YouTube videos. ---

So, it was a parody of the educational films that we used to watch in elementary school with a dash of conspiracy theory thrown in. I thought it was actually kind of funny. The Draco-Ginny version was really weird, though. ---

Oh… I’m sorry, if it ISN’T allowed…(feels bad.) I checked out Emily’s thread, and it was closed. But the thing is that I know I’ve seen people posting links to their blogs. So that’s why I thought it was okay, as long as it wasn’t spam/trying to sell something. Believe me, it isn’t. ---

Didn’t know so many Dopers had ADHD. It’s a three minute video, people. Anyways, I thought it was funny, in that wacky Far Side way. I grinned the whole way through. Though I didn’t quite get the ending. ---

Thanks! 🙂 I asked the question about the 3-vid requirement in General Questions, btw. I swear I read that somewhere, but I’m not sure how reliable the source was. And the ending was… well, I think that everyone can kind of make up their own, but the idea is that the hapless narrator was dragged off by special forces and put into a black helicopter or similar conveyance. (It’s a PARODY… I’m not saying that I think this is really happening…) ---

It does show that you put a lot of time into it. Anybody who doesn’t think so has never actually tried to make a good video. I liked it – don’t get the WTFs; guess some people can’t handle the truth. 😉 BTW: Do you hear helicopters yet? Is there a black van parked outside with lots of weird looking antennas sticking up? ---

Kind of cute, mildly entertaining, and I got the ending. IOW, better than some of my videos.☹ All that unzooming nearly sucked my eyeballs out, though. ---

Mildly entertaining. Except for the microphone tapping or whatever the heck was going on with the sound. Really distracting. ---

That was the sound of the chalk ‘writing’ on the chalkboard. Took me a minute to figure out too. ---

I confess I don’t get it, but I’m a sucker for cats, so it was kinda cute. The backwards N thing though drove me nuts. I ended up focusing on that more than anything else, looking for it and hoping it was an occasional cutesy thing. ---

I ended up focusing on that more than anything else, looking for it and hoping it was an occasional cutesy thing. It annoyed me too, so I decided it was a spread out lowercase “n.” The “i” is lowercase, so maybe that was the intention. ---

It was the blackboard font. I agree about the backwards n, though. It’s possible that I went a little overboard with the reverse zooming… 😉 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/i-made-a-video-come-and-see-it-yay/674129.md?page=2)
