The first one on music teacher Nancy McClellan who is apparently retiring. This goes on too long, it is visually and audibly redundant after a while. Needs a tighter edit. Careful with the click - this is set to auto-play when the page loads. I hate that.
Up next, we watched a piece looking at a graphic designer turned sculptor. Pay close attention to the audio here - it has some issues, particularly with the frogs and/or crickets fading in and out. A quick solution to this would be to record a few minutes of just pure, natural sound to layer into the background. That would help take out the sudden fades.
Lastly, we have Kuni Takahashi's piece on poverty in Illinois. Twice as long as the music teacher presentation, this flows much better. Note the use of text slides to help advance the story and fill in details. It gives the reader more information without bogging down the flow. (And why are all poverty stories shot in black and white?)
