Joel,

Nice work but I would have done one thing differently. I would have used a different font with a different layout. Something easy to read but with a 'signature' towards the ad. Softened shadow on the copy and made the background softer, (slightly out of focus) -- thus popping fonts in foreground. I would also have pushed lighting a bit to enhance the visual image(s) rather than using just available light. I liked your pacing, but would have curved the music/timing just a bit.

Nice work.

Gotta get me one of those HD 1080p camcorders!!!! DVcam sucks when watching HD 1080p footage...

Great video, now I am hungry.

I did not use natural light. Yes, I used several lights for this production. You guys are right, I could have used a different font singnature like more of a country or BBQish "wood" or "nature" type of font. I used the font I generally use on my corporate & broadcast projects....

Thanks for the comments.

Not trying to pick it apart....is it just me or are the highlights blown out beyond recovery. I agree with using a different font. Looks pretty good.

I'm not sure where the "blown out" parts are. I use the EX1's zebra to set proper exposure. If anything, I generally shoot a bit dark for this very reason. Appreciate the thoughts & suggestions though.

I really appreciate the comments & suggestions. I don't mean to sound defensive, just want to clarify any settings a few assumed I used...
