Congratulations on your first video shoot. I was impressed with the vision behind the clip ... you could tell someone with a trained eye in photojournalism was responsible for the work. I look forward to seeing more. :-)
Thanks. I'm disappointed with myself, but I learned a lot. I'll commit to post links for (multi-cut) videos I make.
I still plan to post a photo or story per day, but I hope to soon have a video per week.
