    Default "Unfair Obstacles" for UK Players: APCW Perspectives for 9 March, 2018

    This week we've learned that the UK's Competition and Markets Authority
    is looking at several online gambling companies over unfair practices
    involving player accounts. We also have news from Australia and Portugal,
    as well as more fallout over potential changes to fixed odds betting terminals.

    Improving ease of payouts is a great cause!

    Examine what you tolerate.

    J. Todd needs a video team to jazz up his vids a little. Nothing major, just different angles, more images, comedy, etc.

    He can ask around as get a good affordable team.

    Different angles would require multiple cameras... and a "team" would probably require a payroll.

    1) I have no money myself, and...
    2) The show is as "financed" as it will ever get.

    I also tried to get a team together once, but it was more hassle that it was worth: People drop out when it's a labor of love, especially when it's not their priority to begin with. By this point, I have gotten used to being a one-man band... lol

    To each their own - I don't need a razzle-dazzle entertainment show.
    Just gimme the facts ..


    However, I will admit that there are some tricks that could spice it up ... and some 1-man youtubers are very good.

    Check out Crypto Daily on Youtube. He's only been viding for 6 months 5-6 times a week.
    He's definitely a 1-man band but seems to work green screens and cheesy clips into a bit of info-tainment.

    I used to do green screen... For my other video projects... back when I had my own place and my own studio. And my experience has shown me that, eventually, YouTube is going to catch up to people who use copyrighted music and movie clips. Use of such material was why we had our first channel shut down.

    There is a lot I could do to improve the weekly video. However, my suggestions usually require some capital investment which the producers of the show are not willing to do. This is why APCW has not changed in many years... while my personal video projects have.

    Sure some eye candy is nice, but lets focus on what these vids are about... getting affiliates hooked up with industry news etc, and essentially what could affect their bottom line. Even if these vids were shot on a crappy cam, I'd still watch them. The news you provide J.Todd (imo) is priceless

    Great show! Good dialogue with a touch of humour goes a lot further than dumbing everything down with special effects and shaky, blurry, hand-held camera sequences IMO.

    Here is what he is doing well:
    > Eyes at top 1/3 of frame
    > Great lighting
    > Great use of image overlay onto vid
    > Ironed clothes
    > Great background
    > Great speaker
    > Knows his stuff and tells it well
    > Uses engaging body language



    I used to make vids for my church.

    LOL You forgot that I washed my hair

    Although, I am admittedly unshaven.

    Washing your hair was where you went wrong clearly

    Your vids are great the way they are J. Nothing wrong with the unshaven look
