All [constructive] comments are greatly appreciated!


We installed a swing on the abandoned Reading above-ground railroad that's right in the middle of Center City, Philadelphia.

Cool project & nice work.

But for my taste the film's too long & I'd aim to make it 3 minutes at most.

Boil it down to it's essence.

Best,

I wish you stayed with it to see the bigger picture, but I understand that from a quick glance, the first few shots might seem long. Thank you Jim, much appreciated and I'll take note of it for next time.
 
This footage can be cut down to at least 3 minutes, the opening drilling shot felt like torture after 10 seconds.....

* Most importantly thank you for sharing your work and keep creating content, tight edits are essential in helping move a story

peace
 
I feel like you have a lot of nice footage. But I'll agree with the others that it just feels too long. The drilling and lettering seemed to take an eternity. The choice of music also does not make the time fly by.

It seems you could make a tonal transition from preparation to installation and swinging. The installation and swinging is supposed to be the climax of the story but it seems to just keep along at the same pace and with the same morose music accompanying it.

Visually it seems like the shots are nicely executed and put in a nice order, they all just feel much too long than they should be.
