I had the honor of being invited out to the grand reopening night of a classic American Drive-in; Located in Calvert City, in western Kentucky the drive in had been around for over 60 years since being founded by the original owners and just recently being sold to the second set of owners; this is truly a classic location and something to be happy to keep around. I'm excited to have gotten the chance to photograph and film the opening. This is a preview of that night. [media=x,1920,1080] Calvert Drive-In OpeningNight 2023[/media]

Nicely done (expect maybe the abrupt ending).

Nice to see!

Very nicely done.    Good to see that they are keeping the drive-in in business.  I had a lot of good times at the outdoor movies.  

Nicely done.

Hey, thanks for the feedback. What’s something you think I could do differently to make it better? Simple fade out to black or? I was aiming for a 30sec runtime and ended up with around 35 sec.

Same, I can remember seeing movies with my family there when I was younger. A completely different experience to going to a regular theater. Also their food is amazing so there’s that as well. Thanks for watching as usual!

At least fade the music or end with the real ending of the music or let the music end and add a slight hall effect that acts as a sort of fade out. I normally fade my videos to black but that's a question of taste.

Awesome thanks for the feedback, I may go back an mess with it some but I don’t know if I’ll re-upload it since it’s more of a learning experience either way. I’ll definitely keep that in mind though going forward on my other videos. Appreciate your critic!

Nice theme. I don't know that drive-in movies were ever a thing in the UK, but we've seen them in movies about the US of course.  I was expecting something a little longer

Thanks for your kind words, I don’t guess I’d thought about whether they were a thing anywhere else. Interesting to think about. I apologize about the length, I was aiming for a short 30 sec promo and actually ended up over that. I have a decent amount more footage though and may put together a longer form video for my channel. I will post it when it’s ready.
