Hey Michael,

I really enjoyed this piece. I watched it about 5 times. I loved the simple interior lighting and the use of the fall colors and horse in the exteriors. That girl has a haunting, enigmatic quality about her as well. Nice morph at 00:40.

At first I thought that the drawer move in at 1:45 was a bit jarring given that everything had been circling counter clockwise but then as the drama builds you change edit styles somewhat so in the end it fits without complaint.

This is a great example of the 5d at it's best in low light using relatively shallow dof. It's also a great example of the styles of the video and the song working seamlessly together.

All in all, great work. I look forward to seeing more.

Looks fabulous? How much time did you spend tweaking the colors in post?

What did you edit on?

Where does one get the burned film effect?

Cheers,

Sterling

thanks for the feedback! I edit on FCP and used magic bullet to grade. The film effect is stock footage.
