Uncle Phil Now has a YouTube Channel dedicated to BGE and the food I cook.

Uncle Phil

Hi all: It is hard to believe that I have been a BGE user since 2005. I still have the same Large Egg. Well, I decided to put my on-camera talent and video editing capabilities to good use and create my own YouTube channel. I have finished my first video about doing delicious BBQ ribs on the egg, and I could use your help. I need to get some likes and subscriptions to my channel, so if you all could invest a moment to view the first video in brilliant 4K, I would greatly appreciate it. The vid took 8 hours to shoot and over 20 hours to edit, but it was all done with love; the results speak for themselves! Here is the lnk.
Thanks, Uncle Phil

Sweet Jesus this is a ventriloquist act. No. So much no. 

Ozzie_Isaac

Pretty high quality production, especially for this being your first video.

Since you posted here, I will provide what I hope is seen as constructive feedback:

1.  The ventriloquist act was funny, and I loved his hat, but it took away from the actual content.  Since 'Dude' never came back, maybe you thought the same?

2. The cuts between scenes were well done and made a clean professional presentation.

3.  Ribs looked good, gave a lot of good information.

4. Don't pour the grease from foil down the drain.  You will have problems in the future.

5.  Introducing your secret sauce and saying how great it is, then saying you won't share is very off-putting.  You are a content creator and an educator.

Maybe say it has this basic base and this is why it pairs well with ribs, or give a slightly different recipe that hits the high points but not all the details.  Does it help the ribs because it is tomatoe based, vinegar based, sweet, spicy, etc?  Why is this the sauce for ribs .... Or just say, "Pair it with your favorite sauce, here is my homemade one I enjoy".

Overall, I say stick with you, looks like you have a great start and your kitchen indoor and outdoor is beautiful.

My earlier snark aside, This was, in fact, the worst part of it.  The whole reason anyone would ever sit through this would be to get your secret tips and tricks. You gave everyone the cringe and kept your “secret” to yourself. Just lie to them and give them something but this part was not good.

I wasn't trying to be tough or disrespectful.  Clealy a lot of work went in and the end product shows.  I was hoping to offer immediate and candid feedback.  Would love to see him become successful, similar to what @nousername had done.

You should replace the ventriloquist with an animated sugar glider.  This guy is a good example, he has a funny fish:  https://youtu.be/CZNEQFp9FYw

Maybe make a special episode about secret pizza dough recipe?

Nice video, I’d be curious to know about the tools that you used for the video editing.

HeavyG

My takeaway - @3:00 minute mark, you really need to sharpen your knife.

You might want to check out some of "Dark Side of the Grill" videos, just for style pointers.  He's managed to build up a pretty loyal following.  Here's an example:

IIRC I may have met him at one of the eggfests here.
What's with canucks making a killing/living on ewetube? This guy, Sam the cooking guy, and our resident expert @???username

He looks like the missing Gemstone brother.

He gets that booger-hook in his mouth any deeper and I am going to gag.  Not a flattering image.

You think he peaced out?

Canugghead

Perhaps he took the forum's collective wisdom and is busy back at the drawing board? remember this ...The vid took 8 hours to shoot and over 20 hours to edit

Legume

We're not the right audience for a video on how to cook ribs, most everyone knows multiple ways that are on here. This is for youtube where the right audience exists for basic rib cook info.

I did do a little research because I was curious about one thing and the research bore that out.

Maybe? ^^

I disagree @Legume (except about how many people like ventriloquists... that bit is spot on). Only clowns are more scary than ventriloquist dummies.

My read was that OP is seeking comments/opinions about the video itself, not necessarily about the subject of the video. There are scads of "how to smoke/grill/bbq ribs" videos, all with who knows how many views. And counting. 

IMO, nixing the ventriloquism bit would be a vast improvement.

The Venn diagram does look professionally administered!

My join date reads like that. It used to be blank.  I thought the reason for that was my profile was migrated from the old forum....?  

paqman

Yep, I think the account was migrated

Good luck, do whatever style of video is fun, rewarding and true to yourself.  Any changes you make outside of that in order to chase the satisfaction of others is eventually at your own expense.

NDG

LOL - I’m not sure what is going on, but a few good laughs along the way.

Good luck with the channel
