Almost every time that I compile and put into writing a list of my personal guidelines regarding a certain topic, I almost immediately make exceptions to those rules. I have come to accept it as inevitable since the only way for me to completely avoid the issue is to never write down any of these lists to begin with. That is just not going to happen because it is too much fun (at least right now).
In this case I have already made exceptions to the general parameters that I recently stated were my filter to choosing brewery tour videos to post here on the site. There are good reasons behind straying from the initial list a bit and maybe this will ultimately help me build a true, bulletproof list of guidelines for video selection. With a little tweaking, the videos will almost pick themselves.
Here is where I have gone slightly astray from my self-imposed rules:
- The length of this video nears eight minutes and I said previously five or six was the threshold of my attention span and what would make a video initially appealing. Varying from my rule by roughly thirty percent is quite a lot.
- The video is not at all humorous. However, I do think that it was nicely edited and produced, so that makes up for not being funny (at least a little). Having shiny copper vessels and talk of sustainable energy helps some too.
That was not so bad, was it?
Mostly I picked this video because I have a scheme to visit this brewery sometime relatively soon and I wanted to put some positive mojo out there. I have no idea if my plan will work (it sounds really good in my head), but I will let you know how it turns out regardless.
Now on to the show for today . . .
