I have mixed feelings.
I'll tune in next week to see if things have changed.

The plan is for multiple releases per week. At this point, it is twice a week. :)

Hm. I think I've seen Zadi/this before, or at least something very similar (though y'know, I think it might've been a little less specific in its content...)
I think I actually like it... I'm not keen on the random jump cuts all over the place, but the content seems like it could be interesting. Zadi's occasionally borderline cringeworthy sometimes, but not so much I've quit watching before the end. I'll probably watch a couple more as they come out to work out whether I like it or not.

First, I'd like to say I don't know a damn thing about video editing. Now, keep that in the back of your head for a sec...
Whats up with the whacky editing of the show? It seems like it was all pieced together as if she said a ton of things out of sequence and then all mashed together with a huge ZOOM!
As I said, I don't know a damn thing about video editing. HOWEVER, the fact that I know nothing and even noticed this is a red flag. If a person that knows nothing nor has an interest in editing has a complaint about how it was edited- you should listen.
Other then that, nice work! Welcome to Rev3. :)

I like the editing. This show format and this girl are familiar, when I downloaded Miro I saw her on something. Not bad, I will be watching and I like the length.
