The music works well with the visuals. The original story was much more interesting to me. The shot of the guy sitting is not as impacting as the shots of the environment. The shot at the end is the most impacting to me because it really stresses that he is part of nature and has left the world he was in. I think it was edited well but I would like to see the visuals be as impacting as the narrative.

The soundtrack and visual complement each other well. These environmental shots being manipulated by environmental elements is a great way to conceptual tie this piece together. However I feel that the last shot is too long...but it works well.

Soundtrack was great. The mix previously given compared to this one is improved vastly. The portions of the older audio this time didn't detract from the visual or your audio. The syncing of the music and visuals were great, there are a couple though where the music doesn't have a visual response to the beat but it is a minute thing that doesn't deviate from movie as a whole. I'm still at a loss for the meaning, but only a bit when it comes to visuals but the dialog in the music bring it back.

I really like your transparent shot bleeds that happen during the climax. I think that really helps with your build up of tension and release. However, I don't know if the release really released me as a viewer because of the different shot's that was in and out. So, I felt forced to let go at the end. Your audio is really nice. I kind of feel that you need more shots of this draped person engaging the environment more. Or at least kind of fade into the environment. This was a really nice piece.

I think your music is working really well and goes with the mood of the scenery. I like the way you arranged your shots to create that uneasy feeling. Finally, I really like the colors in your video. I think you should show the character more as he is leaving "society" The sound ends before the song does, so that is a little awkward.

I really, really like this video. The audio is really compelling. The concept is strong. The only suggestions that I have are;

It was really hard to see a person sitting in the chair.

It seems that you need more footage to fill in the time that the audio takes up.

I wish there were more scenes of you walking out of the city into the wilderness and searching for your new dwelling.

I feel like there should also be a sense of relief from the character once he has made the decision to remove himself from a our destructive society.

Overall, your video is good, and I am sure that the suggestions that I have made are things that you are already thinking about. I look forward to seeing the final product.
