Although you have shown what you can do with one scene, I think it needs lots of images, rather than just the one.
It needs to have faster transitions, with particular attention to the phrasing of the backing track and this track's volume could be reduced when you speak. If you linger on an image while you are speaking, that will add emphasis.

Well done for getting off your backside and making a promo - it's more than I have done in 15 years of multimedia
It's word of mouth or nothing with me....

Wow! they both look like perfect gadgets for all of us.
The idea of resurrecting and matching all the odd batteries lying around is brilliant if it works.

I haven't noticed any problems with my Uniross charger.
The eneloops aren't so expensive that you can't risk it and see if your charger is OK.

Peter, if my test are anything to go by, you can do it perfectly well with conventional layers.

Exactly Stefan. The wood grain in the door was the thing that impressed me most also.
But I am also very pleased with the quality of the noise on the silver around the apple logo on the second one. To me this now looks like film grain, which I love, instead of the detestable smudgy digital noise.
yey!

No I didn't align them.
The camera was sat firmly on the desk so the images were identical.
The test was by no means conclusive and both images are heaps better than the original.
I love learning stuff

Thanks for the extra tip Stefan.
For anyone still wondering about all this, I had another little play and knocked up this comparison of manual stacking versus median stack mode (mean was slightly worse for this image)
top half is manual, bottom is median. (make sure your browser hasn't resized them)
on this image at least, the manual method created a pleasant fine grain and sharp image, but the auto mode created a softer, less noisy, but less pleasant image. (like noise reduction)
