Need opinion on my latest video project (2)

[EclipseCinematics]

Looking for constructive critique on my short video:



Comments are welcome in the replies section of this thread

Did you really make this? That was one of the most professional videos I have seen here on mc-market! How long time did you use?

Overall, the effort and passion displayed in this video is exceptional. This piece is of very high quality with very relevant imagery and sound effects throughout. I have a fair amount of notes / suggestions. I was trying to be as attentive as I could be to mirror the effort and attention you have spent on this so I have combed through it and made notes. I hope this helps your project...

0:12 Enable antialisaing on year countdown text (ie smooth the font a bit)
0:49 consider adding a sound effect like a "woosh... woosh... woosh" like youd get with a wind turbine or something. Obviously make this go in time with the shadow on the earth
1:18 the fire sound has its volume ramped down too fast imo
1:24 consider getting a deeper / boomier thunder sound for all flashes of lightnign in this section
1:43 this is very hard on the eyes, consider some form of motion blur or brightness stabalisation
2:10 consider adding a cracking ice sound effect here
2:15 this is very hard on the eyes, consider some form of motion blur or brightness stabalisation
2:23 deffo could do with some blurring on this, is this sped up it seems to be jumping frames (ie its not a consistent frame rate)
2:30 the sound effect sounds like its from a garden, these birds would be squarking not tweeting. Suggest finding a seagull noise
2:50 print the quote on screen as its spoken "If we don't protect nature, we can't protect ourselves"
2:55 I really like this effect with the overlay of the people
3:00 swap woman overlay out with the boy before the volcanic eruption scene
3:16 enable thunderclap.exe here imo
3:23 feels like the voiceover ends suddenly with no conclusion, what is the call to action of this video?
3:36 you spelt details incorrectly here. Also did you mean copyright?

Again, I feel like your video was of extremely high standards and I thoroughly enjoyed watching your work. May I ask what context this video is in. IE is this for a project as part of your studies or is this part of a deep passion for climate change awareness?

Hello, Your Suggestions are greatly appreciated, And id be sure to encorporete them!

To answer your questions, the video was simply to add to my editorial portfolio, not really primarilly aimed to raise awareness, however that would be a nice "Side Effect" of the publication of the vid. Im not really a tree hugger xD. It's simply aimed for my future employers, and collages who whish to see my work professionaly. I'd consider uploading it to media to raise awareness tho[DOUBLEPOST=1564346887][/DOUBLEPOST]

Yeah i made it completely myself, Ill show you the Adobe Premier Pro timeline if you like Took me about 5 days to make, i have terrible PC specs (I edit on a laptop) So rendering and getting the right settings took the most time

Glad I could help

Yeah this definitely needs a call to action if your using this for a professional portfolio piece. Now you've got your viewers hooked you need to reel them in with some form of get involved or donate message. This doesn't have to be to a real organisation, you can make it up for the purposes of this!

When you focus so hard on getting something right sometimes you can overlook spelling because you know what you wanted it to say so you assume it says it!.. atleast in my experience anyway

May i ask of interest what your faveroute part of the vid was?

Definitely the overlay of the people at approx 2:50. It really gave the video a more personal feel that you can relate to more than other shots, hard to explain really but I hope you get me
