WSanford: Not sure why you think your comments are “Artsy Fartsy?” Seems to me like they’re right on with regard to what makes the difference between “o.k.” video and excellent video. As we all know, anyone can set up a camera on a tripod these days and turn it on. It’s understanding and paying attention to the details that you speak to of lighting, shot choice and composition that makes the work outstanding.
I think for a first effort Luke has done well, but would be well advised to study both the VM material, which is excellent, and interviews on TV to see how they’re framed, lit and how the audio is produced.
