    OK – I take it from this post that your looking for advice or opinions – right?

    Overall, I like it – though there are few moments hwere it moves too fast for the music and feel of the rest of it.

    Mostly though, the mask at the end covers his face, and it hold that way for a long time. Either find a picture where he is centered or lower the vignette’s opacity.

    Also, and this is just opinion, the wavy text doesn’t work for me. Keep it simple. Maybe make it drift across the screen, but get rifd f the wave – it just looks CGI and the rest of it feels much more old-school.

    I agree with Aaron. This last pic with the oval mask, sorry to say, but the attention is taken away from the face (half masked out)and is somehow directed to the crotch (exactly middled). Im sure this is not what you want. Also, a couple of the fast cuts from the projector dont mesh with the music tempo.
    But nice look…

    Great work! But it would have been some much better if you made the black transitions before the pictures finish scaling so the viewer has the feeling that everything is smooth and perfectly balanced.

    Other than that, I give it a 9/10.

    Unless you make a technical error or do something you didn’t mean to do, they’re not mistakes. They’re choices.

    When it comes to the art side of this stuff, we don’t always make the best choices – myself VERY MUCH included – but that’s what the cow is here for. To help. That said, if people don’t like what you did, that’s just their opinion – not a fact.

    But it’s good to be as open to change as you are, so lonmg as you don’t let everyone’s opnions make you crazy.
