			<content type="html"><![CDATA[An interesting idea, that was a little hard to understand.  Some of the visuals were amazing, but were dampened by poor image quality, sadly, as your sets were exceptional.  I really enjoyed it.  I can tell you put a lot of thought and work into it.  Some of the camera angles were dizzying though.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Well, I don't know what video editing software you have, but you can do it a couple different ways
One is if you're using something like Final Cut or any editor where videos can be composited in separate layers. For each clip, have two layers of the same thing, the same clip: The top layer you would use the chroma keyer to take out the red. The bottom layer would have the exact same 'key', but inverted, thus taking out all [i]but[/i] the red. Thus, you could put a desaturated filter over the top layer while the bottom layer (of red) stays in color. In FC you can simply copy the filters from one clip to all the others, so you would only need to do it once, for example. I don't know about other editors.

Regardless of the above, I quite liked the film. I certainly agree, without sound editing I as a viewer am forced to comprehend what I might normally dismiss as illogical or too complicated to bother following. Plus I always love 'circular' stories where the end meets the beginning :)]]></content>

Yes, all 3100+ of them....

It [i]would[/i] work though. I tried it with the thumbnail image and the signature, but it would take forever to do each individual frame. I suppose you could just grey-scale the images that dont have any red on them, but even then you would still have to edit over 50% of the movie frame by frame. Thanks for the suggestion though :D]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[The lighting wasn't given too much attention due to the original plan to saturate the movie of all colours apart from red, and having really low lighting would have made the image too dark. 

I guess the moral here is dont plan to do an effect if you cant get the effect.....(anyone know how I [i]can[/i] do that effect?)]]></content>

The animation was nice, I liked the fast paced style. The lighting was rather bland though which sorta took away from the visuals.

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[Some choices for the camera position were interesting, and the story was easy to follow. I'm not going to say sound would have helped: instead, I think complete silence helps me concentrate more on what I'm watching. At the start, no sound felt a little strange, but at half movie I got used to it and was fully immersed in the film. Good work again.]]></content>

Some people say that a movie isn't complete without its soundtrack. Is that true? Can you really build atmosphere and tell a story with only visuals? (And not in an 'Avatar' sense....)

This movie was originally going to have all colours saturated out apart from red (like in the thumbnail and signature), hence the odd choices of where the colour red is placed. I was unable to find a way of getting this effect, and I really didn't want to beg someone else to do it for me. Maybe one day when I actually start using visual effects I will release the movie the way it was originally intended to be.]]></content>
