Agreed. Getting better.

Dunno if it's just me, but the fact you aren't centered is disturbing. Keep expecting a window to pop up next to you like in the news ... And as mentioned before, that background.

Lastly, try to pick up the pace just a little. At times you did, and I thought it was really good.

I think he is trying to follow the rule of the thirds, but he needs a little bit more going on the background. Something like a Techpowerup logo would be cool!

Good video. Same as the last video; good to see the intro first, then the indent, then the main portion. I noticed that it seemed like you wanted to make a distinction between just the news facts unbiased first and then maybe a little quip or some elaboration on the subject about the thing. I like that, its more intelligent than just interjecting some random opinion piece, also seemed more personal. Maybe use picture in picture stuff like if you have a video or picture up the the left hand corner while your sitting on the right or something. Personally i don't mind the background but that might help fill the space or something as people seem to think the background is a bit barren.

I've been toying a lot with the idea of a vinyl cutout TPU logo in the background when I get a different recording space. However it could possibly clash with having logos and other stuff appear on screen in the empty space next to me. The format could evolve into something different in the future, though. It'd look pretty slick having a TPU logo!

I love all the feedback. It helps immensely! I want to make this the best thing ever. :3 Thanks guys.

Cardboard overload.

Much better than last time. As has been mentioned, the background, you need to have images about the topics being discussed appear behind David. Get like a green screen, or just make another video and overlay david. or just have a small screen next to him. The good thing about a digital background is you can play around with colors, designs etc.

The background is a distraction. It is too dark and drowns out what is vivid news about cool new gear since it looks ominous. You need a lighter, neutral color even if it is just a much lighter shade of gray so that you, the presenter, is the focus.

It would also look better if viewers could see your desk, or if you are standing, then more of your arms. This would make the presentation appear more visually interesting instead of flat since it allows better use of body language.

I think you being off-centered is fine; this would actually allow you to add a TechPowerUp log to the top-left corner as long as it was somewhat small so that it wouldn't draw attention too much attention from you. A great example of how it could look in a similar fashion is the image in this very thread.

Your personality was an improvement as was your tone. Improvements are a process and take time. Good job.

tpu logo over your head. space next to you preserved for context related logo pop ups.
or you can give @Rezasam1 theme, ask him to make you rendered background (like this one) and add it in video during post processing
more of his work
