Very well done, dude. Very well done! I'm so proud of you, lol. Glad I could help out and I'm also proud to have been a part of this. You did a great job!

Having said that, I do have some pointers for your next movie project. Mostly editing wise, the recreation of RF was better than anyone could expect.

1. Whenever there is text on screen it's almost impossible to read it all. The rule of thumb that I've learned when editing is to read the text out loud to yourself in a very clear way, articulating every word as it were. By doing that you don't rush over a text you already know and assume it's readable. If you read it out loud for yourself and time it, you know how long you should make it last in the final movie. It's always better to have text show longer than needed instead of it being gone before you can finish reading.

2. Did you use camera smoothing in every shot? Because some shots seem really jerky. Especially the first shot of Rupture Farms. Then comes the shot of the barrel and that seems to be as smooth as can be.

Other than that I think you did the best you can do with only Windows Movie Maker at your disposal. Using a more professional program might give you some more freedom in editing, though. Something worth contemplating in the future.

I've spread your video around the web and submitted it to one of the most visited news community sites in the Netherlands. If it gets accepted you'll most likely see your views skyrocket .
