This was truly great advice.

some amazing things were said here.
i do have to say that whoever shot this video....the simplicity of it is amazing. I was drawn in and it felt like I was in the room the whole time. the light, the ambient sounds, and most importantly sticking to a simple aproach with camera angles.... it all works.I like the fact that there are only a few different camera angles used throughout the whole video. It kinda gives my brain time to get used and sink into the setting. Most videos of this sort are way overwhelming and I have no clue where the person is
