Rhythm is VERY underutilized in editing and narration. I didn't spend a week composing my LeverMind script for nothing.

Even my recent video had rhythm even before I added the music. Didn't even have to tweak the edit, though I could have fixed a few minor things that would take a lot of effort, if I thought it was worth it for more than just a week's promo. https://tube.4aem.com/w/9f584bde-91be-403d-858e-a0d001682df9.

As I wrote to Winton:

So I had fits and starts until this morning when I added music and it all flowed and seemed so much better. I had removed much of the static, wind, Canadian geese, and treble so we could hear Csaba better, but it was still very poor audio. The music helped mask that - and add energy. It may be too much, but there's not much to save, and his accent is strong, adding complications.

Initially I just wanted the opening/closing sample, reminiscent of the Optimus Prime Transformer, but once I dropped the track in, before I cropped it, I discovered 4 very coincidental music syncs to the existing edit that I didn't even have to tweak. Seemed like fate. But I understand if folks may not like the D&B, so I'm willing to do another version if needed.
