I can see what you are trying to accomplish and you did cut down on the
length. I hate being a nudge. But you lost me. Who are you aiming this video
at? Is this is how-to video? Are you training a programmer or an artist? Are
you demonstrating the 3D printer?
You spent a third of the video flashing screens of programming code at
various stages of development. Who would be interested in seeing that? I am
a programmer and am interested in doing 3d printing but those shots were
wasted on me. If you want to do a how-to then pick out one tiny phase of
coding and walk through it step by step showing how you sketch a shape,
capture the data and convert to code. You don't have to show how every piece
are done; viewers will get the idea just watching one.
It is still way too long. You had long sequences showing dragon body
segments in various configurations. Is so much of that necessary? Most
artists would know that they must be assembled with glue. You don't need to
show more than two. Then show the total result.
Having you son pop up at the beginning is cute but distracting and adds
nothing to the video. Also I doubt that anyone is really interested in
hearing your description why you decided to build the model. Each viewer
would have his own reasons and needs no justification someone else. He
already knows why he wants to do it.
Once you decide your audience I would recommend that you get a video
production guy and let him put together your video.
There are lots of videos on YouTube. The well-done ones can be a half hour
or more and I stay with them to the end because they are excellent training
tools. Specifically I found some good ones about shaping metal using CNC
milling machines. They do not have the author doing a "talking head" but
showing his hands turning cranks, etc. to get the job done.
These are my quick impressions and don't reflect on your artistic ability
only that you are trying to learn how to create a video which is a totally
different animal. which even a professional can fail.
Good luck
Nick

Subject: [NF] BIG Dragon Sculpture - SHORT Video Online...
Hey folks,
A while ago I uploaded a video to YouTube - about the production process
for my Very Big Chinese Dragon Sculpture/Prototype - which I produced
using my MakerBot CupCake CNC 3D Printer. A number of the folks n this
list suggested that I make an Abridged version of the Video - since it was
quite long at about 25 minutes. Well, I finally got around to making that
video, and also based it upon suggestions here - like mainly images w/Text
explanations - and background music. There is only about 3 short segments
of actual video footage used in this new video version. And, this version
is now only about 7 minutes long.
So -if you want to check it out - you can find it here:

And - for those local to the NYC/LI area - the Dragon is actually going on
display in March. I will have a number of my 3D printer projects exhibited
at the Cultural Center in Stonybrook - along with a number of other
artists. So - feel free to stop by if you are in the area!
L8r,
-K-
