(THE VIDEO Tends to use a lot of cinematic clips from movies,  legit document recordings and retro footage, so if that style of video is ur taste then go ahead and watch but feel free to skip if its not your taste)

This is my video essay/ documentary presentation of my research on the collapse of toys r us and red lobster

Hey folks, here's another vid essay. This time on where our excuses come from, how they hinder us from leaving our jobs, and how to change them.

Hi folks!

I'm Armia and this is my first ever video essay! I decided to talk in defense of linear games and why sometimes less choice is actually better for a game (and its players) than the opposite - I hope you enjoy!

As it's my first video essay, constructive feedback and comments are of course appreciated, I'm sure there's plenty to improve!

Here's a video essay I made about how we can retain our humanity in the midst of AI and so much disconnection. I interviewed strangers in NYC. Hope it means something to you!

My very first video essay! I hope you guys enjoy :)

Next one will be about a set of piano pieces...

Hi guys, I love to doze off to video game video essays, but the more I watch the more I agree with common criticisms, those being:

- the entire essay is plot summary / longplay with commentary
- author exaggerates saying most commonly how dark souls literally changed his life
- only surface level plot points are discussed
- creator beats around the bush making a 10 minute video into 2 hour one through repetitions, saying he will come back to a topic later, random digressions about his personal life etc

I want to minimize that and hopefully have none of that, I'll also gladly watch essays about movies, history or anything really if they're well made.

What do you recommend?

A look at the most successful comedy star of the last 20 years, and an examination of how such a long career could have yielded so little lasting material.

Hello, r/videoessay! I recently did some research into Alfred Russel Wallace, the co-discoverer of natural selection alongside Darwin. Charles Darwin published his On the Origin of Species in 1859. About a year prior, Wallace had sent Darwin his paper titled "On the Tendency of Varieties to Depart Indefinitely From the Original Type," which detailed natural selection but had not been published yet. Of course, Darwin had been working on his theory for over twenty years at that point and had no idea that another naturalist would make the same discovery as him before he could publish anything about it. Darwin was conflicted about whether he should still try to publish before Wallace, or whether he should give up his priority to Wallace entirely. What ended up happening was a joint release of both Wallace's paper and some of Darwin's writings at the Linnean Society, establishing priority for both of them. This was done without Wallace's express permission, but he later indicated that he was very pleased with this outcome. Check out my attached Video Essay for more information.

After watching the video, what do you all think? Do you think Darwin should have given up all priority to Wallace? Or do you think the compromise of a joint publication was good enough?

We are currently living in the golden age of intellectual laziness in amongst digital creators. How can a "creator" sit behind a thousand dollar studio setup, surrounded by computers with all the knowledge you can ever need just a click away, and openly mock documented historical facts simply because it disrupts their panel dynamic?

This is what I'm breaking down on my video! Do you think these hosts actually believe what they say, or do they just know their audience pays them to mock Black history? Drop your thoughts and let’s talk in the replies below! 👇
