Great vid Preelude and nice of you to share.
All I have to say for the ones that are criticizing the work/production/content...why not skip and move to something else?
The saying goes, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Peace from Canada ; )

Sorry for the harsh comments. I guess there is an audience for this type of video.

Wow, tough crowd. Before I posted it I gave it some serious thought about how rennlist would take it and whether I should post it here... and boom there it is lol. It's so difficult to find quality content on the 997 platform, I think Prabhul did an amazing job, the point of the series is that its a story about that particular car and owner, not about the 997 in general. 2 minute video telling a story? If you have a tough time watching a video that's over 2 minutes, perhaps A.D.D. medication is in order...
I guess everyone can go back to discussing IMS issues, bore scoring, and which battery tender works best...

I loved the video, watched the whole thing, your car has been an inspiration to me, been following your IG for a while

I’ve followed @911obsessed on IG for a while and his display of a clean build with the perfect stance really initiated my search, which led to a purchase this year. Nice to hear the voice behind the IG handle and to see some rolling shots. There isn’t too much content now a days, besides car dealers giving their review on a car they’re trying to sell.

I’ve also seen the OP’s car on IG and have enjoyed his posts until my account got hacked 😡, but that’s another story. He’s taken a base .2 and made it look amazing. The only thing I noticed in the video that was a little distracting was the interviewer’s cool looking GT3 RS next to it. Made me want to hear about that car instead. Lol.

Video is well done! Props to your friend!
There’s nothing wrong with long content. However, those who are saying they’d prefer short are not wrong either. The reason why youtube is pushing shorts, Tik Tok is succeeding and IG is pushing reels is simple. People are busy. With everyone and their uncle running around with a camera, there’s millions of videos being uploaded to the internet every day.
If this is news to you, you haven’t been paying attention. I’ve been doing journalism for almost 10 years now and when I started, the talk was how writing is dying out, people only cared about photos. Now the talk is people only care about videos. Does that mean there’s not a time and place for a 20 minute video or 3,000 word written feature? Absolutely not. There is definitely a market for it. But that market is getting smaller every day and the platform your friend is publishing on has outright said they are pushing for short-form content. So this of course will affect how well his 20-minute video is distributed and how well it is received.
Compared to his other videos, it looks like it’s doing well. But I would argue that’s largely because of this forum. I’ve only had one video really blow up. It was an RWB video with 110k views or so. The main reason why it spiked is 1. The content was good and it was well made, and 2. An external site shared it. (Fastest Car I think it was?)
External shares bump it up in line for distribution.
Anyway all that to say. Great video, but consider also making a shorter version for the swathes of ADHD viewers. Keep in mind most people on youtube are college age and below. The rest of us are too old and busy.

Nicely done, preelude. Ignore the negativity and don't let it dampen your enthusiasm. 
Thank you

I've always enjoyed the "media" sections of car forums and digging through other peoples builds, I guess I wish RL had a bit more enthusiasm and everyone was more inclined to share their cars, photos and how they use them...
Thanks again for the detailed response and feedback

Thanks for posting this video! Sure the longer format takes a bit more time investment but it’s a creative endeavor regarding a subject we all love. Way better than reading yet another angry, senile weirdly obsessed comment about bore scoring/bore scopes .
