- Oppose Per Johann Jaritz. To be a bit more specific: What was the audio part of the video recorded with? There's a lot of disturbing background noise kicking in right after the still image shown at the beginning of the video. Visual quality is OK (but not great) most of the time, but some shots are pretty bad (e.g. at 1:35 and 2:10). Around 1:50 camera work is a bit shaky. The lighting is very hard, sometimes clipping both highlights and shadows at the same time. The background (someones livingroom?) is distracting – we would never accept that for a table-top photograph of this object at FPC. I'd also get rid of the transmission effects between the shots (e.g. 0:43), that looks unprofessional to me (something Uncle Bob would use for that dreaded 3-hour slide show of his vacation pictures). A minor issue that should be easily fixed: a copyright tag for the music is missing (something like {{PD-US-1923}}, I suppose?). In summary, while this is very interesting and useful, I don't think this should be promoted among "Commons' finest" in its current state. Sorry, --El Grafo (talk) 09:20, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose Interesting, but low quality. What camera was used? Regards, Yann (talk) 14:24, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose The use of inline titles is detrimental to accessibility (TimedText, OTOH, can be edited if it turns out to be inaccurate, as well as translated into other languages). Daniel Case (talk) 17:42, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
- I withdraw my nomination I should have looked (and listened) more closely before nominating... --Till (talk) 18:33, 1 December 2017 (UTC)
