thanks everyone.. I promise you'll be the first to see a good res downloadable version once I feel ready to let this go! It's not gonna happen for about a month.
The indoor lighting setup was really simple. The stuff by the window was a single meisar with some ND (and maybe some diffuser..) The shot with the kid by the doorway of the front room was lit from the front + side and a backlight snuck behind him in the bathroom to give him a halo and punch him out from the BG.
For now I have uploaded my previous film as a quicktime; 'Dont Look Back' -

I wish I could add some more feedback for you, but anything that I could try and come up with has been stated.
The big thing that stuck with me was the wipes at the start. They didn't seem to fit with the rest.
The right to left dolly shots worked for me. Not seeing the plane... worked for me. It all worked for me. Film (aka DV) needs to break from the traditional and expected and stand for what it is... art... created by artists. Many shorts that I have seen are simply good because they do a good job at telling a story. Unfortunately the creators seem to do this by mimicking big budget productions. This short is more because it tells a story and exists as a work of art at the same time.
This is one of the better shorts that I have seen. I know this doesn't help you, but I wouldn't do much if anything as far as changes. Submit it and start your next one!

Fantastic, I will have to get a 35 adaptor, it is just a shame that my steadicam merlin couldn't take it.

Did you shoot the Okbackhigh with the adapter and what did you use for your color correction?

No it wasnt shot with the adapter.. U can find out other information in the thread; http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?p=357647#post357647
Great stuff. The only thing that throws me is the yellow chicks. Sorry!
I understand why, it's just that they're so central to the film. Maybe you can colour-correct them in Shake? Desaturate them to grey? Just an idea and almost certainly a ton of work.
I'm not going to pick the narrative to pieces, I understood it clearly enough, but personally I would've liked a happier ending. This one was very British.
Great work.

The link to the movie is not connecting - (I just see an empty flash player window)
Any ideas? or does anyone else have another link?

It was? hmm.. why did it change if it was so, excuse my french, damn good?
it didnt change much, just alowed for HD resolution. the low lightloss GG softened the image too much. it was great in SD, but horrid in HD.
