hellow.. please allow me to give honest opinion:

it got me interested on the earlier shots.. you definitely got some nice time lapse going on.

when it got to the random shots, I was kinda turned off. I think the editing didn't work at a lot of the parts there.

some steadicam work was a bit weird e.g. 01:55

i love the 35mm stuff. definitely stood out. ex1+35mm is just gorgeous.

some shots need to be trimmed down.. i.e. head or tail

I didn't feel a pattern or storyline, or maybe I just didn't get it. It felt sort of messy..

Sorry for the critique, take it as you wish. I usually don't really critique that much. but I see a lot of great stuff in the reel but not very happy with the editing and some choice of footage. So I thought I'd give some harsh feedback cause there is a lot of potential in the clip :)

I think you did a good job. I recognized Pasadena City Hall, and San Gabriel Hilton.. isn't it?

I don't think that any criticism can outweigh the beauty of those clips.

I agree, those clips are beautiful, even if the highlights did not have a storyline or emotional feel to it, I still enjoyed the beauty of those clips :)

your absoletely right on your comments, i dont intend it to be emotional and or have a storyline... i just put all of my shots (that for my point of view is awesome) more like of a compilation of short clips put together in 2:35 minutes beautiful song.......but really good comment.....more power to you...

Loved it, some incredible shots in there. I was ok with the cutting to the music you selected and thought it worked really well. Did you attempt the trombone shot at 2.00? or was it an accident?

good observation, i didnt even realize that, until you mentioning it

I guess the problem is calling it wedding highlights - I assume (as do others) that it's the highlights of a particular wedding. That's why the lack of a storyline and jumping from one city to another is confusing.

Perhaps if you had said it's a showreel highlighting weddings that you've covered - there wouldn't have been any confusion. We looked at the clip with certain expectations in mind and those expectations weren't met.

If for instance I put up a clip for review and said it was my new wedding showreel and the clip was actually one wedding ceremony shot with a fixed camera - people would be expecting one thing and getting another - and I'd be getting some solid critique!

My problem with the clip is the intermittent playing - that's not your problem I think it's vimeo. I believe it would be valuable to put some time into working out the compression for Vimeo (for all of us).
