My local Kerala association (Indian state of my origin) is doing a fusion music event this month featuring a mix of western and Indian instruments and songs. I made these two promo videos for the event. Looking forward to some feedback. Feel free to lie through your teeth if you think it's bad because I am only looking to hear opinions that suggest that I'd have been a great video editor had I not been such a great programmer. You can also tell me how you tell your kids that they need to be modest like Uncle Nish.

I am going to order Pizza now, this time I need to make sure I call the right place.

I must admit being a bit fascinated by the Sitar (far too many strings, I'm a Bass player!), little known fact Jimmy Page (of Led Zeppelin fame) had on before George Harrison (The Beatles) and had to get Ravi Sanclar to show him how to tune it. Anorak question is the Sitar the same scale/tuning as Western music....

If only there was a tool that allowed you to search the internet and find relevant information.... 
I could make a fortune selling access to it to QA posters!

I'm quite sure some would still prefer answers that removed the need for think!

Don't joke about it, there'd be some weirdo who'd actually offer you decent money for that

You mean common sense?
|
|
|
|
|
I've heard that expression before, what's common about it?
|
|
|
|
|
It's more of an uncommon sense nowadays.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
|

|
|

Yeah, I don't think they have a Sitar player. That'd have been a nice touch.

A true master would have a cool signature. Also, you need to add a link to your website if you wish to attract other customers, especially of the fair variety.

Good idea, although everyone involved in this already know me. That said I've been bitten in the past where people happily use my photos (of them, taken for free) without acknowledging credit and in most cases not even thanking me. Recently I've started watermarking my photos. It's more due to lack of etiquette on their side than any attempt at being intentionally rude I would guess.

Oh! OK
Using many different fades doesn't make it look amateurish at all!
Having the soundtrack completely unsynchronised with the visuals was a pleasant novelty, especially ths scenes where video of a singer was accompanied by, for example, an electric guitar!
The clips of a singer apparently tweeting as he sang was interesting!
The editor must have spent a long time making the whole thing look like a hastily-prepared PowerPoint rather than the polished, professional product it most certainly is.

"Family commitments". Yeah.
He's not fooling anyone, the wife made him get rid of it.

So it goes like this: you decide to put significant effort into creating some technical information. You double check the facts, you pay attention to formatting etc. All of it after work. For free - just because you think you owe something to programming community... Then you share it... Sometimes someone says “thanks!” – and it’s enough!
...But from time to time there is this special person, he/she is either unable to comprehend written word or doesn't care to actually read the article before judging it. Don’t you just love such people?
