“Excellent personal story documentary about James. Great work all around. I love that this was done entirely from the perspective of James and at no point does it come off as ableist or serving another agenda. Your interviews and broll shots are all very well done. I love the clothes line polaroid shots of the stills That’s a great way to show off stills in a more dynamic manner. The editing is well paced and your songs are well chosen to drive the emotions of the narrative.”
“Beautiful reel! Creativity in shots, angles, & movement, a good eye for little and big details that emphasize leading lines & dP’s style. The elevating, tracking shot at 0:12 was composed really really well. Great dynamic shot. Very Wes Anderson.”
“Serious technical achievement. There are so many well executed moments and effects, including the picture in the frame at :09. This is truly impressive. I can’t emphasize enough how great this video is. You clearly have a strong grasp of video storytelling.”
“I love how you kept the story simple and character driven so we could focus on the relationship and conflict. The concept of keeping everything in the car was so smart, not just for the story, but for the production value. You were able to know exactly where your shots needed to be and how they needed to be lit. Production looked very consistent and well done. The sound is really good. I like how you can hear everyone in the film, especially inside the car. I loved your use of lighting, specifically how you changed time and location with the reflections (party lights for instance.)”
“I thoroughly enjoyed this film! Having had some exposure to the modern art world, I loved the potency of this narrative. This film doesn’t waste any time. It has a tight, distinct story and clear-cut characters, and there is a notable change between them occurring by the end of the story. That seems simple, but it can be difficult to pull off. Short, sweet, has a point to make and very high quality. This deserves praise! Excellent work.”
“Really nice documentary that really blends interviews and natural sounds together. Great mixing of those elements to put your viewer in that space. Great work with b-roll shots and interview compositions. Editing is well paced. Introduction, text and graphics also well designed for a nice overall package. Really good work.”
