Nice video -- you have all five elements, and you spoke very clearly and engagingly. To improve, you could make your story more Middle Age-themed, and also maybe make the video a bit longer, because right now it's only 40 seconds long. But overall you got the definition across clearly, so good job.
Hey Bryn, i like the creativity behind the whole puppet idea, but as tara said, i think you could maybe improve it by making the puppets fall under a middle-aged theme. But besides that you have all the elements, and you define it really well. Well done.
Great video! The video isn't the best quality but you ahve all the elements there. The santa claus is very cute but maybe you could talk more on what it means to you, how it relates to morality play and the middle ages.
Good video. You have all the elements, but like what others said, you could include something on the Middle Ages. However, you did define the word very clearly. Great job (:
Credit.
you used all the elements, i liked mr and mrs claus but next time you should add in the medieval theme. you clearly got the meaning across! credit
bryn this is a really ..interesting.video. I liked the use of santa socks as puppets.
Very entertaining and informative video, you have covered all requirements and the christmas puppets were very delightful. One thing to look out for is it include some kind of example of middle age. Other than that video was great, and this video deserves credit!
