Slideshow Gallery Critique

-This link goes to the slideshow with audio. The slideshow was mostly just the pictures he took with his camera that he was describing in the beginning of the video. The audio was him saying how he got all of the pictures and which camera he used for each one, the lighting, and the methods he used for each and every picture. It wasn't really storytelling it was more of just background on the process instead of describing the background of the picture and the story behind it.

-This link is the no audio slideshow and it was filled with fine art screen-savers. I found it very boring and there was no real story to it, seeing as how it was just a bunch of pictures

-This link is the photo gallery one, it is just pictures like the no audio slideshow, and it was just as boring with no story.

All these are good but I found that the one with audio was more entertaining and kept me more focused on it. The ones with no audio are boring and don't tell a story so people would more than likely just get bored within the first few minutes and leave the video. Having things with audio is definitely the better route to take when making a slideshow or doing anything people would watch.
