I think it turned out pretty good considering I had one day for clip
harvesting and two days for editing. Probably at some point I'll
further it a bit and do some experimentation to see if I can make it
more spiffy, but for now I'm happy with it.

Its a nice job for the purpose and audience for which it is intended,
i.e. the convention you mentioned, I assume. I'm not the audience and
could never to get there, so my critique is from a very different
perspective (aesthetic) than your audience will likely view it from.
However, I've got an aesthetic that is based on entertainment value that
transcends audience (I love Pauline Kael as a movie critic, if that helps).

I didn't like the silence at the very beginning, followed by the sound
entering as she breaks through the wall of the plane. I think it needed
something stronger to lead you in and go with the visuals at that point.
it almost seems to miss what is expected there.

It goes on too long. I got tired of it, as nothing new was really
introduced, it just became more of the some thing after a while. It
never seemed to move to a point or perspective about the main character,
at least not that I could discern.

I know you were cutting to the music (music?) but it would have been
better if you had shortened the sound to keep the video tighter. And
hey, with that soundtrack who would have noticed if you had cut out a
minute or a minute and a half in the middle.

I didn't like when you tried to sync the music to the mouth movements a
couple of times. It just didn't work, and there wasn't enough of it.

I'd like to see some kind of statement of work so it would be easier to
understand what you did. Is there more going on than the marrying of
clips to soundtrack? it is highly reliant on a lot of other artists
work, if so.

Ok, that's the negative. Overall, it was good and had entertainment
value on its own. As I said, I'm not the audience, but my daughter is
and I'd bet she'd like it. So, nice job in a short time.

A bad deleting job on my behalf, sorry. It was meant to Hatter. Let me
check your stuff.....

Liked that one. You seem to be very new to editing, with all the funky
transitions. For me, picky being, too many. The camera-work wasn't bad.
There were a few cuts which were not that great (the on at 0:46 for
instance), and cut have shortened the bit around 0:51. The soundmix is a
bit rough (the music jumps in level quite drastically a few times).

Funny. Although you should have had a second one, because the sound
suggests much more sabre action. The intro title is very long compared to
the actual action, but then again, if works with the music (I assume that
was the actual intention).

Poor Barney ;-) Hmm, the sound mix needs some more work.

I understand that this is a work of fun, and that it is not a professional
product, so I won't mention the overexposing of the image etc etc, because
I assume it was nto your intention to take total control over the image.

Hatter is, not you.

cheers

Wow! Thanks for taking the time.

Considering I don't know jack about video editing, that's pretty
interesting.



Oh, man. I thought I was a hack.

Can I be a h4xx0r?
