Hi,

Good to see you back posting. The movie is very good.. flow, tempo all 100%. Loved the shots overlaying the crane... and again the faded chroma sections in the static scene... I think the guy in the white shirt was loitering for the camera lol... j/k, pity the lag got to some of the scenes.
Depending on how many movie layers you are able to stack in the timeline of your editing programme, you might try shooting individuals walking on the spot, in a chroma key background, and move the individual scenes using Ken Burn technique, along the timeline. Then you can shoot each avatar in idealic conditions, maybe using small horizontal axis rotations, and zooming, to show paralax movements into and out of the scene.

Many people do not use the Ken Burn technique, which is a pity as it negates some of the jerky camera movement, when zooming, or rotating the shots.

However, it didn't detract from the beautiful and touching movie, not to mention I like Tears for Fears music, pity they broke up. Look forward to seeing more
