@RaymondSylvestre This film was made as a contest entry. The contest was themes around honoring veterans of the United States. I do not think was is cool at all, but I do think we should thank the veterans of the past who died for our nation.

You had a jib, a full steadicam setup, multiple cameras, and you still managed to break basic rules such as the 180 degree rule. You overexposed the steadicam scenes in the forests. Overexposure is terrible in digital filmmaking!

If I had seen this without having seen the behind the scenes, I would have said that it was a decent student film, but after seeing the expense of your equipment, I really question what went wrong. The Great Kadik is correct to some extent, but your work is better.

@Theelephantsays Thank you for the constructive criticism. I very much appreciate it. I was very lucky to have access to the amount of equipment and people willing to help out on the production. This was my first large scale production, and though everything is not perfect on a technical level, I believe that everyone on set gave 100 percent of themselves, and thats really all I can ask for. In the future, I will definitely take note of the points that you raised. Thank you.

Sounds like it was fun to work on. I respect the effort put in to this. Tremendous achievement in that regard. Regardless what I or anyone says, it is commendable simply to attempt a project of this scale.
