I like narrow shots. But I like in-focus narrow shots better.

Okay. I feel the video and the process it seeks to explain could be rendered more intelligible by NOT being so focused on persistently constant close ups of the plate, carbon tissue, etc and its processes. that for me far more obscured things than clarified them. As one of several problematic examples, the aquatint box was just puzzling--how does this work? How do make the rosin fall--esp. as I assume it needs to happen uniformly? And yet the close ups just mystified the process rather than clarifying it. Like with works of art themselves, its insufficient to look at only details. Stepping back and seeing a more integrated and synoptic view both literally and figuratively lets you see the bigger picture.
