Heavy Menace Gate Key Input

WHY DID I MAKE IT?

Empress' pedals tend to have features that other pedals in their class don't. Since they're not common features, people either don't know about them, or are too scared to use them (or both)!

THE GOAL

I needed to show how the Gate Key works, why you would use it, and how you would use it.

Since the pedal appeals to heavy metal players, I also needed to write music that they would connect with. 

POST-MORTEM

Overall, I'm still happy with a lot of this clip's components! The music and audio sound good and clearly illustrate the point I was going for, and the point is made fairly quickly.

I would like to revisit the lighting setup and the subtitle colour/placement, though. 

For the lighting, I'm well-lit but there are a lot of harsh shadows in the set that are distracting and could be softened. 

The subtitles are borderline difficult to read; I would like to put a transparent black "card" behind them to help them stand out, or try a blue-tinted font colour to separate from the warm-toned footage.
