Maybe letting people know that it’s about them not about others. This didn’t really show how to be an artist. I just realized in the description that it was written as a comedic demonstration, but I didn't hear it that way. I didn’t think it was comedic, I took it seriously, and it wasn’t until I read the description at the end. So maybe the story fell short on this viewer.
- 4/1 1:05 pm - Good directions. The music and the graphics fit very well with the vibe of the video. The b-roll in steps 1 & 2 seemed very quick. But that quick pace worked very well in step 3 when talking about the different mediums. The framing of the shots and the lighting were well done. Overall, very nice job with this demonstration video.

Positives: What is being described is well supported visually - the inclusion of a b-roll and additional shots show what the narrator is talking about and keep the video visually engaging. The titles are well done. They are well-designed and add character to the video. The titles also create a sense of structure.
Improvements: The dialogue track has a hiss throughout the entire video that takes away from what the narrator is saying. It is almost hidden by the music at points, but sticks out and could use a bit more work in post to filter out the hiss. The description of the project as comedic is confusing. The project doesn't take on a comedic tone, neither visually nor in the voiceover. The project seems to give a good overview as to how one not familiar with art could explore different mediums, but not in a comedic way.

Positives: Great start to this video. I like the introduction and the edits at the start. You bring the viewer into the video and engage them right away. Good step by step of this process, and way to layer the music so it is not overpowering.
Improvements: Watch the shadows in the video. You can use a little more lighting to help get that removed. Also, the audio changes a little during the video, around the one-minute mark. Some edits are so fast I cannot see what I was intended to see. Slow them down and show them for at least 1.5 seconds if not 2. Watch the shaky shots, they can be distracting.
