A couple weeks ago, I posted a video link and asked for your critique. The following link shows the results of your suggestions... Quartzsite, Arizona - 2014

Your such an expert why haven't you taken the time to make an informative video such as this? Come on bud lets see one of your "Expert Informative Videos".... Go crawl under a rock.
To the original poster great job I have often wondered myself what Quartsite is what drew so many people. Great work thank you for posting.
I will admit, I have never made a video, like the OP. Now, I am an accomplished photographer. In the past I was a professional speaker, as well as an instructor in public speaking. Even a published author. Now I did attend Cinema Interruptus, for 17 consecutive years. But, you are right, I have never made a video, just like Leonard Maltin and Roger Ebert have never made a video either. But they have written a few opinions about videos. Well, Roger was an accomplished screenwriter, prior to his eventual occupation. So I am not sure how the premise of not making a video is a valid argument of not providing a critique.
It seems we are living in a world now, where everyone gets a medal, for participation and letter grades are no longer assigned so as not to hurt the esteem of a child. Yes, br549redneck, no one should ever provide constructive criticism, even when one requests feedback. I would encourage you to look at the OP’s previous post on this topic; Previous Quartzsite Video thread. As I stated, I feel that it is not beneficial to criticize without offering a reasonable solution.
The fact is, the OP requested a critique. To not offer a critique would be less than helpful when it is my belief that my suggestions would help the OP produce, an improved video. I would proffer you, to find one of my examples, or suggestions, to be without merit. What I read from your response is; “If you don’t have anything nice to say about something, don’t say anything.” Those that have grown familiar with my posts, would probably agree that I will speak up, often when others may not, offering only; “Back Slaps and High Fives!” :B
Oh yeah, I will crawl back under a rock now, as it is a great location to discover so many creatures of the desert, there.
