Title: Love the big machines - hate the video
Product review: I was talking with another father recently and he suggested I look into a video for my son that features large construction machines. A quick trip to Toys-R-Us had me purchasing "I Love Big Machines - Vol. 1" on VHS. My son wasn't as interested as I would have hoped, but I can attribute it to him being 15 months old and perhaps too young for it. However, as a video professional, I can tell you that the production level of this video is poor. There is a kid on the video that has no business narrating anything beyond a school project. The microphone used couldn't have been anything better than something found on the discount rack at Radio Shack. And the editing was similar to what you might find on your local cable public access station. It may be cute to use your son on your video projects (I have to think it was the producer's son used as a narrator), but not for a professionally marketed tape. For the price paid ..., I expected much more.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
