    As someone who spent years in broadcast TV, I was recently appreciating how it was clear that you were shooting on one camera, but taking the time to shoot and edit as if it was a multi-camera studio. I loved the, "news caster looks from Camera 1 to Camera 2" shot a few weeks ago. Great stuff, Crafsman.

    Visuals are nice, but silky smooth audio is probably one of the most important things when making a video.
    If your audio sounds bad, people won't want to watch.
    If your audio is amazing, people are more likely to watch through bad visuals.

    I know it's not super helpful from a criticism standpoint, but I'm fairly certain I will love ANY kind of video you make. No joke, no exaggeration. I did really love this video though.
