Hi Dror. I actually like the voice narrative, although since it's there, I'd prefer it to tell a story from beginning to end of the video. Other than that, the imagery was very good, only thing I'd...

We have a pretty big Glidecam crane and it's a fact that if you want to go from real high to low, there is no substitute gear to this technology. But yes, at least our model requires a lot of time to...

Yes, it is very acceptable. The couples will rarely bother us before the deadline (6 months) and that's because we let them know the times before they sign. As for the workflow, its pretty alright....
