[QUOTE="Magnetoman, post: 132574, member: 2806"] That's a beautifully made video that required a huge amount of work to film and edit. Kudos to the people who created it. However, only the seriously afflicted would watch such a video so the potential audience must be quite limited. Not to say I'm not one of the seriously afflicted, but I watched it for a different reason. For my own reasons, I was looking for any scene(s) where video was better than a few still images for explaining how to do a procedure or process when rebuilding a motorcycle. The reason for my interest is I document my rebuilds fairly extensively with photographs, but would it be better on video? Even ignoring the considerable additional time it would take to frame each scene and light it properly, I didn't see anything in that video where a photograph accompanied by a written explanation wouldn't be better than a narrated video clip. Written words alone would better than nothing for describing how to, say, balance a crankshaft. But, a few photographs along with the written words would be a [I]lot[/I] better than just the words alone. But, it seems to me, video with spoken words would be a step backwards, at least as far as documenting a rebuild in a fashion most useful for someone else to be able to follow. However, there's no doubt that Russian video would be [I]much[/I] better than any number of words or photographs for tricking unsuspecting souls into believing motorcycle restoration was a straightforward process, where every rusted fastener came loose with a few drops of oil and a light twist of the spanner, and hands never got dirty. For propaganda, video can't be beat. [/QUOTE]
