There are some constructive comments in there -- e.g., I had heard the audio anomalies, but not thought about audio remixing -- but Randall, haven't you ever heard of a "criticism sandwich"? It's "a slice of praise, followed by a slice of criticism, followed by another slice of praise"? There are a number of good references to it in Google, and I'd suggest it as a useful tool for everyone (yes, you :-) ), for interpersonal relationships of many kinds (as the variety of the sites on which it is found will attest). So Bruce, I hope Randall's criticisms weren't too hard to swallow. I liked your clip, and think the format works fine for this film. I think some of his suggestions ("interacting with family, pets, cooking, riding a bike, walking in the park, etc.") might go well in a future video, geared to a wider audience and with a bigger budget. I look forward to seeing both your current project and future ones (to which I trust Randall will donate time and money to help construct something from his constructive comments). Maybe a team effort of some kind that incorporated ideas from his outline....
