I haven't seen this before. I can nitpick a half dozen things from it, but the sequence is right, the ambiance is good, and the music is fitting. As an overall, quite a nice video!



Probably goes without saying that I'd like to make a similar video, but I don't have any area similar in style. Eventually though.....

Ya, it was enjoying to watch actually. I couldn't nit pick anything because that is out of my area of expertise... For now...

Nicely done in terms of the ambiance, and so on. We could make videos like this. ;)

We should; and post them to the Order's FB site.  People love to watch stuff like this.  We could even go one better- as not everyone has the same period of kit, could do single vids for say 11th - 13th C, and 14th - 16th (or further).

The evolution of armor. I got a nice airsoft kit.

Where do we get the ambiance?? That's what I want for a video. :)

Agreed, the more the better!

Ambience can be created using music, lighting and a themed "set".  Definitely doable.

I also think I might know someone who has built some of his own furniture and has a tent. ;)

Oh I completely forgot about the arming pics from the photoshoot last May! I'll get cracking on those later this week, I've been neck deep in armor, websites and the plague since last weekend... but a video sounds good too. Maybe when I do the tent check and prep before VARF.

I am jealous of the "formal" interior of that video. A "set" sounds like a neat idea. Hmm.
