Pretty faces video

After seeing this (Warning: pathologically obese and deformed people in this video.)

I decided that I could do the "yin" version of that. So I made this video of pretty faces from Domai.
... Which I hope will spread a little beauty, and perhaps even help promote Domai. (It would be nice if it got a bit of viral status.)

BTW, does anybody know how youtube selects the poster frame for a video? I thought it was in the middle, but this one is around 1.20, which seems random in a 3.50 video.

I don't know how the banner is selected, but I am sure this is not random. Too many videos have a very specific, totally out of context frame used as a banner to lure viewers...

Just realized I forgot to say I liked the video... (:) Especially after the trauma of having a peek at the other one!

I was being disappointed, until the very last picture (dear Natalie).

What can one say about the first "video" though? Nothing I think. As my mother once said, if you can't say anything nice than say nothing at all (grin)..

some music would make it better

Anon: but there is music! Maybe you had youtube sound turned all the way down?

The thumbnail used to come from the middle of the video, but now YouTube is offering me a choice of three thumbnails.

Go to My Videos in your YouTube account, then click the "Edit" button for your video. I get a choice of three thumbnails, which look as if they're from the 25%, 50% and 75% marks.

Good music choice, by the way: Boom Boom Ba by Metisse, used very effectively in Dead Like Me.

Yes, that's where I found it. It's great.

Really nice vid, Eo. I especially enjoyed that song. All was a very nice *counter* to the other SAD video. I don't *get* that fetish of some men and...I often think that the women must be *hiding* a LOT of PAIN under ALL...*that*. Very sad that they are made out to be freaks, instead of getting help w/their seeming(?) food addiction and extreme lack of self-image and personal degradation. Who, really, are they kidding but themselves. Their smiles are difficult to look at... :-(

Hi Eolake,

Very nice video - already posted a link in my last Domai gallery. Just missed the beautiful Misa... maybe on your next video?
