The title page shown above seems appropriate for the final episode of the 2022-2023 season, leaving the viewer asking if the series will continue next season.

Excellent question. I didn’t notice when this started happening, but it pisses me off to no end. I was going to ask people here what they thought of it. A consultant told the social media person of magic mice productions (a grown woman who uses exclamation marks to express enthusiasm waaay too often) that would get us more viewers.

I was more than indignant I was enraged . My natural inclination is to respond that if we had cleavage shots, we would get more clicks. There were some scantily clad hotties at Taos on April 1 and it didn’t occur to me to exploit their images for this project.

I’m trying to be polite, but I’ve already spoken with the executive producer. I think he understands my rage and concern. The whole project was flawed on many levels, and this pisses me off a lot. I kept telling the first editor make them shorter, make them shorter, and sometimes he clearly did not listen.

I don’t care what the YouTube normal thing to do is. Those thumbnails will change whether the project continues next season or not. (Did you notice the stock photo of some generic skis from 1997) The thumbnail above is also not the most flattering frame of my pal Andy’s skiing. The composition is bad. Graphically bad.

I have a bunch of good footage of beautiful mountains, competent skiing, decent interviews and my sleep inducing monotone. When I’m not too busy doing other crap I’d like to edit it into something decent.

Significant other (with background in marketing and magazine editing) thinks I’m getting excessively worked up over this. I want to fix the problem, but I don’t want to come across like an asshole to people I’ve never met in the flesh (though the older I get the less concerned I am with people figuring out that I’m an asshole)

I was hesitant to comment on your work, but at least it was in the same vain as your thoughts. I can’t imagine the frustration of having another person edit it in that way. Anyways enjoyed the series as it was a different take on skiing.

The stock skiis and fanny wag turn are pretty bad. "the end" is kind of standard fare these days on you tube and actually seems to be a little tongue in cheek given the batman 'esque 'kapow' design. Perhaps unintentionally.
