This has been said a million times already, but your channel is criminally underrated. Your content writing is phenomenal, your editing is on point, and the overall production quality is amazing. That aside, I do have a little bit of constructive feedback I'd like to offer. Your audio is clear and crisp and more than enough to understand what's going on, but it is a little lacking in depth and it can sound flat especially at first. This might be because you're too far from the mic, using too much noise reduction, or you just have a bad mic. The audio also shifts quite a bit when going from voice-over to your A-roll which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it's quite jarring. Your camera abilities are also phenomenal but it is slightly held back by your hardware which I get isn't the easiest to solve when you're on a budget. There is one easy thing you can do to improve the quality of your shots and that is to get some better lighting. Lighting is so often overlooked but it can improve video quality so much. Even just a few mini light panels scattered across the room can work wonders. Finally, during the B-roll, you can probably crop in a little more and increase stabilization just a little bit to where the swaying isn't as noticeable. You're probably concerned about the resolution but after going through KZbin's compression, the difference in resolution isn't that noticeable. Those are some of my filmmaker nitpicks but what you're producing already is beyond amazing and is hands down one of the best channels I've seen in a while. Can't wait to see this channel grow and get the recognition it deserves!

Love the tips! Thanks for the advice, audio has definitely been a weak point so hearing your feedback on things has been amazingly helpful!

Thank you Tyler!!

Didn't the District of Columbia used to have territory on the south side of the Potomac at one time? Land that was eventually returned to Virginia?

[@curtisthomas2670]

Yes it did

[@studio.leonardo]

You are correct! It used to encompass Alexandria making it a complete square. But it was “retroceded” back to Virginia in 1850 and why the border is cut off by the Potomac today!
