John:

Not only a wonderful, emotional piece but you made good use of closeups (which gave me a closed in, depressed, claustrophobic feeling I bet not unlike SAD) and you taught me something. Thank you.

For a first timer you are well on your way my friend.

Ditto the closed in, depressed feeling.

The last shot with the strong key light and dark background was way cool.

Some of your handheld shots had a weird and interesting feeling to them. Extreme close with moving camera is not something you see a lot. I'm sticking your movie in a folder I use to study difference shots that interest me. I will rip off some of your camera techniques in the future, so I liked your film for that reason.

But if I have to watch the whole thing again, I better be drinking some of Dylan's scotch!

Great job for a first film, and keep making them!

John, I wanted to go back and review the films again tonight and just wanted to add a couple of things. The movie flowed really well. Your transitions were excellent.

It was a moving. I liked it twice as much today as yesterday, and I think my favorite so far. Thumbs up.

This movie moved me too. The feelings of the main character were emoted and came through clearly. Nicely done John.

Thank you all for the comments (Did I mention that yet?) I very much appreciate it.

I will keep my movie on my server for a few more days before I take it down. Again thank you all for the comments. This was very fun and I can't wait for DVC 7!

yeah, these are a blast to make. Looking forward to seeing yours on the next one.
