Ive been reading the book "In the Blink of an Eye" by Walter Murch. He talks about when to cut a scene, why and when not to. For what I have read so far I have tried to take apply the idea of keeping the viewers eyes in a spasific point with this rough piece. I also added a little transition in the beginning and end (even though this is only a rough edit) because I like to greet people when they enter my home and to also wish them well as they leave. Same concept.

Hi Dave,
Sorry I didn't make my comments sooner have been busy, you know how it goes. I have watched through your, "Coping Video", a couple of times now.
The intro and endings are really strong I am curious to know what you shot for those. I do like all of the low level shots to the ground, you didn't just look down with the camera you went with the POV of the skateboard, very nice. I guess the only thing I might suggest, unless you already did it, is if you could make the pipes connect more. I don't know if you have footage of it, but there is one point in the movie where you are on a straight pipe then it cuts and you are all the sudden going up a pipe. It through me off a little but it isn't anything major. Otherwise I like it is a strong piece and I think it works, it give me a soothing feeling when I watch it, I am not sure if that is what you were going for but that is what I got out of it. Good work.

Hi Dave,
Also when I click through your other videos and try and post a comment Blogger won’t bring up the window for comments and there is a locked icon on the page. I don't know if you are having similar difficulties with my page but it could happen. The Coping Video is the only one I do if you want we can e-mail through school. Mine is Mggonia@uwm.edu. Write me back and tell me what you think, catch you later man.
