Do awesome intro's excite you?

AngryBrute · January 06, 2015, 09:32:02 AM

When it comes to videos like Lets Plays that tell a story, or any other kind of vidya. Does an intro suck you in if its good enough?

I try to produce good ones, like what I did in The Forest.

well, for video games, yes

LET'S PLAY SOME FUCKING CARD GAMES

YouTube

for youtube series?... i'd rather the uploader just cut to the chase

game grumps has a five second intro

short
catchy
let's you know what you're watching
memorable

anything more than five seconds and i've lost interest

For Let's Plays?

It should be short and simple, like Normal Boots for example

Yes. A good intro can always reel people in.

Verbatim · January 06, 2015, 11:08:49 AM

in my opinion, it shouldn't "reel you in" as much as it should just set the mood

YouTube video intros should be short and sweet, and should really go no longer than a few seconds.

Ehhhh......you're right in a way.
But that mood it sets can get people interested.

They should be short, not more than a few seconds long.

True Turquoise · January 06, 2015, 11:28:36 AM

For youtubers?

no more than 10 seconds

AngryBrute · January 06, 2015, 11:58:11 AM

What about story setting intros like what I did here?

YouTube

I like the way EvilViking13 and Frankie on PC do their DayZ intros.

Girl of Mystery · January 06, 2015, 12:08:04 PM

No. Just let me watch the bloody video without dumb intros

Jono · January 06, 2015, 02:00:03 PM

Intros like this that are short and sweet are the ones I like the most.

They usually can get me hyped up.
