Dude - wow - got a tear in my eye - yeah I am the emo type but that was a totally brave film to make and a really hard one to pull off and you really did it !

You have a great vo voice and the script was wonderful and it was really well recorded - and your acting worked too. Loved the s8 effect.

Any criticism is purely technical as that is the most moving thing i have seen submitted in ages.

Right - hard arse critcism as you are clearly no numpty.

1. Why so wide? Made many shots feel cramped. ( as in aspect ratio - looks like 2.2 to 1 at least )
2. Pulling focus - yea I realise it was a new toy, but that pull thing is almost a cliche - I try to only use it when there seems to be a denoument to the effect - forground and b ground ' connect ' in a narrative way sort of.
3. Ditto the shake - decent tripod next purchase maybe.
4. Leaves popping in and out of top of frame - didnt like that.
5. I hade fades as a rule but perhaps short fades rather than cuts???
6. The tweety bits were a bit naff - too loud - guessing added in post???
7. Saw flare in one shot I think - green tinge to corner - may have to be more careful of such with the adaptor. A well placed hand can do wonders.

Gets a nom and stars from me when this months nominations open - great to see something so 'real ' .
