Mahalo Daily! And so it begins.
After months of preparation (it takes longer than you would think to get something like this off the ground, believe me) the first episode of Mahalo Daily is up and running! It’s a trailer for the show (coming Nov. 5th!) and we put a lot of effort into it.
It’s a take on the video podcasts and memes that I love, and I hope you enjoy it.

First, it was fantastic! After patiently (not really) waiting for this, I was not disappointed. It was funny, smart, and exactly where you should be. I loved it, and will wait till the 5th for another great installment.
Second, why on earth these “people” feel the need to put you or Mahalo Daily down is completely beyond my understanding.
V keep up the awesome work!! -

honestly, mahalo needs some production help.
consider investing in some lights (and maybe someone who has taken at least one college-level class in lighting?), a camera operator who can properly set iris levels, and for the love of god, use someone competent in aftereffects if you ever try another green screen key.
on-screen talent is not synonymous with production talent, and it’s honestly a little embarrassing on mahalo’s part that they think this looks good.
sure, you can write it off and say 90% of youtube looks like this. for videos of people who don’t do this for a living, that’s completely acceptable. but for a well-backed internet startup, this looks like you’re running your operation out of somebody’s dad’s garage.
you’re intelligent, talented, and beautiful but that doesn’t mean you have to do everything, or that you have to be good at everything.
just two cents from someone who’s not too busy drooling all over your shoes to give you the straight truth.

yo, kit…..
personally, i’m more likely to pay attention to a vid’s content if it’s *not* highly “produced”. many of us are immune and even annoyed by big money production (hollywood). i’m not putting down lighting or camera talent, but i love to see content that’s good without needing it to get attention.

What is it with the haters? I guess you will always have those who like to attempt to deflate.
Veronica, as a long-time BOL listener, I will say that you are at your most entertaining when you do NOT have a script, but are just entirely conversational. Hopefully, you will be able to incorporate some of that aspect of your personality into the new show. Difficult, I know, with a short format and things you need to get in.

@dillweed:
i appreciate where you’re coming from, and i’m definitely not suggesting mahalo should be producing a high-budget motion picture on film stock, but there is certainly a middle ground. this came out looking decidedly home video.
understand, this is what i do for a living. mahalo obviously invested in a good designer for their logo and brand, and the we can all agree they pulled a high-profile, up-and-coming video blogger that resonates with their target demographic. the fact that they decided to ignore the prospect of hiring someone equally competent on the technical production side is inexcusable, in my opinion.

WOW! – loved it!!
I was listening to BOL on my iPod in my car when driving to work this morning (morning here in Denmark) and what do you know – a familiar voice sudddenly pop’s in with the show announcement, just as I was arriving at the office.
I rushed right in, turned on my computer and went straight to your blog to see this – I haven’t even had my morning coffee yet!! (it’s 7:30 AM here)
Can’t wait until the 5th, you are the best and I’m sure this is going to be a big hit.
All the best
