A lovely video showing the thoughts and commitment to showcasing artworks true to their spirit. However, unfortunately, otherwise another case of using an underlying music audio (that has gotten even worse over time) that too much competes with the speaking audio. When you give tours in the museum, is there someone carrying a boombox along with the guide?? How long would that fly with visitors? It's the same here, in every video one creates for the internet. Use music for introductions and endings but ONLY when NOBODY is speaking. Especially when the content is crucial to helping viewers understand the subject. Even attempting to use closed captioning, the music was still nothing more than a distortion of the speaking audio and never an accompaniment. Give this a justified think, please. The original/found boisterous border on the scroll easily represents adding music below speech that's too loud and competitive, while the 'correct' border rightly justifies the central artwork as what's most important for viewers to realize and learn more about. It's the words that are far more central to videos such as these than background music ever is. Thank you for reading.
