I enjoyed the alien audio Todd. It accentuated the alien-isg movements of the figures and the alien-ish cloud faces.

Freaky man!

Hi Todd,

I enjoyed that. I saw big scary faces in the clouds, echoed by the big scary face at the end. Thank you.

Thanks homey. Yes, the clouds were an intentional part of the project. They reminded me of when people saw faces of the devil in the smoke, during September 11, 2001. Ithaca has amazing cloud formations, and the light here is so crystal clear, to the point of being hyper real

i didn't like the sound track - too Roswell alien invasion for me. the cutting was well done and the scanning of the sky was interesting.

Fair enough, but I think that alien audio works well with the texture of the video. Obviously we differ on this.

Thanks for your input.

i agree with that the alien audio works, i guess i just didn't like that particular one.
