    Great job for your first video. Its as good or better than mine and iv'e been filming 4 or 5 yrs. I have 2 things to advise you on cause you said you wanted feedback. The first is the transitions between clips. Cut way back on those. 2 When your doing your in tree interviews look directly into the camera lens.

    Im impressed. you did a better job than I could in the heat of the moment. You produced a nice video. As for feedback, the only thing I can think of would be to cut back on the words "amazing" and "must watch" in the title. In my opinion, that is for the viewer to think, regardless of how good it is. Good luck in the future. I subscribed.

    Very good videos! Here is my advise. I'm guessing you are using Windows Movie Maker. That's what I use. I feel transitions are needed between scenes. With that being said, I almost always use the one called Crossfade. I feel it really helps with transition from one scene to another without going over the top making it an obvious transition. You did a pretty good job keeping each scene from dragging on. Many people like to include every second of video when editing. They need to remember that most people have very short attention spans. After you somehow got a viewer to click on your video, you don't want them to get bored and click to someone else's video. It is important not to have long scenes with nothing happening. If there isn't any action going on, cut that section out. No one wants to watch a solid 3 minutes of a deer standing still feeding or waiting several minutes for a deer to step out from a tree. This is where transitions come into play. Show a few seconds and then transition the scene to where there is some action. People like short videos that are to the point. Try to keep videos to just a couple minutes. If there is lots of interesting footage, then a little longer is OK. After all it takes to get someone to watch your video, you don't want them getting bored and not finishing it.
