Heh, great idea ! A few comments/impressions: - the fast motion looks good for the actual unboxing, but it makes the act of connecting look nervous and fumbly - the looting of the box looks like a purpose in itself. It would be clearer if you'd interleave this with what the items you've removed actually do (e.g., what they are and where they connect) - the long silence at the beginning made me reach for my audio controls, turn the volume up, then resign myself to being treated to a soundless clip - the scope-with-hand made me think - "what signal is the scope showing (and why don't I see it) ?" - "he's gesturing nervously, but I can't hear his explanations" - it may also a bit intimidating that the first out of the box interaction would be the patch editor ... > The last part certainly could be much better, e.g. by replacing it > with footage of the complete setup and party. Yeah, the "show" sequence really wants a cut from about mid-point of the first "Sebastien on black and white" scene (there's a change in music at about 02:10 where the visuals almost don't change) to a couple of seconds of colorful party. Maybe have a quick party scene shot at the very beginning, before the unboxing, with people half asleep, yawning, all in sepia. Then the cool VJ comes with the M1 box, etc. The camera effect after 02:39 lacks color, too. The lack of color is a general problem with the camera input. Amplifying existing color contrast may be difficult, but how about tossing some artefacts with strong colors into the images ?
