APPARENTLY this vid is "not 'WOW'"

Laura, you already know my thoughts on this one.

I've lost my ability to wow Warren...i think it was quiting smoking, I must have derived all my vidding skills from nicotine

Another quality vid by Laura! Not sure I care for the song or the Sawyer, but it's very well done as usual.

I liked the intercuting of Sawyer walking up and shooting the shrimp dude and the slow zoom out of him clutching the letter - then him jerking awake. All the cuts feel natural... it's professional quality.

oh and I like the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue Kate in your new sig banner.

DAMN that was good!

Loved the quick mid-scene cuts, they work surprisingly well.

You never fail to impress me, Laura

OK, the Clint vid is almost 100% planned out, which is good. I haven't really gotten started with editing it yet as I've just finished reencoding all my vids and have FINALLY gotten the hang of Premiere enough to actually MAKE a vid! I'm hoping to get a good chunk done on the weekend. My vid attentions are being split between it and a Jack vid I'm working on at the moment so I'm not sure which one I'll be completing first. I'll let you know as SOON as I'm done

Terrific video! Good song.
I just love the editing in this vid.

Well, since this was about a character I'm not fond of at all --

Okay, I can't type that with a straight face...

You know how I feel about my scruffy, nerf-herder Southern boy so I won't even try to pretend differently!

That said, however, I really liked this vid for its moody quality. Very atmospheric and cool! Really nice use of black and white spread throughout (I would imagine that's a technique that would be easy to overdo without realizing it). Are you still just using WMM, Laura? I don't even have to ask what version because I know it can't be 1 or there would be no such thing as b&w effects!

Anyway, great job! And you know there's nothing I enjoy more than having a Jater come for a visit to the Dark Side Which Is Sawyer (Motto: Like The Gravitational Pull Of The Sun, You Cannot Resist...THE DIMPLES...

). Mwaa-ha-haaaaa!

Again this rocked. I still haven't figured out why I haven't commented on this yet. Maybe you should change the LOL in the description dude. People will think it's a comedy. Oh well, then you can surprise them.

Fantastic video! Watching this video is the one of reasons I became to interested in Sawyer's character. The song matches his past life perfectly. Wonderful work![/i]
