Criticism hurts, but we need it nevertheless. I only watched half of it, because it had no meaning for me. Every endeavour has to have a narrative drive - this seemed somehow disconnected.

I couldn't do any better though.

Your next will one will be better because you got straight comments here.

You do realize that you brought that comparison on yourself, right?

Nobody else would have compared yo uto him had you not asked "what have you done".

I didn't realise it was your first.

That's great for a first-time effort. Staxx was a little harsh, but he has a lot of skills evident in his work.

I look forward to your next video

i think he wont come back here
lock exposure.transition from wide screen to not so wide 16:9 wasnt too god.

bwwd, do you think he won't come back because he didn't lock exposure?

krisjohn, if you can see that a criticism can drive you on to improve what you are trying to achieve,
the criticism is critically important. I think some of the comments on this thread are in this category. But for this to happen, you must be honest with yourself -
did you really achieve what you had in your mind's eye? Can the criticism get you to what you want more quickly or more completely? It really comes down to what you had hoped to achieve. That's why personal honesty is so important. Don't let yourself off the hook by being
defensive - there's no time for that because you're continually creating things. Take it,
think about it, and move on. Discard what does not matter, but welcome the fresh opinion another person can give.

hehe ,no.
I think he just hit the wrong guy and now could have negative opinion bout posting here.
Most people dont realize that when youre posting something on internet then youve got to be ready for heaviest criticism you ever took in your life,this is internet and people are more than honest here...or then dont write anything at all and you see all those threads with 100+ visits and 0 comments.People want to be nice and not commenting ,it leads nowhere IMO.On internets you must be tough and not really THAT serious about every comment.
How does it feel when you have 100+ visits and 0 comments ? Not really that nice,even small bashing would be good huh ?
