I thought it was interesting on the number and different variety of shots they used in 2 minutes. The video consisted of a man creating bows for violins and the process was presented creatively through a variety of shots and sequences. The interviews that took place in the video were also well paced and kept the story moving forward. The music in the background wasn't disturbing or obnoxious and fit smoothly throughout the video especially because the music had a connection with violins.
