Critique this....:)

I'm hoping people will give some feedback to some of the shots in this short montage of Kitchener, Ontario.

Everything shot on the XHA1 and edited in Vegas. Magic Bullet looks were not fully intended to add any particular artistic value but were included to test them a bit and match them up to some of the footage for further ideas.

Critisism most welcome and appreciated.!

Great movie. Real great! Got a few questions for yah though. I've got an A1 and never managed to get images like that. I imagine you shot in HD, right? Used any filters? any film adapters?

This is great work for a short bit. You are definitely talented and one of the best works I have seen on this site. It actually loaded too! yah for the A1

Loved the effects of the people on the bridge.

Music choice was the only thing I wasnt sure of. i think it was more mysterious than old town.

I am going to pull out my A1 and shoot !

Some nice shots.
Some of the white balance looked off - particularly the statue of the lion and even more so, the close up of the building with the Canadian flag after the wide shot.
 
I loved the music. Period. Given the choice pf music and the pre-presentation I was however lead to believe I'd be taken on a journey into the past or something, but there was no journey.

Loved the timelapse street.

Loved the building reflecting clouds shot. Very nice.

Loved the bridge with the squirrell, although the transition from TL to RT was a letdown for me. I was figuring time rusing by in Kitchner was the theme at this point.

The static lion killed my last hope of going on a journey. Fountain.. and beyond I was just hanging on for the ride.

Fast, normal, static... time in Kitchener. I think I got the theme, but everything was contemporary. I would have liked to have seen some old businesses, old signage, old murals on buildings, anything to indicate the passage of time besides the photo-mechanics.

Good effort, great images but I missed the point if there was one. Note: I'm about 70% vegetable so it takes a lot to get through to me.
