Believe it or not it was this post that reminded me to pay rent last night. Thanks!

I love this for all the reasons I said the first time. All the work looks professional and crisp, and the timing is actually quite perfect.

The only thing that I feel could be fine tuned is the sound at the ending. My gut made me want to hear the rest of the "all your candy's" (I really don't know the song lyrics, so forgive me if that's totally wrong)I listened to the song in sync with your reel and played with it a little. After you music ends try letting the song play at exactly 2:13 for two "all your candy's" and let me know what you think.

This first of the month thing is a great idea. It's almost like a deadline. I am realizing I need those. Thank you for your comments. They were extremely helpful. I think it's best to have input when things are still unfinished. A community probably would be a good idea.

Now I should go listen to the song Brandon asked me to give him feedback on months ago before he murders me.

i know it took forever for me to follow up on this, but i guess i'm not sure of what you mean with the music... the lyrics i left in at fairly complete. the next group of lyrics come with a loud and aggressive music change that if i allowed to pay out it would make the reel too long. the lyrics i kept in are..

All your kind they're coming clean/
They shut their eyes, their mess, their scenes/

i really like these lyrics in conjunction with my reel for the reference to eyes being closed and "scenes" (although for the longest time i heard the last line as "they missed their scenes")

you probably won't see this unless you get email notifications. hm. maybe i should make a community....

Hello hello. I really like the new reel. I agree with what Marissa said about the proffessional and crisp. I liked all the sequencing of it a lot. Ive liked all the stuff Ive seen so far. As for the coding. I do not. I seem to remember something like autoload="yes" but Im not sure if thats right. You could always do it in flash, but then, if you're relationship with flash is anything like mine, you'd want to pull your hair out or throw your computer out the window, lol. I'll see you saturday. Tell Brandon I say hello. Best Wishes/T.T.F.N.
