Teaser for Feature

I commend your ambitious first feature and especially putting a scene up to scrutinize w/o any context for the critics-what I wanted to say to you is that in a feature (I'm assuming 11/2 hours or so??) try not to get bogged down on any particular sequence and overthink it-even big Hollywood movies are easy to tear apart shot to shot!! I actually think LESS coverage forces you to go with your original idea and play it out whereas reshoots and multiple take can take you into a cyclical rabbit-hole. Remember most audiences will see it once and you'll get a pass based more on story, character arc,
entertainment etc.-I'm actually editing my first feature (shot on GH-1 also and no-budget)http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=27916&id=1817222253
 
Thanks Brian - we're shooting "coverage" in an interesting way. All of my actors are stage actors (although some have some light film experience) so we shoot the whole scene several times from a few angles and do the scene in its entirety each time, I don't think it's typical (or maybe it is) - as our scenes are usually fairly long and the film is totally dialogue driven, but hey, it's working! What the heck do I know, however, I've never done anything other than DP before, but we're loving every minute of it so I guess what we're doing is right :)
 
Is this video gone, or am I doing something wrong. I clicked where it said "log into vimeo" and then logged in...and I got nothing.
