You do a really good job. Watched it twice and now i DO understand it. Really edited well. The part where you show the different lenses on a face and fast cut between then us really cool and must have taken a long time to shoot and then assemble but it really showed it a lot. We own a classy burlesque dinner theater in st louis mo and we are reoping here soon and plan to live stream our shows.
