Three hours? try seven! My computer was being a jerk! Well, I guess I have to attribute some of that time to downloading the video clips. Speaking of which, with YouTube’s new algorithm this has about a 21% chance of be taken down so enjoy it well it lasts.
Well, if you don’t see it you can read about how I made it. It was based off of Bobby Burns new style of YouTube Documentary where he looks at different trends or Channels. I took that idea and started to research about Swing. I looked at Swing itself, the biggest names in Swing, and the mood it set for people of the time. Then I wrote a script and started. One of the most time consuming things was finding the right music. It had to fit the visuals on screen but doing so was no easy task. I had to do minuscule changes to the timing and the length of the audio clips.
Overall it was a lot of work, but I think it paid off in the end. It might not be good enough for tv or the higher ranking video of a YouTube but it’s good enough for me.
I like how you used mostly videos from the time era. I also liked how you had the pauses in the video. Overall I thought the video was very strong and enjoyed learning about the swing.!
