What worked

(1/2) Transformation

The highly visual before vs after straight out of the gate gives us a clear reason to watch.

It illustrates the transformation we can expect by watching to the end.

(2/2) Context

Scott always gives us context for why we might need to learn each skill before showing us.

And this is something a lot of people get wrong.

Your viewers don’t automatically care about… well, anything! …without being given context to explain why they should.

I mean, who’s getting excited about chromatic abberation without first seeing, in context, what the heck it means?

Good stuff from Scott.

What to improve

(1/3) Sticky Cuts

These currently feel a little bit stunted between cuts.

Especially when cutting from A-Roll → A-Roll?

J-cuts would have been useful in making this seem smoother
