New video out soon -- kindly requesting feedback
Added 2024-04-29 18:34:34 +0000 UTCHello!
We've got another video coming out really soon. Here's a very close to final draft.
All feedback deeply encouraged and appreciated. If you've got any title/thumbnail ideas, that would be appreciated too.
Thank you all so much,

I think I prefer subtle.

2024-04-30 01:24:31 +0000 UTCExcellent video. Fascinating how the science of avalanches has developed. I hope that skiers and other winter sports people can see this and learn from it.

2024-04-29 23:00:20 +0000 UTC"wanted to not die" ... I don't want you to die either Petr! I think "deliberate" and "subtle" often don't work well together, unless you're probing with leading questions to get someone to intentionally think through a concept or problem.

2024-04-29 20:08:21 +0000 UTCThanks Kimberly! Always deeply appreciate the feedback. I started making this video because I was getting into back-country snowboarding, and wanted to not die -- hope this video encourages people similar to me to learn more about avalanches and make good decisions. The 17:24 is a deliberate callback -- I was just trying to be subtle. Let me think if I want to make that more explicit, or give the audience a chance to connect the dots themselves. Thank you for your feedback, as always. Petr

2024-04-29 19:44:22 +0000 UTC(Not sure best place to post feedback. Leaving it here and on the video site.)Very clear and interesting throughout. I'd like to see size scales for magnified crystals, and for large scale avalanches. Simply mentioning the magnification of the field loupes being used would be helpful.

2024-04-29 19:31:44 +0000 UTCWell done. I hope this particular video gets cross-post traction on outdoor activity community sites. It could save lives. So glad you mentioned the avalanche airbags. I'm struck by the liquifaction-like movement of avalanches. Also by the one person-big disaster similarities to lots of forest fires. One possible mod: at 17:24 there's a segment about the Canadian army using artillery for avalanche control. There's an opportunity to make a callback to the beginning of the video where artillery was used to create avalanche-as-weapons. Only now the artllery is used to save lives instead of take them.
