I feel bad for all the dial-up people who never can watch the vids over 10MB so I resized this vid (and more) for you all to enjoy. Enjoy!

This was a good first vid. I like your theme and the tune is a good one for the clips you chose. Poor Charlie I kept thinking as I viewed this.

The only blaring criticisms I have are for the opening it seems like you have the hiking clip take up too much time and it will bore the viewer even though you may feel it is important to get that idea that Charlie seems to be either "tagging along" or following in someone elses footsteps you need to cut that long clip a bit or mix it up with another view of them walking. The other thing is the long chat with Locke in the cave. The dialog is gone and so even though you and the very astute Lost fans may know exactly the words that are spoken in this convo some of the other viewers may not and it gets tedious.

I really liked your use of the long crossfades which tend to make the images slowly melt into each other. Works great for a slow song like this. Overall this was a great first vid. I look forward to seeing more from you! Good job!

Thanks for putting it on putfile.com movieguy! I wanted to put it there orriginally, but I could not get it to upload.

Thank-you MoreLight for your critisism. I rewatched it and saw that you are quite right about those 2 scenes. Good thing to learn early I believe.

The vid was going to be a walking video where everyone was walking - that was why so many scenes at the beginning were of them hiking.

Then I saw that it could be more. You found even more in it then I found - lol.

I cannot wait to make more. I mst find clips though and figure out why my vid maker is shutting my computer down.
