Music has to be extremely well chosen and very carefully used if it is to add any value to a documentary. Just pulling one's favorite song off the iPod and plugging it into the sound track to replace ambient noise doesn't cut it. It's a common mistake of many video creators, who seem to feel that the actual source sound needs to be removed for some reason. In this case, the style of the music evokes the 1940s (even if the song is more recent); this conflicts dramatically with the modern visuals.
This is absolutely mesmerizing. Excellent song choice as well. Awesome job!! I found it by mistake five hours ago, and spent the last five hours trying to find it again. lol (btw This is now featured on RU-vid's Awesome Coney Island Videos..... ru-vid.com/group/PLZY0gh4CnM6glItC0gJ3lbZ2xQJpVx0RU&si=G4O9hpTg5PpuGmgd )
