I like the fact that the paper is already explaining what the group is drawing, so I didn’t have to guess what point they were trying to explain or prove. The video was set up much like a lab report, and it sounded this way, too. I like the drawings and the content of the video. Interesting findings. I wonder if this transfers to other animals as well..?
I found the video interesting from a broad perspective. The drawings were great and communicated the ideas clearly. However, I believe the camera angle could have been altered to get a better view of the drawings.
The video covers a very interesting topic and while the drawings prove to be a useful tool, the audio is sloppy.
I find this an interesting study, for light to be a factor in mating. The visuals were nice as they followed the information presented; however, I wish the camera angle were changed. Sometimes the drawings were covered up.
Overall, this was a good video! I really appreciated how each of the papers were individually titled (reasoning, hypothesis, methods, etc.) letting me know what those illustrations were going to cover. The images were very organized and the manner in which they were presented, in conjunction with the voiceovers, was a unique method of illustration.
I really like how the video format paralleled a lab report. I think the results were cool – it seems like higher-level thinking for the fish to strategically choose their light environment.
Organized in a very easy to follow way, very similar to the research paper itself. Drawings were good, voice overs were a little choppy and could use some work.
Great video! The drawings were good and followed along with what was being said, and the topics and procedure were covered in great detail.
The audio was very choppy. The video editing could use some clean up. The angle you recorded at could have been changed to see the drawings clearer.
The camera angle and shaking was slightly disorienting and distracting from what would otherwise be a nice presentation. At some points the speakers did not seem engaged with the topic and I lost focus as a result. Overall, however, the explanations were mostly clear and the article content understandable.
Overall I thought that this was a great video! I enjoyed the drawings, and the organization of the video made it very easy to follow along.
Pretty good video. Explanations matched the illustrations being presented but the audio could use work.
The video was great and it wasn’t difficult to know what section was being talked about at any moment. The illustration and narration were also a match. Well done!
Information from the study was well simplified and easy to understand. Drawings made the video engaging. The figures, however, were hard to read and could have been enlarged.
Recording your drawing was very effective method at conveying concepts visually and making the video engaging. You all did well relating the topic to concepts from the course. I particularly like how you all separated your video into different aspects of the experiment/ video.
The drawings and audio always correlationed to each other nicely. The video was very informative and easy to follow along with. I liked the structure of the video. The only thing I would change is that I wish the camera was looking straight on to the drawings instead of a side angle. Overall, great job!

The drawings were great but the camera shot was a little off. Also the volume on the voices were off when the speaker changed. The information was presented neatly and clearly. Overall a good video.
The concepts are explained clearly, and the drawings are amazing. The only thing is that the camera is kind of shaky throughout the video.
I really liked the simplicity of the drawings. I also thought it was creative how the hypothesis slide was explained. You guys did a good job making the study interesting to learn about.
Nice organization, similar to that of a lab report. The camera was a bit shaky and became distracting sometimes but overall good explanation of pertinent information.
This video was very engaging with the visuals and overall very well done.
The camera was a little shaky and the audio was choppy transitioning between speakers. However, the illustrations and presentation of the information was well put together.
I really appreciated how this group’s video followed the outline of a lab report. It made it really easy to follow and the drawing made it very engaging.
This video was a cool concept. I liked how the information was presented clearly and how the illustrations coincided with the voiceovers. I would probably just recommend improving the camera angle to make the video more watchable.
The paper was clearly explained by this video as a whole, and followed its structure very closely (like a video lab report). The visuals were great and the dialogue was clear and informative. Besides a few visual glitches and some shaky frames, the video was excellent!
The content was very interesting! The video was kind of shaky in some parts, which I think can be improved. In addition, you guys’ drawings were awesome, but the color pencils throughout the desk was kind of distracting.
The content of the video itself was informative, but the editing could have used a little work. The volume was inconsistent between speakers, and the camera angle was a little distracting. Other than that, good job.
Used the advantage of simple visuals to help explain the experiment to others. The voice over was complex but the visuals were simple, allowing for both aspects to help understand the topic.
