I really enjoyed the video, it was easy to understand and interesting. I liked the way they used toy soldier guys, tanks, and jets to present the part about the war and bombing. It was creative of using the balls of billiard as their bomb.
ReplyDeleteThe video was not only humorous, it was fulled with good informations and becasue they were clear and simple it was not hard to understand.

I loved how the soldier toys, jets, and bombing was showed!! It was really interesting and it helped in the understanding of the information that was given. Like Saya also mentioned the video was humorous and interesting! It actually made me laugh. At the same time the information presented was really good and clear!
ReplyDeleteSome parts of the video were a little hard to hear and people sometimes talked a little to fast which made it hard. Overly I really enjoyed watching this video and learned a lot from it !!

I really liked how this group used the jets, tanks, soldier guys, and billiard balls as the bomb. It was really creative and entertaining. I think the video is very knowledgeable and it is easy to understand even some parts aren't clear because the sound of the 'bomb' is a bit loud. So, I couldn't really catch what did Yu said. Overall Good Job.
It was very interesting to watch the video. I like the military props that the group used. It was also good that while the narration was going on, the other group members were acting. It gives the audience a better idea of what the topic is about. I didn't get bored while watching the video because of the funny acting that the group members did.

I really enjoyed watching this video. The use of toys were unique and also gave me a better understanding about the information. The act they do while the narrator talks and the random props (flower) and setting (bathroom) was very funny. The video was humorous yet it was very educational so i learned a lot from it.

The video was very informative and presented the informations in easily comprehensible and humorous way.
ReplyDeleteThe props and the frequent changes of the backgrounds as the topic moves on kept the video refreshing and made the video visually appealing to the audience. As other people have mentioned, the usage of military toys were the best.
Before I watched the video, I had been only familiar with the scandals during Nixon's presidency, thus it was a good opportunity for me to understand Nixon's presidency, especially the part concerning the competition between the US and USSR.

This video was very entertaining. I loved when this video used a billiard ball as a automic bomb, and the sound effect was very entertaining. The informative video made me very smart.
This video was full of ideas, and that is what made it very interesting. The things they used as props were creative, and the acting made the video fun to watch. I think this video had a lot of important information, but it was hard to hear. I think it would have been a better video if there were text slides used in it.

Ha Rang, Dimitry, Yu-
I really, really liked the use of billiards, acting incorporated with the information. Though there wasn't any text, the pacing and volume was good enough that I could understand the information. I can tell you guys put effort in reserching and making this video. I just have to say, I love the end where you guys all danced!
Very well made!
The use of toys was hysterical. They do get the job done- the details about the military situation in Vietnam during Nixon's presidency. The details of the economic situation, such as the rampant inflation in the country, were handled well. The bathroom setting was also amusing.
ReplyDeleteI liked how you guys used the toy soldiers and airplane to help the audience understand what you guys were explaining. It was very humorous and I liked where Yu was talking in the bathroom to talk about the shortages, it made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThere were some parts where I didn't understand what you guys were saying. Maybe it was too obvious that you were reading from the script because your eyes were not focused on the camera. I wasn't sure what the concept of the video was. But overall, I liked how you guys used props in the presentation.

ReplyDeleteAs Risa mentioned above, I found it so entertaining that this group used the toy soldiers and airplane to help understanding of audiences and laugh- Dmitry even made sound when the plane dropped the bombs! The video additionally gave me more information about Space Race which contributed to my overall idea of it. And thanks for the good research about Nixon. I've never heard his name before even though he was the first president in the U.S. that resigned during his term!
Hahaha
ReplyDeleteI loved the conclusion :D You guys danced well!
This video was really interesting and was enjoyable to watch. It had lots of informations about Nixon, and was really easy to understand.
I liked the idea of using toy soldiers and toy airplane!! I laughed while I was watching this video.
Nice job XD

The way they stared their presentation was fun and that kinda made me excited to watch their video. Using toys, sounds (their own voices) made it even more interesting and made it understand more easier and enjoy it. Could've included texts and some writing in their video, os it would be better. Still i really enjoyed this video.
ReplyDeleteThis video was interesting to watch. The way of presenting this really brought the viewers attention. I like how you guys use toys to represent the situation during Nixon's presidency.

funny part my image of nixon was not changed after this video. Which proved my point that nixon is not really well liked, and as well as not very "Good". Still hate nixon, and it will never change. But i love the ideas how you presented it. Over all amazing job.

