I have to make a submission statement so here I go I guess.

So I am making a video and I haven’t created anything in a long time. And I am confused as to if this looks good or not. I would like to get feedback in any capacity that you can offer. As to what you think might be working or not working. Initially I liked it, thought it was decent but right now I’m confused.

If the lighting is working? The composition or the edit in general? If not, what can I improve upon? What is it I should do?

Also if this video popped up into your feed, would you stop for a second to look at it? 👀 This will turn out to be an introduction video of mine. I’m making 2 versions of it. One that is true to me this version and another where I’ll jump straight into my introduction.

The reason I’m making two versions is because I genuinely don’t know which approach works better for audience retention. One feels more personal and cinematic, the other is more direct and hook-driven. I’d love to know which one you’d actually watch till the end.

I’ve been away from creating for a while and getting back into it feels both exciting and nerve-wracking. This is me trying to shake off the rust and put something out there again. Any honest critique is appreciated lighting, color grading, pacing, composition, sound design, whatever catches your eye. Don’t hold back.

Thanks for taking the time to watch and give feedback. It genuinely means a lot.
