state of my project

My final project deals with environments that are mixed together. Originally I was going to use just the figure in motion, placed in an environment that would be made of simple shapes in motion, a graphics environment.
The trouble with doing this is time and available participants for video shoots and the fact that I don't have extensive experience with shooting with lights. I have chosen to use footage from from downtown that was shot in the daylight and consists of alleyway shots and the movement of peple through these corridors. I'm using the shapes of the building to create interesting patterns as the videos have been masked and layered on top of eachother. I think that I have plenty of footage and I believe I have a good start on the project. I really need feedback from other viewers so that I know what is working and what is not. I have a tendancey to like things that are out of place so I need feedback to compromise with. Right now my video is at 2 minutes and it feels a little packed with info. My gosl is to stretch it to three minutes, depending on what the class says.

I like the way you are mixing the vector images with video. The masking and layering is very successful. I kind of want to see some parts of the video look like your mock-up where you played with the color and clarity of the video.

I ready like were you are going. I love your different transition of the different location we take your viewers on. Some of the still green scenes need work and the masking of the people walking on your left side. Also, having the masking only show the center image does not work for me. It’s a wet thumb. I think you can have something else there.
