Some very interesting effects! I personally would just use a soundtrack(s) without vocals for that type of video. The genre of music selected can be distracting to appreciate your excellent visual effects.

You are welcome Michael. I usually pick the soundtrack first and make the editing fit the music. You need something fairly quick and snappy for this video. I'll drop you a line if something hits me.

well done Michael ! good stuff. I'm not sure who you're targeting with this but the Fonda / Robards film title sequence and Discovery Channel bumper are certainly high profile. I'd move them earlier in the reel. While you have some really strong work, I suggest cutting the reel down to :60 - leave us wanting more. Or if you don't want to do this, then consider a music change after a minute or so. Hope this helps, g'luck!

Thanks for the advice Ben I'm going to be condensing it this next semester for sure as well as adding some new animation goodness.

first though after reading comments, "he's in college still!? woot??" so who hooked you up with those high profile gigs or were those school projects? Nice editing, though I would agree with the track change/pace/length from the others. I hear it all the time, keep it around a minute.

I'll be happy to keep that answer a mystery! Thanks for the compliments and advice once things settle in this semester be on the look out for v.1.1 !
