# elfin ibex As the title says, I've recently decided to take my youtube channel a bit more s...

Few thoughts.
Intro is good but I think it can be great. You opened really strong with "huge empty wall" but I think the rest of it felt a little dragged out if that makes sense. Like if that intro was like maybe 5-10seconds shorter but overall im nitpicking.

Following that I like the shots you used setting up the easel. :56 - 1:26 is a bit slow however so far the video is giving chill vibes so far enjoying the music choice and the audio sounds good and the sound effects are not overdone. I really enjoy the actual painting portion montage of sorts 10/10 at this part in my opinion.

The video also gives almost like a family vlog feeling at the end of the video.

Overall for being your 2nd longform upload in over a year this is really good like this isnt the typical type of content I watch or would click on but it kept me engaged.

I do have some suggestions. The thumbnail and title could use a little bit of refinement. I get the usage of starry night as the background but combined with the title it gives the impression that you are recreating starry night to potential viewers.
Lean into the painting like you could keep the title essentially the same but add quotations around beautiful and possibly put the painting blured as the thumbnail to play into "beautiful" so the title and thumbnail reinforce each other (just my opinion of course take with a grain of salt)

Probably one of my favorite videos giving feedback on. It feels like it would belong to a bigger channel.

Thank you so much for very thorough feedback! I absolutely agree that the parts where I am talking to the camera are a bit slow, both the intro and the other part. Definitely something to consider in future videos.

I think I got a bit impatient when making the thumbnail as I just really wanted to publish the video 😆 I will go back and redo it.

Again,thank you for the detailed feedback. Appreciate it a lot!
