I just wanted to share this. We never shot anything like this before and didn't really come up with ideas until we went to the shoot location. We shot at the Star Ranch in Corona, CA. It's a really cool place because it had so many little things that made it more western.

Constructive criticism is encouraged. Thanks!

Very nice! Really like the standoff split screen. My only critique would be around 1:11... is that your gear on a tripod in the background? It's out of focus so I'm sure most wouldn't see it, but it caught my attention. Other than that, love it!

WOW... the start of it was very cool. although the couple's expression kinda blew the great cinematography IMOH..

It got a little slow during the mid part but I agree with Sarah with the standoff steadicam shot. That was a kicker! reminded me of kill bill somehow :P

Credit on you for making this without storyboard.

Very nice.. thanks for sharing this unique clip

@Sarah: very good eye. I liked the shot at 1:11, and knew there was a steadicam there. But I didn't have any shots that worked except for that particular one. I will probably go back and AE it out when I have the time. I too feel like it was very sloppy on my part to not notice the camera in the background. But thank you all for the kind words and the encouragement.
