Robert,

I'm sorry, but your logic is incorrect and so is your conclusion.  
Videos are a great sales tool. Companies use them all the time to  
introduce new products.

By the way, your comment "if you need a video to explain your  
character, maybe it's not such a great character" is mean. I know  
that you use videos to sell your puppet shows. But I would not judge  
the quality of your product based on the fact that you use a  
particular tool to sell them. And I certainly would not mention it in  
such a mean, callous way. Just listen to yourself -- if I applied the  
same comment to your work, you would be rightfully outraged.

In future, I suggest that you think twice before posting a mean  
comment. It makes people think you are a mean person. I don't assume  
that about you, in fact you are probably a very nice person, but just  
because I'm soliciting comments isn't an invitation to put down my work.

Michael
