  1. there were some shaky panning and zooming, but it was very relaxing and the concept fit the song. the handheld camera works for the most part, just sometimes it got a little shaky. i enjoyed it a lot. it does a good job of showcasing goshen to a person who has never explored this area.

  2. Your first pan of the downtown square is fast and wobbly. I'd suggest using a tripod for your panned shots so that they are smoother. When you're walking around at night either make it focused or not focused. The auto focus makes it a little inconsistent. I'd also suggest checking your white balance before shooting outside during the day so that you get the same tones of the buildings.

  3. The zooming scenes could have been smoother. A tripod should have been used in the stationary shots if it wasn't used. The panning could have been smoother. It was nice that you took different shots of different stores. I also like how you show different things going on like the band playing in the music store or bar, whatever that was. Over all the video was good.

  4. I liked the theme of the video. Some lighting in the shots were over exposed. Also some of the handheld shooting worked really well, and sometimes it was too shaky and did not seem to fit the scene. I like how you filmed it to where you acted like we were looking through someones eyes. Some scenes were also repetitive, but the song is long so I understand you had to fill time. The feel was very homey though and felt 'safe' so good job! It was exactly what you pitched to us.

  5. I like the variety of shots in the video and how it goes back to the opening shot of welcome and Goshen. I think in my opinion there was too much panning in the takes.

  8. Cool video. One thing I liked is how it practically took us on a tour around Goshen. I've never been there so it gave me a lot of insight.

  9. I like how clear a lot of your shots were and some of the hand recording you did seemed very organic and made the viewer feel like they were almost there in Goshen. I also liked how you used a little bit of repetition of clips towards the end in conjunction with the chorus of the song

  10. Nice video. I think the video went well with the song. I think you had some nice shots in the video too. My favorite was the closer shot of the vinyls, but I think it went on too long. I also wish you didn't use the zoom on most of the shots. It was a little distracting for me. I also wanted to see more of the town and more people instead of the same shots over again. Overall I think your video was nice.

  11. Goshen looks like a fun place! You had a good diversity of shots. But even with so many, it seems like you ran out by the end and had to repeat a few. It was a pretty long song, so that's understandable. I think the most effective shots were in the coffee shop and the record store.

  12. You guys have some really nice locations that you have gone through, and definitely showcased many of the aspects of a small town. My favorite shot was panning over the records, though it did seem to last a bit long. I liked how when it talked about smiling, you showed various people smiling and waving, but a few more may have been needed instead of showing the same ones three times. Overall, nice work!

  13. I enjoyed the many shots of the video. You had a different shots. I think you could of used more people and more places. The shots were blurry sometimes. I think if you could get a ride on the tractor that would of been interesting.
