I like the voice continuation as the picture of big foot is shown.
joelgalbraith
Agreed, nic split edit, letting the audio continue, and showing us a relevant cutaway.
3. RobinLisk 1:32
Nice use of the dissolve feature.
4. RobinLisk 3:34
This sound is easier on the ears. Nice story line.

This must have been hard to piece together. Maybe you could have cut the scene with the door opening earlier to make it more of a smooth transition.
joelgalbraith
It wasn't bad in my view. Botht eopening and closing were possible cut on action options. but I do agree this one was maybe 1 or 2 frames off of perfection...but still acceptable in my view.

I tussled with these two scenes. I reversed them after originally having them ordered like you do. I am probably splitting hairs, but having them the otherway gives the impression that they are walking past the camera position, instead of two different cameras.

I reallly like the use of the graphic. Try to reaize or add a background to take away the black side bars. I also like the zoom effect.

To me it made more sense to have them walking flat off into the woods and then head down hill, because they started on flat ground.

Same comment on these still shots.

This is a very good effect. It is these fine details that makes your video stand out amongst the others.
joelgalbraith
Agreed, nice job with the graphics.

Natalie, I really like your version of the video. Good story, editing and ending. I only mentioned a few items as "polish" on a very good video.

Great job. Very creative. Especially the beginning. Is that you in the costume?

Nope, not me - I did a Creative Commons search to find imagery that was free to use and remix for non-commercial purposes - see my comment below where I make specific attributions. The opening image actually came from Wikipedia and was of a Bigfoot statue in a park - I had to cut out part of it, blur it quite a bit, and cover up an image of a stubborn red ladder (probably for a sliding board) in the background.

Interesting manipulations. Not an easy film to work with at times. I like the stills and the audio adjustment to compensate
14. simviddler
Excellent use of the extra stills!

nice cut away!
16. joelgalbraith 1:16
pretty good cutting innhere. It feels chopped up, but is still working for me.
17. joelgalbraith 1:50
great use of cutaway again to go along with audio track, and give you oppotunities to cut audio.
18. joelgalbraith 2:11
Ouch! I would have tried to find a little earlier place to cut and not include the other guy.
nfh102
That poor guy kept getting cut off in the raw video. I agree though - I could have cut that little bit out.
19. joelgalbraith 2:34
Like the graphic too. Again with cut aways you can go to town editing up the audio all you want to get it right.

Nice campfire sounds to add to the natural environmental noises.

I like the graphic and titles along with the sound. The squeking did hurt my ears a little. You might consider more of a softer nature sound.
joelgalbraith
ditto, but no ear hurts.
