Good narrative and sequencing. What this video really needed was some natural sound breaks. I call it the nat/narrative weave. What you don't want is someone talking with out any breaks. Let the subject talk a bit, then weave in a natural sound break. In this video I wanted to hear the feet stomping, the girls chatting and some Irish music. Ending is too abrupt. I like to end my videos with natural sound that trails off as the video fades to black.

Good interview, and lots of good shot variety. I like the pacing too. Do they usually practice without any music? The end is a bit sudden.

That was really good. Were you doing the ceili moves (4 hand) in the hard shoes for effect?
