Make it sound like you're excited about the subject matter. One other little thing that bothered me, the video would switch to the next topic before the voice over, sometime by a good 10 seconds. When the picture switches to Small World, you shouldn't still be talking about Innoventions (just an example). All in all great work. The next ones can olnly get better!

Originally Posted By DBitz2 I would just add to the other suggestions a couple of things. Trim out bad, or mis-shot footage, as it distracts from the overall quality of the presentation. I saw a couple of brief pieces where the camera was still going after you had gotten the main shot you were after. Also, I like to use fades between shots when there is a major change of scene, such as switching from Tomorrowland to Frontierland. A fade makes such transitions less jarring. Likewise, dissolves can make some scene transitions smoother. Generally, I don't like a lot of panning and zooming, but in a short presentation like this, some of that is necessary to keep it from being merely a "slide show". I don't think you overdid it. Just don't cut the scenes too fast so that the viewer can't see what it was you intended to show them. You'll find your "groove" as you do more of these. I shoot my own video at the Parks, so I know how much work it can be and it is appreciated!

Your editing style is not at all bad - better than most consumer level projects. Just slow the cutting a bit, like when you entered the room in the Big Thunder Ranch area. Just as we were about to see what was in the room, you cut away. Let us see where you're going. And I also agree that you need to put some more energy and excitement into your voice. It'll help greatly. Keep 'em coming!
