"Sawyer - If Everone Cared" 10-01-2010
This has taken me ages to make is and absolutely the best that I can possibly do with Windows Movie Maker! Basically Sawyer is tormented by his past, he witnessed his father killing his mother before he shot himself, and is haunted by the man he murdered

This was a nice vid

I made my first ones in WMM so I can understand the limitations of it

i would suggest using that effect you have on all the clips; that grainy effect, as more of a one-off effect on some of the clips; perhaps to signal a change of beat or something with the timeline (memories/dreams/etc). I thought the audio of 'it'll come back around' was great on its own; i don't think you needed the repetitive wording, especially since WMM doesn't allow you a lot of control over text, and i think the audio went on a little too long, pulling it back would have given it a lot more of an effect. Same goes for the text saying pain, torment, etc. I think it just distracted from what was going on behind the text.

i also ready the story of this one on YT, and I didn't actually get any of that from the video. Sawyer being sick wasn't shown clearly enough, maybe if you'd found some Jack audio of saying 'your sick/you need surgery' or something that would have been clearer, because it just looked like for some reason Sawyer was being operated on.

Keep at it!