I really liked that each paper was individually titled because then I didn’t have to guess what the narrator was talking about. I appreciated that the pictures were drawn in the order that you presented them. The angle was a little weird and the narration was monotonous but overall, good work.
The group did a good job of explaining the experiment, and it was laid out very explicitly. Though this made it easy to follow, it made it less intriguing and engaging. This layout, however, made the video very informative, and I learned a lot. The angled recording made the visuals slightly hard to see, so that could also be improved on.
The video was simplified to the point where we could understand but also showed that the group knew what they were talking about. The pictures went well with the audio, but the angle was a bit weird and threw off some enjoyment. Also, the video was a bit try/it was hard to pay attention sometimes. Other than that, it was a really good video though and got the point across well.
Overall this was a great video. However, I found it got choppy at times, and in turn became hard to follow. The visuals looked great and it helped that each paper was titled (so it made it slightly easier to follow). Other than the choppy moments/camera shakes it was a well done video that was very informative and well put together.
I appreciated the credit to the conductors of this research at the beginning of the video. The voiceovers were very clear; the only thing I would change with the audio is maybe adding some background music to keep the audience engaged! The approach to the drawings allowed more in-depth and detailed illustrations to be drawn, which aided my understanding of the study. I liked how you separated the parts of the video into the results/conclusion/etc… like a lab report; this helped me understand what was happening! Also, the results were very clear! Overall, the video was colorful and interesting. Well done!
The audio was very clear, but became monotonous over the course of the video. The information clear and easy to understand. The visuals were kind of simple, but they conveyed the right message.
Overall the video was very good but the camera was a bit shaky at times and I feel as though it could have been done a bit more professionally.
Overall great video! I thought the information was displayed very clearly and was easy to understand. The visuals were kind of boring at times, but I liked the colorful aspect and for the most part they were very helpful. I liked the logical flow of the video. It worked really well.
I liked how this take on a drawn video included some computer generated images as well, and the audio made it clear what the visuals were trying to represent. The flow of ideas made a lot of sense and was easy to understand.
I really liked the visuals, and the information was conveyed clearly and concisely. Sometimes the camera was a little shaky and there were parts where the speakers were talking too close to the microphone, which made it a little hard to hear. Other than that, great video!
I liked how the drawings were informative and to the point. I did not like the audio which was very rough, and the video itself was shaking a little.
The drawings in this video were very helpful to making the information clear and understandable, but the audio quality is low enough to be distracting. The information is presented well however and the video overall is very good!
I really liked the drawings which helped me to understand the experiment and how the research was conducted. The formatting of the video was also good. The only problem was the audio that got choppy during some parts.
The concepts were explained clearly but the visuals didn’t really match the concepts. Plus it was a little shaky which made it hard to pay attention.
Super interesting hypothesis. The video went at a good pace. Good explanation of the concepts, particularly the difference between receptive and non-receptive females.
I thought the video was good overall. The drawings weren’t the best but the information was presented in a very understandable manner. I thought the information presented was interesting and the video portrayed it well.
The visuals used were very creative, engaging, and complemented the script such that it easy to understand. The video ended quite abruptly but it was a good video nonetheless.
I thought it was very helpful how the video was organized in a cohesive lab write up format. It really made each stage of the experiment clear and easier to understand and the drawings provided useful visual support to better convey the content to the audience.
Drawings were very good, and helped explain what was being discussed. The audio was not the best and the camera was shaky at times.
While the explanation was good, the camera angle and drawings were distracting at times. The audio levels weren’t very balanced either, but overall a good video!
Excellent explanation of the experiment, but it was hard to show excitement towards the video due to lack of enthusiasm in the video and distracting camera shakes. For better consistency, I would record the audio using the same equipment.
There were areas when the audio/narration sounded kind of spotty. I’m not sure what it was, but it sounded like the person speaking was hitting the mic on accident while speaking. The drawings to follow along with the presented information was a nice touch, as it provided a visual to represent the information. The pace of the narration was also easy to follow.
