    I did 4 different ads..2 for FAR (art/photo) and 2 for Fanstory (writers/poets) each with a different approach that focused on whichever contest.i do have a large library of Christmas music and tried to match up to each video. I remember on this one I was up in the air between 3 different tunes and chose this one. Maybe the other one might be the one that feels better but sadly I can't redo these and the sites were pleased with it so I'll leave this one alone. Sorry it didn't sound more Christmas theme to you but maybe next I'll get the next one right. Wink. Thank you for your time from both FAR and myself thank you for the good review with suggestions. (Thumbs up)

I don't think you want to know what I'll post-lol, then again, maybe you do! Another of your fantastic videos that are a whole lot of fun to watch as well as being informative. Need some decent snow so I can arrange a nice little scene for the contest!

I am so honored to be the recipient of an MK Flood original Video - Thank you MK.

This honor was very special to me and means a lot coming from such a talented artist as you.

Now this new piece is new ground with the incorporation of live cuts interspersed with the narrative.

The timing and frame rate is comfortable to follow and understand. The voice over is clear, concise and brief - viewer attention doesn't wander.

The colors are in keeping with the season. The colors brightness and vibrancy is not distracting but inviting.

Again with a top notch video... Bob

Comment from Phil Holloway


Great composition with clear focus on the faces and the eyes. Whilst the background is soft you can see the girls are lying down. The on the left is interesting because she is looking at the girl on the right who is looking directly at the viewer's eyes, giving us a start and finish point within the image

    Very cool. So what did you think of the 45 second video that is attached? Both FAR and myself thank you for the good review.
reply by Phil Holloway on 05-Nov-2023
    The video delivers the message clearly but I felt the background music was a little too generic ... It would be better with a recognizable Christmas jingle. Thank you for asking my opinion.

Hi Mark, I definitely think you captured the spirit of Christmas in this! Both the video and the poster make you smile. You have the beauty of the lighted trees, pop-up santas and the joy we feel during this time of year. Love the kids, the hug the little girl gives her brother is touching. Christmas is one time you really have to touch the heartstrings and you did! Your presentation is very nice! I enjoyed with a hoot and a holler!!!! :o) Nancy

I would have no clue how to put together a video like this. It's a great reminder of the upcoming festive season, very well put together. I like the narrative and the music. Well done!
