The look is amazing, the shots color, framing lighting is smooth and really jumps out has a great feel to it. Obviously it's easy to get caught up in the technical side, since you are in school have you figured out how to separate the shot being technical and artsy from being functional?

I believe I got most of the jokes never being in film school I have to say that was a good piece of work. The gel over the light and clamps were amusing. The transitional work was smooth, lighting, look and framing were great ,color was vibrant and I stayed interested waiting for the next scene. The music was weak, but I know that was kinda the point. What camera and lighting equipment were used and what film school is this for?

Well I will start with the good. Your story telling ability is good, it was smooth and well done. The narration and many of your shots flowed with the story as well as the look. The story had me interested but I was immediately questioning why if they struggle for their identities do they dress the same all the time? Why do they look so much the same? The story of the girl was somewhat lost on me. So on to my problems. Myspace blows, the quality of the video and audio is so bad it would not matter if you shot with a VHS-C camera or film the quality is so poor. It looked like there was some great use of the natural light and some good shots, some very good ones but the encoding is awful. I wore studio headphones and the audio is a bit rough, the audio transitions were choppy, but I realize you were probably focusing more on the shots and story so it's not a major thing. The music went well with it and hid most of the problems. Its hard to go to locations and get dead silence for each scene. Overall the shots, the look (from what I could see) and your story telling ability is good. I lost interest a bit in the characters only because I felt like the story was playing on one tone. The range of emotion stayed in neutral or low. No comedy and no real points of upswing. But that may be the story. Regardless I am hardly a pro but thats my take.

First project with all new camera, lighting and sound. Quite a process. Thanks I appreciate it.

This was my first project on the XL2, it was never truly completed but was a good primer into all of the new equipment. This is a hobbyist project. This is all made with friends with the same interests. http://www.savagegeese.com/curtainfalls.html Any thoughts?
