I am so frustrated, I'm not going in the shark tank

I absolutely loved the ingenuity and execution of this challenge film. The storyline was interesting and at the same time caused me to laugh out loud on several occasions.... delightful narration script.

The rack focus was nicely executed and an enjoyable addition.

I can only imagine the environment you were recording the VO in, and wondered to myself how you were captruing the narration on location.... lav? The background noise was a bit of a distraction, but I also know it might have been unavoidable.

Thanks for staying with it... another enjoyable film.

not upset at all...I'm always glad when Mat and Kevin resolve these issues while I'm away...

I have often granted extensions for technical difficulties, not for not finishing, but for wanting to put a layer of polish on the compression, yes.

Remember that if you re-load a file with the same name, it will over-write the first one...so if you're within the deadline, you don't even need to ask.

Meryem,

I never did ask for an extension, I was in too much of a panic. If I get disqualified I will understand. I'm just glad to get some feedback.

Thanks

that's cool, we will just designate yours a non-competitive entry, not the first time we have done this, either. We just want people to learn and have fun. I mean have fun, and learn.

Thanks Meryem.
