OH THE STENCH! I will be adding photos and details to my profile soon. I will have to make a trip back to see what I missed. This place is huge! Watch the intro before I get caught for copyright infringement!!

It's only my second time sitting down and taking in a whole video of yours. You've made so many in recent months! Nice one.

Awesome glasses at the beginning! You've got your audio a bit out of sync with your mouth - to me it looks like the audio is slightly ahead of the visual.

You present it well at the beginning. Some quiet background music might help your transitions between video and photography - at the moment I find the silence jarring when you switch to a photo.

You can cut your movies a lot more too IMHO. If something is happening, include it. If we are just getting to the action, cut it out. I don't believe the viewer needs every moment, or even most moments, of our explores. I like to respect the viewer's time. 3-4 minutes is plenty to expect a modern person to sit still LOL.

Have you seen Raticus's post here?

Your video shows and even discusses how you accessed the site. Personally in this case I wouldn't care, as it looks like a place is already done over by graffiti painters, scrappers etc. But if the mods wanted to enforce the rule about not showing access, I imagine this video would be on their hitlist.

Plenty of my videos in the past have shown entry - maybe even some I've posted here on UER. Personally I like the storytelling of entering and leaving a space. However, I'm now re-editing my best movies, and removing a lot of that stuff: not so much for the ethics, but just to make the edits tighter, more efficient, and hopefully more compelling as a result.
