Here's are the problems with the MarbleHornets/Slender Man videos, as I see it.

Firstly, we should have tons of videos of our protagonist watching - and editing - videos, as apparently that's all he does all day.
Secondly, the videos are - as I said - clearly edited. I mean, he puts in text cards, etc. That takes time. Sometimes, he cuts out the important bits from longer videos and uploads those bits only. So there's editing going on. But it's being presented all wrong. He should be doing voice over, not text cards. And if he's going to edit the videos for our consumption, he should go all out. Slow the footage down during important parts. Circle or highlight certain interesting or important bits.
Lastly, NARRATE! He's driving to go meet up with Alex? We know this because he made a recording, then went back to his computer, opened up his video in Premiere, and then added a card saying "Driving to go meet up with Alex". What an absurd waste of time. How about, while you're driving, you say "I'm driving to go meet up with Alex." ???
Nope, not gonna work. I need a complete script re-write. And I want it on my desk by Monday!
