Episode 2!

Welcome to episode 2. In this installment, we get down to business building the basic trebuchet frame. We spend a lot of time measuring stuff, and discover that we’re easily fooled by a tape measure.

If you are new to the site and haven’t watched episode 1 yet, please scroll down the page or click “Season 1 – The Trebuchet” under Site Navigation at the top right. There you’ll find all the episodes from season one.

NOTE: For those of you subscribed to the iTunes feed, episode 2 will be automatically delivered to you in a few hours. Sorry for the delay.

    Very entertaining…

    But some critical thoughts..

    You need to work on your audio quality. Perhaps better mics; or speaking up more on long shots.

    Watch your own video productions and decide on a kind of character/role you want to play. Straight man–funny man?

    Fill the actions with as much humour as you can. Take advantate of everying–the tenths of inches–to make jokes or ironic comments.

    At the end of each video, I should feel informed about the trebuchet and also feel entertained by the two characters on screen.

    I’m an unemployed boom mic operator looking for work. :)

    This didn’t have the ‘hook’ the first episode had a la “Good Start”.

    Looks like Binglydoop sees these two guys as actors and this was a badly scripted event.

    At the end I felt a little more informed as the A-Frame came together. The tape measure thing was funny though, “The one foot mark is approximately the same”. I wonder at what point in time we decided to add 2 more inches to make a foot. :)

    “What the hell kind of inches are these?!”

    …classic.
