I reposted it, just in case anyone wants a look. It's still 45+megs so slow connections beware!

Shot this for a local Police Department, includes actual footage from high risk warrants and training footage. It was shot using both a DVX100B and Sony HDR-HC1(sd mode). Didn't have much time or many warrants to choose from. It's intended use is for future team and department recruitment. Let me know what ya think!


I've added one more today, it's more of a COPS style piece with a little music added to the end. It's around 35megs

My apoligies, I had no idea it was loading slowwwww. I tried reloading it and I had same issue, not sure if it's a .mac issue or what, the file is only 45megs?
 
Not bad, some cool footage.
I could have done without the 'effects' on some of the shots (green outlining on the gun, etc).

DId you shoot this stuff - or did they give you the footage?
Because the one thing that bothered me the most was I kept waiting for the montage to end, and to get into the 'meat' of the piece....once the first song ended, I thought I was finally going to get past the intro and into the actual substance...then the next song kicked it. I really wanted to hear these guys talk...I wanted to hear what they thought about the job, etc...as it stands now, I don't really have any better idea of what its like to be on the SWAT team.
Though I guess it seems like it could be exciting - given the footage.

So if this is meant to be a montage - it should probably only be the length of one song - it gets too redundant. You have some cool shots - but without them being connected in some way, it just feels kind of random. I can handle random cool shots for a minute or two - but past that I start getting bored.

Also - as far as your file size goes - part of the reason its so huge is that your video actually ends at 4min 50sec...but the file keeps going with the song playing over black for another 90 seconds. Cut it off where it ends, and try reposting it again.
That should help alot.
