Nice work, I liked the concept and the camera work. The lighting was spot on and I liked your shot choices. I would I would like some details on how you made this short. Great work keep working at looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Glad to share any details. However, since the film was a learning project, I can't guarantee that the way I did certain elements is the best way to do something.

I followed quite a number a tutorials to make this and it took approximately two months of effort.

What in particular would you like to know?

Thanks again. I like your use of the pov shot. so first of all I was wonder about your render settings. I will look at the video again and post some questions later. I also would like to maybe place a story and link to it on my blog https://newart2000.wordpress.com/ .

I used direct lighting and high clamp values to reduce fireflies. I experimented with light portals in 2.75, but did not see enough improvement to retrofit all of the skylights and windows.

I have an HDR environment texture (sky), point lights, and a sun lamp.

I found the music after I started and adapted the scenes to fit the music.

Nice job and very fun to watch. Especially liked the glasses reflection transition at the end.

Thanks for sharing your efforts!

Wonderful video! I love the atmosphere and especially the end. What a pity that it's not possible to show videos here.

Thanks. Due to the inherent limitations of the project, I knew that I had to tell the basic story without dialogue and I believe that this edit is really close.

Great work! Work like this would do extremely well as one of those short films you see before the start of movies at the theaters, imho :)

btw, ( forgive my naivete ) but what was that bit in the credits about "Moose activity" :?: I've never heard of that before....
