I got word that I'll be shooting a few more people to include in this video and I'm mostly just looking for any storyboard suggestions... Content that you thought was missing from the current video. My goal was to try and tell the overall story without getting to in-depth

Any other comments/suggestions are welcome, but this video still has a lot of tweaking to do (audio levels need to be bumped, audio looping, some awkward cuts/keyframes, color, etc.) I'm looking to have this project finalized sometime next week and I'll post it in this thread once it's finished. thanks

that was awesome dude!
it seems like you have a good handle on it (like the minor tweaks that need to be done)

did this evolve out of the slideshow thing? or is that a different project?

thanks, it's for the same thing, but it's a different project. I think the other slideshow thing is only going to be showed at an event

thanks guys, it's been a really fun project so far.

Does anyone have any suggestions about what I should hit on during this next shoot? Was there a part to the story that you thought was missing?

I was gonna touch on why the location is so perfect for a ski resort, and tried this during my last shoot. Most of the responses were too sales-pitchy, and I'm trying to stay away from that in this video. Maybe i'll throw it out there again and see if I can get some better responses

agreed. I am planning on doing some graphic work at the end to ease out, but I think a few powerful statements at the end would also really help. Any suggestions on what to ask to help get the right content?

maybe something like, "where do you see this mountain 50 years from today?" idk

Updated video- shot another 4 people, so it's been a little tough getting them all in there. Any comments/suggestions are very much appreciated. Trying to finalize this video by the end of the week .

thanks man. Ended up getting footage of two other people that someone else shot and weaved them in there as well as changed a bit of the content. This is the final piece for those interested

I havn't had a chance to check out the newer uploaded versions, but one non media related thing that bothered me about your first upload was the "19XX" dates. The entire story takes place in the 1900s so to have every date read 19XX weakens the timeline IMO.
Do you plan on filling them in once you obtain the proper dates, or is that not possible?

yeah, they're all fixed those were just fillers because I didn't know the exact dates and had to run them by some people to get the actual dates. It was an easy thing to change so I figured i'd atleast get the .psd placement down and just change the text later
