      i liked the last one better. now this might complaining on a high level but i would like to see some color grading in the video and some cinematic shots like on the alec steele chanel. also i dont think the music fits very well. somewhat more drama would be cool. other than that i love your work and cant wait to start myself learning this craft

    This video made me legit giddy and checked every box of my viewer "must-have" checklist. Your narration was awesome, music was *MINT* by filling those periods between narration, also volume was spot on. Genuinely snort laughed at the dye shaking joke, because I'm immature and it was delivered perfectly. The tip about fixing a mis-stamp from the border tool was pure leatherworking gold. I could have watched this for another 20 minutes and never realized what amount of time passed. I am anxiously looking forward to all the future videos, if you need suggestions on topics :D I'm happy to make dema.. suggestions!

    I can't tell you how much I appreciate you taking in suggestions and applying them to your content. Each step was explained thoroughly without being long winded, I can see clearly what you're doing as you explain, the video length was bang on as far as my particular attention span, as well, I didn't have to touch the volume once. That was my particular beef with previous videos and I'm ecstatic you addressed it. Keep up the fantastic work, I look forward to the next one.

    Another Great video. I enjoyed both this and the helmet tutorial. I prefer the longer video format you presented with the helmet tutorial; in this one the entire assembly portion was not included, due to the technical issues you had. I look forward to the rest of this series and will post pictures of my builds once completed. Thanks again.

    • @Princearmory
      @Princearmory  Před 5 lety +1

      I think this video actually has a couple minutes more dialogue compared to the helmet, i just edited the video down to the audio for this one. The last video definitely had some bits that strained patience but its hard to notice that when you spend days and days editing it.

  • @Spetznatz01
    @Spetznatz01 Před 5 lety +2

    I like it either way. The longer versions to me are so in-depth and your method and detailed explanations make it great. The shorter version is still great, and I’m fine with either method.
