  1. I couldn't get my video to look right in vimeo, and youtube was a little better so I opted for ye old tube.

  2. i think youtube takes some of the quality off. but its nice, i liked the over the canvas shots with the empty, long, studio behind the painter.

  3. Very nice placement with how the light fades out when using depth of field. For example, when he is painting, the back room behind him is distinguisable but just dark enough to contrast with the action happening in the foreground. I like this a lot.

  4. Very good piece. It reminds me of a funny commercial or something. Good idea and shot selections

  5. This was a nice build-up of action here. It was clear that this is supposed to be comical, but I think the way it was shot made it even better. The CU of the brush dripping had a great depth of field. Also I like the framing when you see him painting behind the bowl of fruit. Very clever. I wish you could have gotten it to work in vimeo because youtube really does kill quality!!

  6. I like the shot where it racks from his hair to his hands to the bowl, even though it's kind of hard to see...Eh I shot it so I feel weird talking about it. Good job editing.

  7. Really nice use of focus. It really added to the dramatic feel even though it was comical. Nice job.

  8. Smart of you to hide the picture from us until the end, because it builds the anticipation and keeps one from tiring and moving on to something else.

  9. The racking focus from the bowl of fruit to the painter was pretty inspiring. I also really like your frame within a frame shot where the painter uses his hands to make the frame. I like how you were able to vary your shot heights and still keep the viewer in the know. The MS of his feet moving like he was dancing when he was painting made me chuckle. You definitely told a visual story!

  10. This was one of my favorites. It looked like y'all had a lot of fun making it and it definitely came out real well.

    All of the shots that show small subtleties, like the one where it's just his hand and he's mixing the paint, are the ones that keep the video together. I loved it.

  11. My favorite shot in this one was the one over the painter's shoulder where all you can see is the painter and the canvas and everything else is black. I'm not sure exactly how you did it, but it was a cool effect.
