Hiya. Thanks! Ok some advice then... You have to put yourself in the place of the person watching the video. For me, most people that watch my videos are NOT subscribers - only about 6% are subscribers. So the average viewer, is perhaps not someone that's interested in lifts at all! Your challenge is to make them click then watch your video. The video title and thumbnail are the first step to attract people to click on your video - this is the first challenge. If your video has captured the attention of someone and they've chosen to click your video, now you need something almost immediately to prevent them clicking out of the video, so you need something to keep them watching. In the first 5 seconds (certainly within 10 seconds) you need a 'wow' factor. For me, it's something really exciting that comes later on in the video. So it'll be like, relays activating, the lift moving in the shaft, then something that people think 'what the heck is that'? Then I'll say "all this, coming up!!!". Then comes the intro. Your videos are really good and you spend a lot of time on them, I can see that. But when I click on your videos, the first thing I see is your channel name scrolling up the screen very slowly. Remember what I said about captivating the viewer, probably most people won't want to see your intro through. It gives people too long to reconsider and click something else. So when the logo splits apart, I think you need it the other way around - go straight into what people are going to see in your video, show case a few exciting bits, but at this stage don't do your intro or show yourself doing a voiceover. Exciting bits first, then the intro. Your intro, in my opinion, needs to be much faster, because nothing much is happening on your intro and it gives people too long to think 'CBA' and click away. Make it much faster, even if the text just zooms out of the middle of the screen, then parts in the middle (I know you want it to look like a lift, but for most people (especially the majority of your audience who probably are not interested in lifts), they wont see the connection between text rising and it being a lift - in which case trying to portray your logo as a lift is wasted anyway. So - 1) Interesting title and thumbnail, 2) Within the first 5-10 seconds show case the interesting bits in your video that are coming up, 3) Cut to your intro but make it much quicker - if it's a bit boring then even more reason to make it quick and snappy (sorry to be so brutal, but just trying to help), 4) then cut to you telling people about the video, and so on. 5) Within the video (within the first 3 mins if possible), place a 'carrot on a stick' to keep people watching - for example "Now we come to this device, it's really interesting, and I'll tell you about it later". Never say "now we come to this device, BUT I'll show you later" - never suggest a negative (the word 'but') that may p*ss people off! :) I hope this has helped you a bit, let me know if I can help further. Let me know if anything works for you above, i'm always interested.

Thank you very much! Yes took ages to prepare all the layers, I also had to 'draw over' the original schematic to put as a top layer to enhance it further. Excellent result though.

Thank you so much 😀
