Clarification

Thanks for the comments regarding the obfuscation of brand names in the video I’m currently working on. Here’s my thinking behind it.
First, although it doesn’t happen often, I do sometimes get feedback that I’m “pushing” a particular brand or vendor in a video. So I took some inspiration from my favorite “instructional” show, Food TV’s “Good Eats” (I think Alton Brown is terrific!), and “Greeked” the brand names.
On the other hand, I plan to add a short comment at the end of the video directing viewers to this blog for a lot more information. I’ll have a special “landing page” set up just for that video with relevant links for the major portions of the video (I may also put some key brand names as keywords in the video; haven’t decided that yet). It also gives me a chance to “monetize” the video without having to lose control of the process (in other words, ads that I select may appear in the blog page instead of ads that I may have little or no control over appearing on the video).
I think this will be my most “professional-looking” video yet and I want the ability for it to not only look good by itself but also have it be a “springboard” for all sorts of information–and possibly advertising–too.
Bear in mind this is in the nature of an experiment. If it falls flat I’ll just go back to what I was doing, only with a more polished look.
