Form changes over the years

I made a short video of how my form has changed since 2017. (I somehow lost my earlier videos)
https://youtu.be/IL0bbpJZGwY
It's kind of bizarre for me to see how little I used to use my shoulders and hips to throw. It was all arm.
I'm thinking of doing a video on what aspects help generate more release speed (at least for me). Would anyone find this useful?
Update 2021-10-31 (Halloween): Here is the video where I discuss 2 things things I've learned.

I wouldn't even want to see a video of me when I first started slinging. I had some "unique" ideas.

This was my very first video. No shoulder movement...just arm.
But I had hair!!! that's a plus.
Actually, it's interesting looking at it more. I used to bring my arm way above my head, which allowed my hand to come back behind my head then starting the power stroke, it's something I've stopped doing and am trying to again because it has really helped me generate more velocity/power. So it seemed like I had pieces of the picture, but not the whole thing.

I suppose I should just google this, but what is the best way to record youtube footage? There are some things about pitching and some other slingers that I'd like to use as examples.

🤔 define “best”… I usually use some YouTube-recording Firefox browser extension to do it. I haven’t done it in a while, so I don’t know which ones to recommend. There’s probably a similar thing for Chrome extensions.

Thanks for the update. That was very enlightening.
I think for me this is just as important for accuracy as it is for power. The ability to gain speed while lowering effort (which you would expect with a more efficient form) seems important for a good combo of power, accuracy and speed.
