... DV voice being about the worse of it all, like I said, making it feel like something belonging on youtube and not in my DVD player.

 

That's rather positive actually. That means professional stuff is not something meant to be found for free at each street's corner. Some guys still need their work (in this area) to make a living.

You're maybe too used to the easyness of clicking your mouse and see the whole good stuff follow (with a little exageration... So few). ;)

I think, but am not sure, that I know where you are trying to go with that. But my point was that it feels like something thrown together by a thirteen year old in windows media player and tossed up on youtube. It feel shoddily done. Not good at all. Painful on the ears. Etc. I think TMBTM could have done better with that bit (yes, I have seen some of his other work). IMHO (which doesn't matter,  his edit) when it turn out that badly, he would have been good to try something else. And interesting idea that came to my mind when watching his edit would have been to use the DV voice from the radio drama, just to make it different.

I was not trying to say that youtube is not a ligitmate means of releasing quality original material. I think some pretty impressive stuff comes from non-professionals on the internet. But youtube is also the place where any idiot with a webcam or windows media player can suddenly find themselves video blogging mundanity or throwing together poorly done music videos or gag clips. In fact, I am pretty sure I have seen many of those JEJ lines dubbed over DV before in much the same manner TMBTM did for his edit, which makes it even less original and more of a poor idea. Again, IMHO.
