Constructive criticism wanted

[Woodworks]

Hi all

 

Had a friend making a short video to promote our logs. Just been sent the first edit so plenty of time to change things so what do you think?

 

Type in logs

Nicely filmed & edited.

Have you considered mentioning the type of logs you supply? eg; hardwood, softwood or mixed... and maybe mention they are locally sourced, or UK sourced, if they are?

cheers, steve

Yeah seems ok to me,one small thing id add in is where the logs come from,do you replant a tree for every tree thats gets felled,sustainability etc.

In my experience some people,not all,can get a bit arsey if they think a poor tree has been felled to produce logs and not been replaced.

Good luck

This is why I ask on here. Well spotted guys had completely overlooked those aspects. Frankly was bit thrown when he asked me to talk about what we do was just planning on some text over the top.

Its a well put together video. Do you seriously stack every single log to store? You have far more patience than me!

No not all Steve. The longer lengths 10-12" and the 12-16" ones are pretty easy to stack and all the shorter sizes get bunged into crates but still have nearly 100 cube in the sheds.

Beau,

 

minute 1:17 "A lot of it as good as kiln dried..."

 

Maybe a small edit on the script either to avoid the suggestion that kiln dried is somehow better and that only some of yours is as good as kiln dried - leaves the potential to question what about the stuff that isn't as good as kiln dried or that perhaps kiln dried is better than air dried.

 

Or, if wishing to compare directly with kiln dried - "equivalent average moisture content to that of kiln dried but without the energy required to undertake kiln drying - therefore, an equivalent product but produced with a reduced CO2 footprint..."

 

You talk about volume produced in the video, consider visibility of FC and potential for FL or cross compliancy conflicts perhaps if it's going public?

 

Crocadon - not taking the machine. TAONB said it was beyond their capacity to coordinate another piece of moving machinery....

Yes looks like we need to redo the talking bit. Does look like we are cutting large amounts from the hedge but it's bit of a fudge as loaded the trailer with bought in and then put the fresh felled on top.

I like it. Only thing I felt was it's quite hard to hear what you're saying over the music at times - but that could be my ears as they aren't right great.

I loved the video but people in my opinion like short and to the point ...might be a bit long for some but never the less it's brilliant !good job !
