I love this video so much Lyndon. To answer your question, I have always been a sucker for edits with a story. I love when personality is sewn into an edit. I love background info and b-roll. It makes me feel connected to the edit. The tricks don't matter that much to me. Easy tricks can be done in beautiful ways and it would still excite me just as much as watching banger after banger.
It really depends on what mood I'm in. I really enjoyed this edit not only because of the tricks, music, etc. but because its one of the first edits out there that actually does follow a story line, verses it just being a random assortment of tricks. Also.... the drone shots were a nice touch! Would love to see more edits like this in the future!
