My 2009 REEL comments!!!

Looks pretty slick. I think you could clean up some of the edits a bit. E.g. some of the pans into subjects seem to run a little long, fading the shot of the guy at the door over itself seems unncecessary (just cut to the guy and the focus pull), and I would try to keep the scenes together with 2-6 shots per scene, ideally without returning to the same angle. I would clump the planes and train shots together. Some of the stuff with the boy and girl seems jump-cut-y.

The camera motion looks great. I love the use of DOF, some of the interiors look they were shot without an adapter and they jumped out to me, but I don't know if most people would notice. Good use of color timing, too.

GREAT Advice! So hard to cut some of the stuff without the adapter because I like it, but I might have to.. Will see if more people notice.. Will work on what you suggested.. Thank you!
