Thanks for all of yalls feedback. You’re right on the videos they’re boring and bad. I have decided after your comments to cancel the rest of the series. I canceled all of the shoots for the next 3 athletes.
No more kona series videos. Thanks again for watching.
Please go on! I'm a scientists and the feedback you get on reviews is usually gruelling. The only way to deal with it is taking a positive attitude towards it. You can't please everyone, but what you get as feedback are things some people don't like, or what they think you can improve upon.
Do you, as an artist, want your videos to be recognized by the music? Some might not like, but it could also work for others that it rings a bell, and they know there is a Talbot Cox video coming, and they know they like those.
Would a story line improve your videos? Would the suggestion how to build a story line work to build a story line? If people want a storyline, how could I build that? Etc.
Pulitzer price books aren't written in one go, nobel price writers didn't win their nobel price based on their first book. I'm sure you would agree that your videos now are much better than when you just started. And in a few years time you'll realize that your videos then are much better than they are now.
I love your videos, but I caught myself zoning out in some of the shots with highlights of training. Maybe because I've seen so many of your videos in a short time, but I wondered if those shots could be used to also convey some other information, or if additional information could be presented with them.
Keep up the good work! My personal favorite Kona video so far was Sarah True. I never saw an interview or anything with, but she shot right to my top of favorite triathlete women!
