Hi, all,
I just finished a short underwater video piece, a music video that
I'd love to get some feedback on. You'll find it at
www.laughingeel.com under the title "Fiji: A Swim Through the
Garden." It's four and a half minutes long and is available in both
standard- and high-def. If you've got a fast connection and the time,
the high-def version is definitely better.
I'm interested in any and all feedback, but in particular I'm
thinking a lot about these issues (maybe best read after viewing the
video first):
- Cuts vs. dissolves. I used straight cuts throughout, a bit against
type for the music, which is placid. Does it work, or is it distracting?
- Cutting strictly to the music. I've structured the video cuts to
match exactly the structure of the music, phrase by phrase. I've also
tried to match the music's feel of build and release in visual build
and release. Does it work? Or is it too regular and therefore distracting?
- Overall structure. This is a music video without any narrative to
tie it together. Does the visual structure sustain your interest to
the end, or does it lose your interest at any point? If you lose
interest, can you remember why you lost it?
Thanks in advance for your informed critiques. Sometimes it's easy to
get so wrapped up in editing that you lose sight of how the final
product looks and works.
