sorry for posting so soon, just got a little excited with my mouse clicking on "submit post"

Its onlne thanks again
 

sorry about that

hellow.. please allow me to give honest opinion:

it got me interested on the earlier shots.. you definitely got some nice time lapse going on.

when it got to the random shots, I was kinda turned off. I think the editing didn't work at a lot of the parts there.

some steadicam work was a bit weird e.g. 01:55

i love the 35mm stuff. definitely stood out. ex1+35mm is just gorgeous.

some shots need to be trimmed down.. i.e. head or tail

I didn't feel a pattern or storyline, or maybe I just didn't get it. It felt sort of messy..

Sorry for the critique, take it as you wish. I usually don't really critique that much. but I see a lot of great stuff in the reel but not very happy with the editing and some choice of footage. So I thought I'd give some harsh feedback cause there is a lot of potential in the clip :)

I find it odd to jump from Golden Gate bridge to the Hollywood sign...

ouchhhhhhhh
 

wow amazing........................

i guess it would be odd
 

that i put a clip from disney world orlando, bok tower lakewales, anna maria beach in florida........

I think you did a good job. I recognized Pasadena City Hall, and San Gabriel Hilton.. isn't it?

I don't think that any criticism can outweigh the beauty of those clips.

I agree, those clips are beautiful, even if the highlights did not have a storyline or emotional feel to it, I still enjoyed the beauty of those clips :)

Mike

wow thanks martin
 

i appreciate that comment, i know theres gotta be atleast a couple of good clips in here....

thanks michael
 

your absoletely right on your comments, i dont intend it to be emotional and or have a storyline... i just put all of my shots (that for my point of view is awesome) more like of a compilation of short clips put together in 2:35 minutes beautiful song.......but really good comment.....more power to you...

Loved it, some incredible shots in there. I was ok with the cutting to the music you selected and thought it worked really well. Did you attempt the trombone shot at 2.00? or was it an accident?

Steve

Thanks steve
 

good observation, i didnt even realize that, until you mentioning it

I guess the problem is calling it wedding highlights - I assume (as do others) that it's the highlights of a particular wedding. That's why the lack of a storyline and jumping from one city to another is confusing.

Perhaps if you had said it's a showreel highlighting weddings that you've covered - there wouldn't have been any confusion. We looked at the clip with certain expectations in mind and those expectations weren't met.

If for instance I put up a clip for review and said it was my new wedding showreel and the clip was actually one wedding ceremony shot with a fixed camera - people would be expecting one thing and getting another - and I'd be getting some solid critique!

My problem with the clip is the intermittent playing - that's not your problem I think it's vimeo. I believe it would be valuable to put some time into working out the compression for Vimeo (for all of us).

Just to get your attention
 

IF YOU SEE THE TITLE OF THE CLIP
'"BAIPIXELS WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS CINEMATOGRAPHY"
Means the company's wedding highlights.... i didn't put "ROMEO AND JULIET WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS" ANYWAY any comments will be appreciated.....

Obviously not Ricci..

Please don't take offence because the comments arn't what you expected. One of the best ways we can improve is to ask for the judgement of our peers. If people's critique isn't want you expected then you need to think about what they said - maybe they were right, maybe not. Everytime I put a clip up for comment I want a serious critique - if you want to tell me what you liked, fine but I really need to know what you didn't like, what I did wrong, where I could improve - that's a critique.

If you only want positive comments then you need to say so - unforunately that doesn't benefit anyone, including you.

I am on this forum because everyone here is more experienced/talented than I am - it's a great way to learn, and if I want to benefit from that experience I have to contribute and I have to take compliments AND criticism as they come.

We all need to feel confident in our work and the appreciation of our peers is always a nice feeling - maybe I'm just to old and cynical to appreciate it. I'd rather just say "bring it on" whatever it is, it can only make me better.

You seem quite tetchy about comments that don't seem to be what you want to hear, but I agree with what I've read.
There's some lovely shots in there, but some of them seem totally unrelated to a wedding highlights video or even a demo reel of your wedding work.

Paul please forgive me if your impression of me was to get all the positive/praise feedback from my video. Coz unfortunately your wrong. Negative or positive is good for us to learn. But let me begin by asking why your critism is all about the confusing headline and vimeos problem? As from your previous post. Just curious about it. Now if somebody criticize about the clip was too short/too long, bad exposure, camera angle was off and so on and on.... And im telling you i will beg for that person to please tell me more (for i will learn from it). Lets not be cynical but be open minded and criticize so others may learn. Again i apologize.

Dennis, again you got it all wrong. fyi , i will beg of you to please tell me negative feedbacks than feel good comments. You'll learn and strive to get better from Negative feedbacks and as for positive feedback youll be content and no space for improvement. So be open minded and critcize so others may learn. Again i apologize for what your impression of me as "TETCHY" coz im not
