I like that it's based on a true story. The cut off airplane really took me out of it though. Don't forget what the other half of your film is!

Dude, I think audio is 80% of the video.

That being said, All sounds in MIKES were cut off when the swordsman was revealed. That was done purposefully... as everytime the swordsman is shown, the music is all you hear. Until the very end during the "reveal"

I understand now. Unfortunately, it's easy to hear the plane cut as a "mistake" because of how often it happens in low budget film-making. We are tuned to think of it as such, if you will. Had it been birds or other general atmospheric BG (background) I think it would play better to my ears. However, I might not be the best person to listen to because I'm sensitive to this type of thing as a production mixer (and former effects recordist and sound editor).

I watched it several times, and tried to put myself in the viewers shoes. I see what you mean, and where your coming from.

I was trying to establish what I said above when it cuts back to Mike, and the swordsmans music stops, and mikes world starts back up.

And you are the perfect person to critique this! Thank you for the advice.
