The topic of my first video is washing my motorcycle, and I filmed it on my mobile phone which worked pretty well.

I learned a few things

* I accidentally filmed the first part of the video in portrait mode.  . I decided to put some text on screen apologising and letting the audience know it'll go to landscape mode soon.

* Due to the location of the camera and weird tripod / mount setup I managed to cut off most of my head on a fair few shots. Some might says that's a benefit  but it's something I am now aware of and can fix for next time.

* I've only just realised now that the audio is stronger in one channel (left) in most sections, and right channel in other portions.  Perhaps I should have converted it to a mono audio track?

The sound quality was also better on my computer before I uploaded it to YouTube so not sure what the deal is with that. Something to do with compression I assume. Might need to look at the settings in my editor.

Despite all that, overall I'm pretty happy with it for a 'first' video for the channel

I'd appreciate if you could let me know what you think of the  video AND the 'look' on my channel, so far. (Things including channel art, logo etc - in fact anything)

Suggestions are always welcome.

Note that at the moment the videos on there are old / were created for forums and are not necessarily indicative of future content. They also lack thumbnails etc I'm aware of that and future ones will naturally have the usual 'bells and whistles'.

Subscribed Vlad. Couldn't help wondering if you made this with Hooli in mind

I know how to wash a bike, I just don't.

Good to see you using my "Leaf blower" method for drying the bike. Works a treat doesn't it

I'm still confused by the title of this thread.

LandyVlad is my internet nickname in many other places, rather than VladTepes.

Usually when VT was already taken.

Vlad checked your competition in the wash my bike stakes.
Couple of tips, seems you're lacking a near naked fair breasted wench with a soapy sponge & bucket.
Full marks for your choice and colour of bike, most others appear to have chosen American chromed compressors with grannies sideboard strapped across the back.
Good first effort a solid 7/10

Thank you, Vlad, for the video - a detailed one. Even though I find it useful, I usually let someone else wash my car, but I subscribed to your channel. Maybe you can check some websites that offer more info on motorcycles, like https://motorcyclesportworld.com/, and see how they structure their articles. Get some inspiration and diversify your content. I'm sure this will bring new followers. But what's more important, share your own experience related to motorcycles. People don't just want to know the information they can find on the official website, but something that helped you in your experience or didn't work so well with your motorcycle.

Great for lighting fires too

Thanks.
As with all things I have plenty of ideas but little time.
