Lightning Round 10-19-09
The illustrated version of The Lightning Round from the 10-19-09 Fred Thompson Show:
By the way, I could use some feedback.
I know that some of the more “cluttered” pictures I use aren’t up long enough to be completely digested. They’re kind of a blur, and details get missed. Does this subtract from the experience, or is it just part of the “zippy stream-of-consciousness fun”?
As the creator, I’m too familiar with the images to have a true feel for how they hit a first-time viewer.

A: it is just part of the “zippy stream-of-consciousness fun.”

I think it’s freakin’ hilarious, sometimes because they go by so fast. And hey, there’s always the rewind function.

I agree with Deafdog.

I think the stream of consciousness is really good. You get the reinforcement of the main idea. Great work

They’re so good, Harvey (just the way they are) that I keep expecting them on Fred’s site, as well. You two really should strike a deal.

Faster! Hold on one image more than half a second, and my attention starts to wander.
October 20th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
Love.

Not to be so agreeable, because it’s not my style, but….. Yeah, I think it’s good as-is.

I watch it straight through, then watch it again with my cursor on the pause button so I can stop and enjoy the details.

I disagree with Frank. Not everyone is as fast and clever, so I don’t think you should speed it up.
The 2nd half was my favorite.

Pretty funny…4 out of 5!

Verily, verily I was amused. I rather like the speed. I can always go back if needed.

Oh no, Harvey’s now calling himself “The Creator”. Must everyone try to pass himself off as some sort of supreme being these days?

nice, nice…… doing a great JOB keep it up

I like them a lot, but I do sometimes feel that the images go by too quickly to really see them. I might be in favor of slowing some of them down a bit.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:20 am
love the illustrated version of the Lighting Round keepem coming…..

I agree with the stream of consciousness fun, Don’t slow it down, it’s funnier when there’s so much we’re forced to hit pause.
October 22nd, 2009 at 3:34 pm
Mouse poised over the pause button and ready to enjoy!

I love it just as it is. This is so awesome you should receive a Nobel prize for awesome. Wait, the prize for awesomeness has already been awarded. Will have to find another, equally awesome category for you to be awarded the Nobel prize in.

I say use fewer pictures—–if it’s too many, too fast, I end up having to pause it & go back over them—–my feedback is you don’t have to illustrate *every* word—-just use the best pics—–