ReplyDeleteThis video was interesting and I like how they presented Nixon's political, economic and social issues and nice conclusion.
Lovely acting and usage of props. You presented your ideas without any bias for the most part, that must have been difficult, well done. Your presentation was clean and was very nice. Maybe had some headlines or something of the sort been thrown in, the information would have been easier to understand, but it was good for the most part.
ReplyDeleteThis video was very original, of course , it helps a lot because it was Dmitry, Yu and Harang and I personally know that Dmitry is very into war games and such. Loved the idea of the soldiers and the bomb. I knew very little about Nixon, but after watching this, I know a lot more now.
ReplyDeleteThe one above Addy's is Alia R.'s B1. Sorry...again
ReplyDeleteI loved the use of military props in the explanation of war. The props helped me understand about the war really well. Changing of the background kept the topic fresh. This video didn't feel like it used full 10 min. This video was informative involving lots of acts made me have a great understanding of Nixon's presidency.

This video was very funny, but also I could understand lots of information, especially how they used about military props, soldiers, plane, tank and bombs. In the end of video, dancing was very interesting.
ReplyDeleteThe use of props was very interesting and helped me understand a lot. The narration was easy to understand as well. Although there were parts of the video when I could not hear what was being said due to some noises, I could figure it out looking at the toys.

There unique usage of toys and the pool table was hilarious.
ReplyDeleteBut they performed this very entertaining film while maintaining there informative side.
Funny yet educational.
What more could one ask for?
Along with many other American presidents, I'm not familiar with many of the issues concerning Nixon, therefore this video helped me understand alot about him and about what went on in the 50s～70s. The use of props etc was very original and entertaining to watch, while fully serving their purpose, helping us understand the facts easier.
ReplyDeleteA VEEEEERY funny, entertaining and creative video, I like the use of the military toys and billiard balls, and the dance at the end was awesome! The video was very informative and would be a great educational video for kids!
ReplyDeleteWELL DONE!!!
I love this video. It was really funky and was very enjoyable. The information in it was also very good. I like their ideas and creativity. In one part, Yu is in a toilet reading the script. I also like the part that Dmitry drops some pool balls on to the pool table with a toy air force plane on his hand. It was a great video.
ReplyDeleteI like how you used people to portray different countrys like Dmitry for Soviet Union. I learned that he opened trade with China and US in 1970s.
ReplyDeleteThe use of props was great in this video. It was also a very original idea to make up a TV channel for little kids. Thanks to your video, I was able to understand Nixon's presidency better, and understand events that happened during his presidency.
ReplyDeleteLike everyone has already mentioned, GREAT PROPS!
ReplyDeleteIt was a creative and refreshing new way of showing Nixon's war tactics.
I also like your use of various settings for the video like... the bathroom.
Uh... why are you holding a flower pot in the library?!
Well anyway, I also liked it how this video was made for little kids like Maya mentioned. It was really easy to understand and fun to watch!
I like how you included the green toy soldiers at the start in explaining the failure of Nixon in the vietnam war. Also the way you explained OSHA by really acting it out was a nice idea. Some parts of the audio was hard to hear but the info presented thoroughly explained both good and bad aspects of nixon's presidency. I enjoyed the acting for the watergate incident. Very entertaining !
ReplyDeleteIt is easy to understand the information and it was very interesting as well. The introduction is very interesting and it grabs audience attention. I also enjoy the little war demonstration that was showing in the video. It made the whole situation of the war more easy to understand. Little scenes such as Ha Rang with the Nixon’s picture was cute and it deliver the massage.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the video project. Explained slowly, and clear. I heard you guys voice all. well done!!

Ummm nice mask? xD
Although the background music/noise sometimes overlaps your voices so that I can't hear what's being said, the presentation is entertaining, educational, and well-organized. The toys give a great (not to mention funny) visual for your facts, and keeps them from going out the other ear. :]
Great flow, facts, depth, props and (best of all) entertainment. good job guys!
Overall, this video was an excellent presentation. In the first scene, the usage of miniature figures and other toys was a unique and very creative idea. Moreover, it helped visualize the information that was being portrayed with Nixon's political policies. The rest of the video was very entertaining with the creative skits and while it was fun to watch the information was covered in depth. After watching this video, I can better understand why people had said that Nixon's presidency was a failure. By the way, nice cameo appearance by Kam^^
ReplyDeleteOur Video is just too good!! It is amazing.. Our group worked together in producing this amazing video. I like to thanx Dmitri for speaking for more than 5 minutes in spite of his shyness. haha our last dance in the last scene showed our natural talent and huge amount of efforts in memorizing the dance moves.
