Promotional Video - Feedback Requested!
The government has produced a promotional video for Talossa! It's in contemporary TikTok style and 50 seconds long, and we think things like this have a chance of going viral again. It's not a sure thing, of course, but we can re-use stuff like this many times in the future.
This is a first attempt, so please --
give us your feedback! What needs to be fixed? What needs to be added? What hits wrong?

To Do List
Which noise? I mix very often and did not find anything that would bother me.
ETA: There's something at the very beginning that kind of sounds like compensation for a vocal compressor, like auto leveling loudness.
There's some background noise. Not a lot, but I'm pretty sure I can take it out with very slight effort on Audacity.
I didn't notice the beginning sound, but it's probably an accidental bit of audio left-in from an imperfect clip.
That's top quality for me! I can publish it today CéST or on wednesday (I'm off 4 days for a family trip to discover Berlin)
I should be able to have it tweaked by then and ready. Given the resounding silence, it seems like it's it's already pretty much ready to go!
I've spoken with His Majesty about having him in some as well. And I'll probably do some talking-head style ones.
I did watch the video but work has been busy so I didn't give feedback. It looks great to me.

I feel sorry for you.
We have a few videos planned.
The next one will focus more on the monarchy, as already mentioned. This will try to tap into the heraldry and SCA community with hashtags and tagging accounts.
After that, I plan to do one about ár glheþ. I'll be tapping some of our resident Ladintschen to get some audio there, and we'll tag some language people. This will also just promote our language generally!
(Speaking of which, I'd like our Ladintschen to think about what Talossan words or phrases might make good thirty-second videos. Like a history of the word, or a weird phrase and its explanation, or a description of an unusual thing like Ă. These will be pretty easy to make.)
If anyone has any other ideas, let us know.
Okay, so I finished up this one. I also spent a few minutes grabbing out the swearing-in from the State Opening, since I thought that would be a neat clip. I had to cover up some folks with the text of the oath -- sorry! You can check that one out here (https://1drv.ms/v/c/3606af60508a1f8f/IQAB0cRVkfssRJekd_Wt25c6AaY11zjsEqz-hlYy7z49k9g?e=WboErP). I'll do the same today with my presentation and the Chancery's presentation. If anyone else has good clip ideas, please point them out and I'll whip something up. It'll be good to get a good number of short videos like this that we can post at intervals.
Meanwhile, the monarchy one should be done soon.
