Awesome video Jake! Great subject, spot on music and editing, and even a narrative. Your videos are just getting better and better, you seem way more natural in front of the camera now too. In my opinion you and your channel have the best marine content on KZbin; up there with Rachel O'Leary and George Farmer's freshwater channels. Keep up the good work !👍
@ReefBuildersVideo7 жыл бұрын
I keep trying, it's hard to balance the content between the story telling, editing, my questions, their answers, production and everything in between - it's all about that practice and especially STRIVING to make videos that I would want to watch.
@graphite27867 жыл бұрын
Reef Builders You can see the hard work you put into your vids. Some KZbinrs make good looking videos but there's no content, lots of fluff. Others have great content but it's usually just a talking head interspersed with clips (i don't mind these if I learn something or am inspired) But your vids have yourself, scenery, interviews, music, fish/invert/tank clips, information, opinion and reviews. You edit well, you film well and you ask the right questions; i really enjoy them and never fast forward.
