Cinematography is fine, better than what I could do. Very nice. I especially like the use of numerous close-ups.

I did notice some parts where it was rough handheld footage, and whether or not this was artistic license, it didn't really work out. It looked like a shaky camera, not an effect.

Video technical aspects. Few flaws. Some jerking here and there, very obnoxious to me. Looks like a bad framerate conversion. And then the video is noisy, looks like lack of bitrate, maybe bad quantization setting.

Music is good. Clean audio technically, too.

Effects, mostly good. I saw some sloppy breaks a couple times where the transition was not in sync with the video. It would lift off the clip before the clip was done playing.

Location, too much footage inside the car. Cars are boring unless they are racing or exploding. Same for talking on a phone. Looking sideways out a car window going down the highway gives me a headache, same here.

Overall, I like it.

thnx for your constructive criticism. i agree to everything you said, besides the quantity of footage inside the car.
In my opinion it is needed to continue the story to the point where he goes to the little church to light the candle.

damn, LORDSMURF pretty much sums it up. Video is WAYYYY better than I could do though, nice work!

I have to agree with Lordsmurf. Perhaps if you mixed some exterior shots of the car going down the roadway it would convey the same idea without the nauseating effects of watching out-of-focus trees whizzing by.
Overall, I liked it alot (even if I don't understand the language).

Pretty much the same, I did like it...

The handheld scenes need to be a little less handheld. As far as the car, I get the impression that you needed to take up more time till the end of the song, not necessarily to get to the church. Driving wass about 1 1/2 minutes (Driving from 2:14 to 3:40ish). Something else would make it better.

I did like the locations you picked for the various scenes, worked very well.

Really really well done. I got a little bored though. I agree with the comment about the car drive.
