Ok, this probably won't be a big review because others have already mentioned a lot of the things I would. Technically, it was all pretty good. Most of the lighting, image quality, and sets particularly where really nice as usual. Mostly, I can overlook everything that was subpar to the rest of the film very easily. I do have to say, them in the car was nice. Yes, I did notice the background, and thought it was done very well.
The animation sort of fluctuated in quality, but was mostly quite nice. Most of the post effects where done decently, though I have to say, and don't take this to personal rain is hard to do, but it looked pretty sorry. It looked basically like a layer of particle effects slapped over the footage. Again, rain is hard to do, whether in real life or in post, so I don't really mind, just thought I'd let you know what I think.
So yeah... that is sort of my broad feedback on the technical qualities.
The story. To be honest, your stories are the reason I like your stuff so much. Not many brickfilmers take on more serious, real life sort of stuff like you do (well... plenty "try", but that usually means a zombie apocalypse or something, and yeah... I think you get my point...). What is nice, is that you actually succeed for the most part.
As for this specific video, no, its story wasn't super original, but again, just that fact that your telling it anyway in a sweet way is what I like. I don't see anyone else around here doing that... I like this series.
Regarding the most discussed point, the Bible, I have to say I didn't mind it at all. I can think of plenty of ways that it could be way more forced and in-your-face. A six second shot of it in the background doesn't constitute 'forced' to me anyway... I personally liked it, or at least didn't mind it. I appreciate your willingness to not hide your beliefs. You're actually very inspirational to me in that regard. Having a fellow brickfilmer like you on here is nice.
Now for the point I've been trying to get to... please, PLEASE be more careful in executing the ending to your films! What I mean is that here we are, just having gone though this sobering film, when... BOOM, suddenly we are assaulted by some normal credits accompanied by some sort of cheerful easy-listening type music, ended off with a rather garish looking slide advertising merchandise, songs, and some other videos, some of which have nothing to do with the mood of the film. Confusion ensued. Heart monitor was still there though. More confusion.
Anyway, maybe I'm taking a way to 'artsy' stance with the whole mood thing. Hehe, probably comes from me liking to sit through the credits on movies pondering what I just watched (ever sat through the extended Return of the King credits? Yeah, well I do, nearly twenty minutes of them... ) And yes, I know this is YouTube we are talking about here, and that I'm the only one who has mentioned this. I just think it could be handled much more gracefully. Instead of basically chopping the music off, fade it out more. Leave it black a tiny bit longer. Choose correct music (by all means, if you have a really good reason for choosing that music, tell me. I would like to know). Music is like 70% of the experience after all. Designs the credits slide better possibly, and by all means, improve the ending slide. I'm not saying you have to remove everything and not advertise. But you can definitely make it look nicer. It is way to visually busy and stuff right now. If there was anything about the film that was forced, it was that last slide.
Well, that turned into a book. Sorry about that. Hope I didn't seem to negative. In all honesty, I did really like it. I just think there is stuff you could work on. And if I'm way off on some of the stuff tell me, though a lot of stuff like this does condense down to personal opinion.
