    Hey Matt!

    Honestly, it looked a little 'windows movie maker'!

    Want me to touch it up?

    Hi Matt,

    The video is very well done!

    You might want to allow the text to stay on a second little longer.

    Also, if you use it anywhere other than your blog page, use an
    auto-redirect after it plays.

    Hope this helps,

    Steve

        I don't know what you're going for here but I'd only rank it okay....I mean, you're selling a video course right? I'd give people more story line like...

        Learn how you can have 3,935 visitors in your site by next Friday using video!

        Discover how video converts 117% more people who visit websites....

        More of that kind of thing - hit people with incentive, story, emotion....

        Also, I think your site address doesn't show up long enough.

        Good luck...

        No, the worm hole was made with an old version of motion, and the video was editied in final cut.

    Did you make the BG in 3d? Or is it stock? And what about the audio?

    Thanks!

      The BG was an old project I had to do in college. We used the first edition of apple motion. Ad for the audio, I have like thousands upon thousands of royalty free tracks and fx.

    really? Can i ask where you got them from?

    Mubarak.

    Also, maybe if you change the front from impact to tw cen mt condensed and then make it bold. And I must say I like the video on your blog with the arrows. Very creative! Although I'm not sure what the red stroked path is?

    Maybe a graph!

      Yes it is a graph. I have been compiling the tracks over the years, some came with the digital juice, some with soundtrack pro, etc.

    ohh ok ok.

    Maybe if you added some glow on AE, and also wiggle the point of interest (1,20), and the depth of field (1,500)

    This may make it look better, but the numbers will need fiddling!

    I would not say scrap. Ok, use the 3d tunnelly work thing to yor advantage. Put text in 3d space, and have them so they look like they are 'in' the worm. So as one section of the work gets closer the text goes to 100% opacity quickly, and goes to the camera, and then it keeps following the worm, so the text goes behind it. Then you can stop the workm footage and the camera when you want to focus on some text...

    In advertising, "features tell, benefits sell" - you might want to emphasize more just how incredibly powerful their business will become and how much money they are going to make, and less about what they'll learn. No-one wants to learn anything, but everyone wants to make more money!

    I liked the video tho - btw!

    Ahh final cut. See, that is great for non-complex, non-linear editing. But for high-impact stuff, its AE all the way, bro!

    Get rid of that twisting tunnel. It makes it impossible to read the text. The music's a bit cheesy to.

    On a scale of 1-10 I give it a 2... only because I actually liked the end where you showed the url with the flash and sound effect.

    Since in the video you talk about teaching people video stuff... you need to deliver a much better quality video because this one will ding your credibility.

    That's as brutal as I can get because frankly it is not good enough to merit much more comment ;-)
