Editing The Pen Addict 367/transcript (section)

== Content Quality and Depth ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, and I think that's one of the great things about your content. And we'll talk about some specific videos before is you go above and beyond like the review specs. You know, you really do a great job of explaining either the story, if it's a pen like the Apollo 11 or the construction process, if it's, you know, an Arushi pen, you know, you definitely go into detail. I've noticed that in the videos that I've watched, like how good of a job you do with that. And I'm thinking about that five to seven hours time frame. Number one, that sounds short to me. And like getting one of those a week is an impressive task because, you know, you have a job, you have a family, you have other hobbies, assumedly. That's a lot. Like what that's a that's a great commitment to to putting out these videos. And just as a community member who enjoys this content, thank you for doing that. That's that's a lot of work. It's no joke.

'''David Parker:''' Yeah. I mean, it's like a little part time job. Yeah. You know, but when I whenever I'm doing the reviews, I almost I kind of think what information. What information would I be curious about? Usually it's like, you know, OK, I'm fascinated by where the company names come from. You know, why is this company named this or why is this pen named this? Things like that I find fascinating. And and a lot of times you don't find information like that. But things like that are interesting. Whenever I do an ink review, I, you know, I wanted to do something a little different. And so whenever I do an ink review, I actually tie it into a movie so that then I can it actually gives me some material that I use in for the writing sample. I'll like write about the film and kind of do a little mini. I would say a film review, but just discuss a film. So, like, for example, coming up here soon, I'm going to be posting an ink review on the Blackstone Wild Orange. It's like a scented orange ink. And Blackstone is an Australian company. So I'll be talking about one of my Australian films that I enjoy, you know, and that I enjoy talking about my film. And kind of my goal is to add a little something entertaining that isn't necessarily fountain pen or stationary related. So, OK, Brad, what's your favorite Australian film? Go.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.

'''David Parker:''' That was very high on my list.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' That is a very easy answer for me. It's one of my all time favorite movies.

'''David Parker:''' If I was going to be doing this review during Pride Month, I think I would have done that. But since it's going to be in July, that was my number two choice. I thought about like Walkabout, even Mad Max. But there is a film that came out in 1991 that I really enjoyed that's called Flirting.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' OK, I don't know that one.

'''David Parker:''' It has a great cast. A number of actors in their teens that have really gone on to do some great things. Like it was Nicole Kidman, Noah Taylor, a number of other folks and a very good cast and kind of about a girls and boys school that are next to each other. And a white boy and a girl from Africa who kind of fall in love. And so it's kind of about teen love, but then also a lot of race relations and things like that. It's just a very good film that I enjoy.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I love it. I love it. So I'll have to be sure and watch that. Like when the video comes out, I'm sure I'll watch it and, you know, just be anxious to go watch the movie. So, yeah, that's perfect.
