My first music video at youtube. It is under my birth name instead of my artist name on the web. But I would like opinions on whatever sticks out, pro or con. https://youtu.be/xfXnpPNHtDw

I think above all you need to work on the continuity. Making the music match the video or vice versa. It was hard to see what story you were trying to convey. Here is an old video I did 5 years ago that might explain the telling a story aspect-- reflecting on going from young to old was the goal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u2TL_5Nuznk

Thanks Sue.
The only point behind the video was for learning about video and to match accompanying sounds with fall weather. My media studies teacher has told me that I jump around too much. I did a tribute to Motown as one of the assignments. I discovered in the time I was creating this video following that assignment that less can often be more. I jump ahead getting bored and think others will be. But I guess that there is interesting and then there is schizophrenic. I still have a limited inventory with videos and have started learning about cameras. I used a thousand dollar camera from the school and where I could do closeup footage. The only exception is when I was in a minivan toward the middle. My instructor wants me to get down the right ideas just using the phone camera. But I know what you mean about sequencing and saw your vids. I want to get that down pat and not get ahead of myself without boring people. So I will look at the contributions that you and the other members have to offer.
This type of medium is very engaging.

"If one man can do it, any man can do it. It is true. But the real question is, if one man did it, are you willing to do what it takes to do it as well?" –Brian Austin Whitney
