Great job, Kathy! That was a really nice Ben video. The song worked incredibly well for him and you chose great clips to go along with the music. You had some good beat use, too. Loved it!

Good job! You used a lot of interesting clips and had a good sense of pace, particularly on the slower pars. As Julia said, the song was quite fitting for Ben. It kept my attention throughout, which for a video that's closing in on five minutes is no mean feat.

You may get more replies if you upload the video to YouTube or Namaste Nikki Town, since I know I was surprised that it was just available via download, not streaming.

A couple of minor details: I thought that the tempo changes were a bit underutilized. When the crunchy guitar sets in and the tempo and volume pick up, I was expecting that to be acknowledged with an effect or transition, and it wasn't. Also, I caught some talky clips throughout -- a trick to eliminate those is either a) pan/crop or b) slow down the footage so you don't have the talking, and apply a zoom in with pan/crop so that there still is motion to the shot and it doesn't look slow motion. Hope that helps.

Again, well done!
