Oppose - This could be a useful VI, except that video clips are unfortunately not accepted at VIC. However, as an FP candidate, I'm finding it a bit boring. I would have suggested editing out the time that the train is in tunnels (or all but the time needed to sufficiently identify the tunnel on the screen and show the entrance and exit from it). I'm also really bothered by the picture quality. It's really too light and quite blown in places. If the picture quality were the video equivalent of photos by Kabelleger, I might find the clip captivating even while waiting for the train to get out of the tunnel. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 02:06, 25 September 2017 (UTC)- Oppose Starts out with overexposed shot and continues in rather low quality. The slow pace makes it look like a bad version of those "slow TV" films the Norwegiens are so fond of making and that's not working as an FP. --cart-Talk 09:07, 25 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose per cart. This video does suggest what might be possible with a drone, but in addition to the camera's inability to handle the high contrast at the start, it demonstrates that the moving image is not enough. It needs to be edited. Daniel Case (talk) 00:08, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
- Oppose As said above. --Mile (talk) 09:33, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
Question Thank you @Ikan Kekek, W.carter, Daniel Case, and PetarM: for your reviews. I agree that the video is overexposed at the beginning and that it's boring. I don't want to cut it for documentary purposes (show the whole journey in real-time). I have also absolutely no problem with it, that it will not become a featured media. I just nominated it because it got far the most positive comments of all my videos on youtube.
However, what I don't unterstand is why you think that the quality is not good? Did you look at the video in full resolution (bottom right in the player)? It is 4k (3'840 × 2'160 Pixel), a resolution that most monitors are not even able to reproduce and some computers are not able to process.--Capricorn4049 (talk) 21:59, 28 September 2017 (UTC)
- Yes, at full screen. -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 07:58, 29 September 2017 (UTC)
- Full screen ≠ full resolution --Capricorn4049 (talk) 21:28, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
