I received some Critic on CGtalk that I have to respond to explain the stupid Idea of the Donkey at the Beginning of my Video-Series. I want to add this statement to my Videos here:

If I can give some crits though : For me the beginning with the shitting donkey (with its creepy isolated wobbling head) looks a bit childish to me and would put me off watching the series personally. I also feel 90 minutes almost now with the 3 videos is far too long for an overview. I feel something like this should have a very clear plan and a good pace that gives the viewer enough information to whet their appetite but not so much that they start looking at the clock.
Sorry if that seems harsh, just trying to be honest. Time is short and we have a lot of things competing for our attention these days so I feel brevity is very desirable in something like this.

Hi Brian, Thank you for the honest Critic...actually I was waiting for getting exactly this critic. . I started this series in a Rush. I felt very emotional because of the ongoing discussions and I felt I have to take action before its to late. That was also caused because of the Fact that I will not be in my office for the next tree weeks as I will leave for vacations tomorrow. So everything was in a Hurry...but I guess that was not the best decision.
The Donkey....yes, after watching the Video the day later I saw that this was a very childish Idea. In the moment I had that Idea I did not think a lot. I just wanted to fill the Sceen with something while I was talking. This was the first Idea I had when browsing the Contentbrowser. Actually I had a better Idea which was just to much work to realize. But that would have been better:
An Autodeskdonkey who eats Softimage which sits on a scale. On the other end of the Scale is a mechanism connected which would cause a huge weight to fall on the Donekey´s head. So you could see the Donkey is eating without thinking about it causing his own damage.
To late...tomorrow I leave with my family....I hope when I come back I will be able to make something more prepared. But please focus more on the content of my Videos than on the presentation (which is horrible I know that).
cheers, Holger
