Okay, before you watch it, know that I am looking for constructive feedback but I already know several things.  I know that I:

• Need a better camera, it’s very grainy
• Need better lighting, it looked awful
• Need something for audio, it sounds terrible
• I don’t know what I am doing

But, I am trying to learn and I do plan on doing regular videos and improving my skills.  Please don’t judge me on this first video. Check it out and if you can make it through the whole thing, I would love to hear some constructive feedback

   Why is Yuengling Lager cheaper in NY state than it is in PA…where it is brewed?

   I like your sense of humor, Brian. A few tips on lighting. The best place to have a light is actually *behind* the camera aiming at you. Try putting a table lamp on a coffee table behind the camera with the shade off. Take a few test videos to try out the lighting – have someone sit in your place to see how it looks The audio really isn’t that terrible, if anything at least you can be understood loud and clear. Wireless mics are not too expensive on Amazon.com, if you want to take that step.

   And for the record, the cat walking behind you was kinda cute/funny.

   Best of luck in your efforts,
   The Beer Babe

   That’s a good question, I don’t know the answer to it. I would suspect it has to do with PA’s wacky liquor and beer laws and that PA charges a higher tax on beer than NY but that’s just a guess
