This is a teaser for a documentary series we're pitching - it was a bit last minute and I'd like to redo the whole thing if we get any interest but have a look and let me know what you think

First of all, I'd get rid of the count down. Why it is even there?

More importantly, it's out of sync.

Many of the night shots with the host are too dark.

thanks Jay,

Now that's weird - it certainly is out of sync. I went back and checked the original file and it's fine so I'm reloading the clip into vimeo again - not sure why that happened?

We shot with an EX1 (better that my XH-A1 for low light) and used available light (in case you hadn't noticed) but I don't find it too dark under the circumstances. I was aiming for that sort of look, it may not have worked but I wanted to magnify the day to night difference with handheld, low light, jerky images. I'm aiming for an adult audience and I want them to feel a little uncomfortable, unsettled in that environment.

The adobe leader serves no point, but I like it - I leave it on the front of my projects until they're finished, just a personal thing

** just reloaded the file and it's out of sync again?
