The beginning 45 seconds is a bit choppy, with the introductions. I like the casual interview style. Very appropriate for these two guys. During the interviews, is there any way to have the Nat sound playing softly in the background? It seems odd to see them playing, but with no sound. And could you mix in the stills with the video instead of piling them all up at the end?
I could not have the natural sound playing in the background because there is no way that I know of to edit the audio in MovieMaker so that the interview is loud enough to be heard over the background. If I had not muted the natural sound, you would not be able to hear the guys talking. I suppose I could probably import the audio from the video into Audacity plus the interview audio and manipulate it that way, but I didn't know how to do that, so I didn't. Also, Jeff had said that in one instance, mixing the stills with the video kind of made the video look like it froze, so that's why I did that the way I did it, plus I tried to match up the video with what the guys were talking about and toward the end, I didn't have any video to illustrate that.
