March 4, 2016You did ask for feedback… 🙂 I would never ever ever put I up a portrait-mode video. I know it will be tough to try to capture the flavor of your blog on video, but please try for us!

March 4, 2016I don’t know whether you’re an Apple gal or an Android lady, but there are some great video editing apps too. I swap between iMovie and Pinnacle Pro, depending upon I how much massaging of sound I need to do. Can’t say I’m a huge fan of the old timey video, but I did like the one for The Rail. I’ve been to Great Northern mall many times, but have never eaten at that place. Based on what you thought, I think I will skip it. I would probably slow down the jump cuts.. Give us a few seconds to process the images. If you want to keep the motion, try doing slow wipes or flyins. That way, we can still see the pictures and read the text without feeling like we’re trying to play catch up.
If you want feedback on any others without posting them for all to see, shoot me an email and I’ll be happy to offer my two cents.
