Great filming which really shows off the Island. Plays likes a really pro marketing ad.

The opening Solar System shots were fantastic.

Perfect music from Dizzy Banjo as well.

The only critique I would mention is the the occasional stutter and dropped frames, but I'm sure with such a prim high location it is hard to keep the framerate high and constant.

Hi Ariella,

Great movie... seems like you are breaking into attracting RL clients, and serving them very well. The editing, pace, production all first class. I didn't notice the frame dropping, it could be your flv pluggin/virus checker, Rosco, looked very smooth and polished, great job :)

Oh, the dropped frames weren't bad, not at all, and I think the balance is right between quality, camera movements, and dropped frames. It's a very fine balancing act to get these looking the best that is possible without a mega uber computer!

Some SL videos have really bad stutter and that can really spoil the magic spell of moviemaking. Not this one, though.

I was just nit picking seeing as Ariella wanted critiques. Hope you don't mind, Ariella?

hey thanks guys!

No way.. don't feel bad. I thought that was a really important comment as it was stuttering and in the first cut i had to cut out of some shots early to prevent that.

I appreciate any feedback! As long as its stated respectfully as Rosco did, it's totally welcome and not to mention helpful!

thanks again!
