While I realize that having the plastic screen, hanging from the ceiling, to put text and images upon makes sense when one is speaking to an audience, such as in this video; still, it, definitively, takes something away from the video watching experience!
Put that one under " Duh! "; put that one in the `" Duh! " File`!
I can not stress enough how important it is when filming a 'video' to put the images & text, from a spoken dissertation such as this, onto the screen of the internet connected device that one uses to watch the video, i.e., in the editing process.
Please! Otherwise, the video isn't worth watching. At all. And it becomes a waste of hd/sd card/server space, bandwidth, electricity, etc., etc., etc. At least, at the very least, it would off-set the mundane and tedious verbosity of a speaker who is, voluntarily or not, desperately trying to put their audience into a deep coma!
This. Video. Is. Horrible.
Betsy Wyeth was an artist. So was her sister, Gwen. They were not famous. But there is a definite thread that runs on the other side of Jaime's family.
I found this very interesting subject overridden by the verbosity of the moderator. An observant moderator is capable of putting the subject out there and having enough respect for his audience to allow them to come to their own conclusions.
Thank you for sharing a wonderful juxtaposition of these two great American painters! I wish John Wilmerding had joined Toastmasters International. His utterances distract too much from a wonderful subject rendering somewhat it somewhat painful to listen to this discourse.
