The task was to create the best video about how to play Go. The success of the video relies largely on a good script, filming, and editing. I was responsible for filming and editing.
We decided not to use music and to keep the general editing simple, but to use every opportunity to showcase the principles through animations and sound design.
The end result is a series of short videos packed with animations, and the main video explaining the rules has been the number one in its niche on YouTube since the day it was published.
We received hundreds of positive comments. Here are a handful of them:
Very well done indeed! I especially liked the various animations - they livened up the topic and keeps the viewer engaged (yes, we are all goldfish :)).
Beautifully done video! The best I've seen. Incredible animations, good angles of photography, you stick to the essentials and you're obviously very prepared and don't go "um" all the time or interject with irrelevant comments. Very professional. I'm very impressed!
best production value. first time watching a go related video and i didn't know how to play it. only watched hikaru no go anime few years back. This video is just pure quality. i. swear i wanted to check the view count on this video so many times and was massively dissappointed at how this works. i can't blame youtube because go is not a very popular game it seems. However, this is the kind of tutorial any topic in the world needs. - planning of the video = 100% - execution of the tutorial = 100% - visual appeal = 100% i mean look at how the man is sitting there and the pieces are covering the board one after another to illustrate what the man is saying: "if we keep moving forward" : 1:26
