finally NR producing proper content for KZbin, long overdue. But some tips: For the main camera, get a lower apperture (F) for the shot to create a bokeh, that looks more professional, and also watch out for the head space, it is too big in this case. also check your audio with headphones before exporting, like in 3:08 or 3:16 you got that marker sound effect only on the left side and on 3:18 the clip is completly unsynced from the original footage. The lighting is also suboptimal, but it's okay for now (like try to get so motivated lighting and also some back light and also try to go for a key light that is 45° from the face instead of full frontal) oh and the cable of the lavalier mic goes to the inside of the jacket to hide it! But as i mentioned: Great that NR is now dowing KZbin content, and awesome Buckley Poster in the background ;) If you need some tips regarding production and editing, just hit me up

I’m loving these NR videos, great job guys… good editing and production. And I love Jimmy Quin’s writing, essential work.

[@musikkimies]

I agree this is a great video. Of note, per the credits, the scripting and research were done by Caroline Downey. Is that the same thing as writing? I'm not savvy enough on these terms.

So we shouldn't order direct from China and instead buy it from a middleman here in America who gets it direct from China and give them profits. Got it. Maybe bring manufacturing back to America.

[@sameagletheregal8526]

No, we shouldn't buy Chinese garbage that supports the CCP.

[@lec7350]

Not even surprised. The super low prices were the “tell”.

[@michaelstora70]

KZbin added a Temu add to the end od thus video! LoL.

Temu ad prior to video playing.

National Review, please talk about the dictatorship of the Brazilian judiciary, which is destroying the legal process and persecuting the political opposition.

[@musikkimies]

Great video!

[@user-te5tw5yc3i]

Doesn't Apple do basically the same thing?

[@sameagletheregal8526]

EBay and Amazon are now full of low quality, low price, no name, no warranty Chinese junk.

[@kevinjenner9502]

Up until recently, half the goods imported into the US from China, were from American subsidiaries operating in China.

Temu apps sounds like google apps

I knew they had to be up to no good.

[@WhosThere26]

Wow, you look so similar to Michael Malice.

[@memenstein1754]

Why would you not explain what uyghur is?

[@bethannsmith9825]

Because Google exists? Well done on spelling it right. It will help others Google it.

[@bethannsmith9825]

Although I agree with you. A sentence would have told people what they really need to know to get the gist.

[@Daiwie44]

Good video, but you speak slowly

[@bethannsmith9825]

Yup. Pick up the pace.

[@KristopherYurkovich]

Thanks for this.

[@radfaraf]

The same stuff is on amazon because it's all cheap china products now.

[@JFMutz]

Talk faster, man. You’re not Charlie.

[@jeremyr4812]

But National Review has no problem with Walmart and Amazon and other American companies selling the literal same stuff, for several times the price, while treating their American employees like crap as well. At least when buying from Temu, you are getting your questionably sourced products direct, as opposed through an American middleman that profits more than anyone in the chain

[@mddawson1]

The way Amazon treats employees isn't much better.

[@rebeccar2777]

Nobody is forced to work for Amazon.

[@sameagletheregal8526]

What a dumb comment.

[@jeremyr4812]

@@rebeccar2777 Some people can't find jobs elsewhere. And if you don't have a job in the US, you are going to starve to death and be homeless, at least if you are a male without children
