You got 8 clean terminations out of a 50 dollar crimper? What kind of cable are you running, because I had a cheap one crush the dielectric on RG6 after like 3 fittings. The ratchet mechanism felt solid at first but then it started skipping teeth and leaving those little burrs on the connector. Were yours all straight runs or did you have to work around tight corners in that condo, because that's where mine always fell apart.

Wait, they shot scenes at an actual apartment building? I mean I always figured the whole thing was just a soundstage or something. That's wild to hear it was a real place people live in.

The part about wanting context on what they tried differently really hit home. I think a lot of folks treat these showcases like a gallery wall where you just hang everything you got, but that kills the point of getting useful critique. If you put up fifty pieces with no notes, nobody knows where you struggled or what you want feedback on, so they just scroll past. My last dump had maybe twelve pieces, but I labeled the three that were new techniques I was testing, and that's where all the good comments landed. You're spot on that smaller sets with some explanation get way better responses, it's just harder to do because it means editing yourself.
