	Well, while I still have the source footage on my computer, I guess I will lower the music a bit. Also, more practice with compression should help to lower the filesize a bit... I won't crop to widescreen, though. Some shots have a fair amount of vertical information, such as when I look down at my shirt; "Geek." Crowded bathroom = no room for top and bottom handles. I'm glad people liked the title bit. The way I described this at one point was that previously, I was just "I", but the new portion of me emerging was "Me". So take that middle word, stretch it, and then transform "I" into "Me" somehow... I like how it turned out Thanks for the bump, by the way -----signature----- Andrew Hookway http://www.freewebs.com/pressenterproductions What IS Meatball? 8=======}>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For Sith-Lord_James and Alana:

	I usually don't say this, but everyone should watch this. I enjoyed this more than anything posted here in a long time. My only critisisms have already been pointed out (audio levels, arm waving, etc.), so I'll just say that I really liked this. Excellent job. For anyone that hasn't seen this yet, download it now. You won't regret it. -----signature----- That's not he real Ben Franklin, I don't care what Jim says. I am 99% certain.

	That was pretty cool. The music was a little too loud at a few points, and the shirt, while emphasizing your character, was too bold and easy to read. A logo may have been the better way to go, but other than that it was really cool. I'm tempted to try this myself. I could use some time away from my lightsaber films... It reminds me a lot of the "**** you" scene from 25th Hour, if you've seen that, which I think was an homage to the "You talkin' to me?" scene in Taxi Driver. Both excellent scenes, so consider this a compliment. Good job. -Vaportrail -----signature----- Fanfilmers shoot first and talk copyright later. http://www.vimeo.com/vaportrail/videos http://thespenceleyspoileriffic.blogspot.com/

	If After Effects will let me, I'm re-rendering with a lower music volume. I'm also trying new compression techniques, so it randomly cuts out 3/4 of the way through... this is the fourth attempt now. -----signature----- Andrew Hookway http://www.freewebs.com/pressenterproductions What IS Meatball? 8=======}>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For Sith-Lord_James and Alana:

	Okay, the link now points to a new version, as of five minutes from now. Lower filesize, and lower music volume so more of the lines are audible. -----signature----- Andrew Hookway http://www.freewebs.com/pressenterproductions What IS Meatball? 8=======}>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For Sith-Lord_James and Alana:

	Hmm. I didn't really have any problems with the audio with the first one, so I couldn't really tell the difference. I'd probably have to put them side by side to tell, myself. Improvement is Improvement, though. -----signature----- LOL, you really are our favorite fan, Ephisus. -SZier http://www.loukusfilm.com http://ephisus.deviantart.com/ Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g234/Ephisus/poster_old2copy.jpg

	Someone said that a couple lines are more audible. I wasn't able to tell, as I knew what to listen for, but I definitly understand it. And, not to mention, taking up 60% of the previous drive space is always a plus. -----signature----- Andrew Hookway http://www.freewebs.com/pressenterproductions What IS Meatball? 8=======}>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For Sith-Lord_James and Alana:

	Sorry I took so long to review this! I've been pretty much banned from doing ANYTHING for the last week or two until I had all of my film school applications out. That said, thank you SO much for this film. It feels great to make something, and it feels equally great to inspire someone to create something. I feel very honoured that someone would make a film inspired by one of mine. Great job! Solid masking and cinematography, great acting, entertaining plot. Again, for this mechanism to be used to portray your real feelings onto the screen was an excellent reflection onto the art of filmmaking (no pun intended). I really enjoyed it, keep up the good work! Do you mind if I put a news article up about this at PLPFilms.com, and perhaps provide a permanent mirror (again, no pun intended)? EDIT: I just realized that you watched it off of your hard drive, which likely means you have the older version. It has been cleaned up a bit better, so if you want to take a look at it you can see the newer version at PLPFilms.com. ~Neszis~ -----signature----- http://www.plpfilms.com

	Wow, Nes, thanks! Your thoughts mean a lot to me, since it was through watching your film that I was able to make this, and through making this that I was able to get this out of my system (relatively) harmlessly. I have no problem with you putting up a news article on your site. A permanent mirror snicker would be cool, too, since I don't know how long Phi wants to keep hosting it. I did watch it from my hard drive, it's the version you released to us shortly after the festival. What are the differences between that verison and the updated one? -----signature----- Andrew Hookway http://www.freewebs.com/pressenterproductions What IS Meatball? 8=======}>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> For Sith-Lord_James and Alana:

	No, we each have ourselves. Though people look at your strangely when you interact with a mirror in any way more than looking into it. Which is why I did it the Sunday after Thanksgiving break, nobody was around to hear me go nuts. Though reshoots were done that tuesday around 10 AM... I didn't realize that a suitemate was still tryin to sleep :P "Who were you talking to, over and over again?"
