I couldn't get it to open with a visual...I could listen to the music.

Good Luck

If you clink on the link or copy it into explorer it opens then click on the 56 or 100 option - should play

I did that I tried all sorts of things...All I get is music no images. I don't think it is a Mac friendly site.

Good Luck

I personally liked it a lot. Nice dynamics. Even the soft focus shots fit fine. Wish i could view it in a bigger window. In the shots of the guy with the girl, I wish he did not have the guitar till later. There was a particular counter point playing there and it was bit weakened with him playing the guitar. Nothing major though, but the continuity of the guy playing the guitar outside, then the guy playing the guitar with the girl took away from the visual cuts and smoothed it more than i care to see.
I enjoyed watching this one. Good work.

The only thing I thought when i watched it was "Man, I cant do this" But now I think "Man, i cant do this, yet". Good stuff man, I really liked it.

I liked it very much although I would like to watch it in a larger window (did only get an 80K version).

Favorites are the INT shots. Well lit and nice colours.

Critique points would be that the small window makes it look static (no progression). After 30 secs not much new happens (might be from watching the small version that I don't notice little things).

The lizzard shots are great, although there might be too many shots of the singer being afraid of the lizzard. One would do nicely. (Think of the cure's "lovecats" video. If we were to watch Robert Smith being bitten by a kitten several times it would get repetitious and boring).

Overall, good work. Would love to see a larger version of it though.

I don't think it is a Mac friendly site.

the media player plugin for mac is broken, and has been since forever. i always end up viewing the source of the page looking for a link to a movie, copy that and paste into media player. works great in this case, although not always.

oh, and i like the video. cool song and a "sweet" tone. too bad the image quality sucked even at the high bitrate.

Thanks for watching and your comments!

In retrospect, I probably should have shot more scenes. I might cut it down a bit in the middle - sunrise I think you're right .

Itching to go and shoot something else, I'm thinking of making a video for an old 60's track, but would love to meet a new band. I'd like to mix s16 and s8 in the next one.

Good work. wish i could see it bigger and clearer.. there were a few things going on that i couldn't make out. I also enjoyed your editing style in the first 30sec.

I like the music! It reminds me to Django Reinhart.
Gipsy Swing, Hot Club de France etc...

I am sure the original clip is OK, but you used
too mutch compression on this one.
