Helping hand with chain maille

[Zac Miller]

I am trying to create some videos showing the process of making chain maille armor for people whom have never made armor before.

This is a test shot video. I am hoping that you guys can give me suggestions about what to add or show better.

Unfortunately what we do isnt known to everyone, this bit of history should not be lost.

thanks again

Hi, Zac --

I checked out your video and think it's very good. It's clear and distinct and breaks down the process into easy-to-follow steps.

I think that it would help if you had an overhead rig of some kind (like in a cooking show), or splice in a shot showing close-ups of the work. For example, at one point you mentioned that to start making a chain, one has to start with a string of units with the middle ring facing up. I know what you mean, but it's hard to actually see that over your shoulder at an oblique angle, so it would be good to have a close-up in there to explain what you mean.

But that would just be an enhancement. Otherwise I thought it was a pretty awesome video. : )
