Wow, perfect. Proper craftsman. With me it's a bit different ; ) - 3" square posts 'cos I'm too tight to pay the extra for 4" -set roughly vertically in to the ground (just don't look too close squinting down the line of 2 posts) -(if you do you must have been drinking) -spirit level.. (a what, sorry?) -mitres, braces, lock washers... 'all witchcraft that stuff -(to the mrs....) "oh, sorry, you wanted it square?" -chamfer, wafer pieces, drill press?!?!?!?! we're back to witchcraft again -stain it before I fix it together. Damn I forgot -11.50 "freehand all this in construction if you prefer". Yes that's what I prefer every time -plans. What, come again? -oh, PLANS. No sorry still don't get you. -well, I can always buy more wood and try again, damn.

The transition from animation to outro / real thing is so stupidly smooth. Wow.

@marzhamilton6309 4 жыл бұрын

That transition at the end where the animation blended back into reality was top notch production in my opinion! Well done, and bravo!

The production value of your videos is excellent. On this one I especially liked the transition from your opening video shot with the pergola in the background and how it seamlessly transitioned to the graphic. Amazing. I liked the format as well. Moving from live action demonstration to computer graphic model is a great way to show your concepts.
