			<content type="html"><![CDATA[@Squid - I actually have nothing against Jar Jar. In fact, I quote him from time to time. I know there are a lot of Gungan haters out there, so I thought I'd throw that joke in there for them. Perhaps I should have paid more attention to the sound design of the film. I was a little weary about adding Zombie sound effects just because I didn't want it to take away at all from the plot of the film. Perhaps I thought it was a little too cliche too, I dunno. I'm happy with how the film came out though. Looking back, I do think I should have added some reverb to the owl hoot though like Olson said. Thanks for the feedback, guys!]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[This a great film Spider. The whole thing is really enjoyable. For me, like ANP said, the sound design seemed slightly lacking. I feel like there could be more sound in general, and some of the sound could be tweaked a bit. The owl sound  in the graveyard for example, probably could have benefited from being a bit more quiet or drowned in some reverb.
Otherwise, it all looks good, the animation, the camera work, and the lighting you get always looks really good and natural.]]></content>

That was some pretty great lighting, I enjoyed it, but I do feel that the sound design was rather lacking, mainly the Zombie.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[What I meant by jerking arms is the easing. It started easing out just fine, but then snapped up. Watching it again, I'm seeing that while Alex was walking it didn't jerk very much, I guess that it was more that his body was snapping around while he walked. 

I did enjoy this nonetheless, and it is quite impressive for being made in only 3 days. :)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thanks Mighty Wanderer! I agree with a lot of your comments except for the one about his walking. He's a zombie, so his arms were supposed to jerk around a lot and be very abnormal. Perhaps they jerk more than what you've seen in other people's films, but I'd rather not have my zombies be the exact same as someone else's. I guess it's just a stylistic thing. Thanks again for liking the video, I really appreciate it! :)]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Ah, good. Now I can watch it. :)

I really liked it, but I thought that the zombie fading onto/out from the grave was kind of wierd. I mean, fading zombies? :P
In the second shot (the full view of the graveyard) the zombie's grave has the glow-in-the-dark slopes, and in the next they're dark gray. :P
When the zombie (I'm going to stop calling him "zombie." From now on, he's Alex) sat up, the animation was a bit choppy, but it wasn't too bad. The only problem was the shot right after that, where Alex stood up was smooth, so it looked kind of awkward. And it looked even awkward-er when he started walking because his arms jerked a lot. :P

Pretty much everything from then on was quite good, though. Especially the judging. Oh, Jar-Jar. :( 

Nice job, and I did hit "Like." :D]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Thanks everyone for your great comments! My apologies for the confusion with the video's privacy and then the ReBrick link. YouTube messed up on me and wasn't wanting to shift the video to being public for some odd reason. On top of this, ReBrick has a screening process I think and the actual post couldn't be seen by non-ReBrick members until it was approved. So now everyone should be able to see both things. Thanks to those that have "liked" my video over, I really appreciate that. I still could use a few more votes though ;)

@topitmunkeydog - Thanks! I really loved how that motion blur came out. It was done by masking out the score signs frame by frame and applying motion blur to just them in After Effects. The other motion blur for the pan was much easier.]]></content>

You're a good competitor level. (This is true I do not remporterai the contest.)

Technically, the picture quality is good. The lighting and atmosphere during the sequences of the cemetery are beautiful.

Bravo.
