Edward, I really enjoyed your story progression. Even going into the future. You definitely had a clear vision of what you wanted and were able to get it. I liked the color change from sepia in the past pics to brighter and brighter as time moved forward. Cool theme and idea!
Hello Edward!
Your presentation was amazing! I got that the point of the video was the evolution of man kind’s fascination with, what started with an idea of an airplane, on paper, to flight with said airplane, to more advanced models. I loved the way you chose to show our possible trek into space travel and living on another planet as a colony. It gave me Star Trek vibes.
Your images absolutely enhanced the meaning of the audio. Which, with the repletion of the phrase, “We rise!”, added to the storyline you were telling your viewers. The sequence you showed of the aircraft throughout current history, and their ability to fly higher until eventual space travel, and beyond, was emphasized by that specific part of the audio. I also thought that your timing and pacing of edits corresponded well to the beats. Great work!

Hello Edward, It’s absolutely an amazing video — such a powerful journey through the history of aviation, from the Wright Brothers’ early airplanes all the way to future spacecraft. I love how the colors shift from sepia tones to bright, vivid images, visually marking each era and showing how far aviation has come. The song, Never Stop Rising, fits perfectly with the theme. It reinforces the idea of continually reaching higher, all the way toward space.
Hi Edward, I wouldn’t have thought to match this song to this theme, yet they worked really well together. Literally rising from the sky to space. I love seeing interpretations like this. As previously mentioned, I also like the images being sepia-toned at the beginning and then bright towards the end. It felt very sci-fi and futuristic. It was cool to see.
