The Poetry Behind the Cast ... lovely - it would make a nice title.

The music choice is very good. A little piano jazz works well. I like that its very much in the background. I am an Neanderthal and would have made it louder. I still think you need to pause, let the music drift by, while the story stops to take a moment, look about, stare into the distance and then resume the narration. It will give the video time to breathe and give the impression of size, scale and depth.

What a great little documentary. Thank you.

@@Wheretheriverbends I have already watched Up the Missouri and will be watching the others soon. Really well done.

Have you tried adding atmospheric sounds? Environmental stuff to make it more immersive: birds, running water, buzzing bees. Just barely audible. That would improve the video. Its not cheesy. It is (in my not terribly humble opinion) needed. All the best (as ever your pontifical supporter, you do you, ignore my pompous prattling). Oh and again the ending is excellent. Full of charm and character and humour. The video should have opened that way too.

I’ve thought about adding other sound to the videos but haven’t decided to go there yet.

AI images?

[@Wheretheriverbends]

Some of them yes. Not all.

[@gsflycaddis]

😂 No wonder that brown trout has rainbow trout cheek. But still a very poetic video. Thank you for sharing.

Why the crappy AI images?

[@Wheretheriverbends]

Some things I can’t source legally so I use ai to fill that void. Admittedly some of the images aren’t very good and I’m looking into upgrading to a better program. And I’m pretty new at doing this kind of thing still lots to learn on the video production side of it.
