Hi guys, this is a movie I made in a few hours for the Ambrea WINTER Festival this month. You can get to Ambrea by finding Karamoon on the map in SL. The festival is 11 - 12 - 13 December. Enjoy the movie and PLEASE let me know what you think of it.

Very cool and well done.

Your link didn't work for me, I had to search Blip for the video.

One of the best tips that I ever got was that when using an effect through out a video; like your snow, fade it in and out with the clip transitions to give the feeling that the effect is changing when the location is changing.

Hi Ryder, I always suggest people don't post here unless they want honest remarks about their work..

Rafe already picked up about the transition, you may also try using different angles of the effect in different scenes.... I loved the choice of music.. and it matched some of the tempo of the movie... but, it started to become a flipbook/slideshow... some scenes of movement within and through the scene would have helped.

The lighting and angles are first class.

I would suggest, use the first line of the overlay text nearer the begining.. to draw the viewer in... use the second text about the 2/3rd mark... and then show the drum playing etc... this will ramp the tempo, not just of the movie, but of the viewers interest.

Overall, it is very good.. thank you for sharing.
