I assure you those you speak of as 'harsh' are expirienced or professional film makers who enjoy helping out other film mkers.

A week to make a film is nothing - many of mine take longer - and still get criticised. Thats how you learn.

You really do not need to tell us of the work involved in editing - we know !

Please respect the reason for the OPs post - criticism, and respect us as we try to do so.

Thanks.
