archived-videos First doc

[Swink]

Last week I posted a music video I did. I actually did this doc first. It just went up today. I was a bit rushed because I noticed the contest rather late. I wish I hadn't had to use so many stills, but I didn't have enough footage to go with the narration I'd written.

It's not your conventional documentary (if it's a documentary at all), more of a video essay.

Thanks for checking it out and sharing thoughts.

Cheers

I would've wanted less stills as well but it was still nice. I liked it. It kept me interested.

Perhaps a tripod for some of the panning shots? And the only thing that distracted me from the video was your shot of the books. Too fast imho.

But it was a nice job! Goodluck with it!

Thanks. That didn't occur to me about the shot of the books. I'll keep that in mind next time I'm setting up a similar shot.
