While the titles are fun, the majority of the titles seemed unnecessary, The lighting is even and the close up shots work well throughout the video. Overall great demonstration!
- 3/12 11:00 am - Nice, clear voice of narrator. Music could be a bit louder. Pretty bare-bones, which is okay. To take it further, you might consider fancier graphics, more personal touches from the narrator or shots of more than just the process. Maybe try to hook your audience into wanting to make the candy, or show people enjoying it. Some lighting issues. Process seemed well detailed.

- 3/8 2:29 pm - what works: nice original idea; clear instructions with well-recorded voice over and nice mix of music subtly under. nice use of focus to direct attention; good close up detail shots. what could make it better: tripod for steadier shots, particularly in opening; show/list all ingredients and equipment needed; frame action clearly, such as when adding color and flavoring; feels like it ends abruptly and feels short overall; maybe add some possible variations.
- 3/7 9:39 pm - The demonstration show was very thorough especially considering the short length of the piece. I didn't feel as though anything was missing. The camera work was very good. Shots were varied and clearly demonstrated each step. The lighting was even and showcased each step in an attractive manner. The rack focus going up the candy thermometer was a nice touch. The title graphics were distracting and I'm not sure if they were necessary, or, at least, I don't think you needed as many titles as you did. Because your shots were mostly in close up, the titles covered a lot of the shot and it kept me from clearly viewing the process. Also some of your titles were not on screen long enough to be read. They came in at too frenetic of a pace. Again, I think they could have been reduced and moved around each shot to give them a less intrusive placement. Your music was a bit low in the mix and your voice over had a lot of background noise present. Try to do your best to get your voice over done in a quiet space so that your viewers aren't distracted by background noise.
