Awesome video, makes me want to check out Wichita.

I like the video and Home is one of my favorite songs right now, however having been a resident of Wichita, I feel that the people are the most important part. They are the hospitality, home town feel and welcoming spirit of the city. This video doesn't show any of the people or fun events that the city should be known for. Also, I'm not so sure I am proud of our banking industry, showing a couple of pictures of banks doesn't make me proud of Wichita. Well done keyframing and timing!
