Everyone Needs To Watch And Critique - BMW Forum

So in film class we needed to make a video that has to do with a theme called "dream", where someone is rendered unconcious and has a recollection of some sort.

So here is my video, i really put some effort into it, and i used my Canon GL2 so it looks pretty clean, though i resized it down from 131megs down to 48mb, its 3 minutes long, and i really think you guys will enjoy it. Its not car related at all, but you do see my car, haha. and im the one filming, im not in the video at all.

It took me a while because i made just about everyone major scene in the movie go along with the beat of the song, so its pretty tight, and even the actions that go along in the video(pushing, hitting) go very fluent with the music, so pay attention to it, ha.

Lemme know what you think, im very open to constructive criticism.

Right CLick, Save Target As - dream video

cool. Liked the cuts and stuff. Nice little concise storyline, liked how it came full circle. Well done.

nice, I like the concept of the beginning credits. overall I thought it was good, but in some spots you could have used some better lighting, and manual focus (or aperature-priority) always makes a film look more professional. I like how your not afraid to have a jumpy camera, that seems to be becoming more of a style of cinemetography.

nice job.

holy crap it exceeded bandwidth? damn that means that a shit load of people watched it...my bad...

THank your for the comments though, it really means a lot that you guys liked it.

and on thelighting, i tried to tame it as much as possible with different aperature settings, but it was very harsh, and there were lots of metals around(lockers) so there was constant reflection and such, it was hard, and i tried to tint it a bit in FCP, but i sorta rushed myself cuz i wanted to take it home today.

here is new link for the video:
