ChainSaw Art

Very very nice. Well done. Nice shots. Good subject. Good editing. Rarely do I feel so good about both content AND quality here at Current. Good job. But before I give you my BIG green, here are a few thoughts:

It is a bit too long. I know it may not seem so, but it is about 2 minutes too long.... especiallly for this format. The subject just starts to run dry somewhere in the middle. If you shortened it a bit, you would be right on. Make it 5 and you are good. Take out a comment here and there.

You repeat a few shots. In my book, this doesn't fly. Try to find another shot or two to use. Maybe this is just me, but I can't stand repeat shots.

But overall, really nice. Well done. Make a few changes and you are you are going to have a really solid piece.

really interesting piece, good range of footage, the interviews flow, well, I like the way you edited it, but it is too long, if you cut 2-3 minutes off of it, make it more to the point, it will be an excelent video. It already works well, but I think many people would lose interest. Good job!

agree with springer comment, well done keep working

This guy loves his art and I can see you do too.

Tighten things up a bit and your good to go. Greenlight

Great subject material and interviews. Just cut it down a little and you get my green.

really great video. i loved his description of art, but its a little too long, it would have been better if you got more shots of him building

Cut it shorter. And then you got it.
Good job.

Solid piece, I love the passion of this artist. I love what he had to say. His last sentence really resonated with me, as I have so much that I have to do, and not nearly enough time to do it. That being said, i agreed with an earlier post that said to many images repeat. I have a pet peave about this also. Even though I sometimes do this by accident. Also you only have two basic shots from different angles. The interview, and him working. You needed another element for a pod of this length.

Other than that good job.

I agree with everybody about the length however the subject, shooting, and editing are great. It feels like the rough cut of an exceptional piece. Keep working on it. Personally, I use a meat axe when things get too long... at least that's what it feels like but it's always worth it in the end.
Good start! Just a little off the top.

Amazing! Very well put together. I would agree it could be tightened a little shorter, but don`t ruin the story to save time. GL

Excellent!

The art you created is nice. When you speak about your work you can tell you love what you do. I would love to see more of your art work. Interveiw is a bit long. Overall Good Pod!!

I love art.

The art is beautiful as is the way you captured it. I think you could have ended this at the bite where he says "I'm doing what I love..." -- the first time he says that. He says it once at about the middle of this and then again at the end. So the redundancy obviates that this is a bit too long. I LOVE the various camera angles you used during the interview. It's a tool that I love even if you're working with just one camera it makes the video look really alive, even though you've got a person just sitting there chatting.

I still gave you the GL because this pod is very strong. I hope you cut it down a bit to make it more user-friendly.

Love chain saw art.. he's so right you can choose to be an artist..

LOVE the story!

Great profile. I love the rhino--would have loved b-roll of him working on larger items. He's quite iconic... "the sculptor" working in only shorts... sparks flying! Great job--Greenlight.

great pod! An inspiration to any up and coming artist!

I love the creative use of a seemingly uncreative tool!

My most recent pod is about a Swiss artist using candlelight as a spiritual tool to transform Lausanne Switzerland with over 120,000 candles. If you like this kind of "alternative art," please check it out and GL if you enjoy it! : link or search my username "worldi." Its called "Lessons of Darkness."

Keep em comin,
