That's putting it mildly! LOL

It was put together with a wide variety of audiences in mind, as you probably gathered - but it was fun making it. Thanks for the comments!

At a couple of instances the transitions and montage were a bit rough, but the whole concept of it was brilliant ( i always like to start the critique with the cons and finish up on a high note with the good points )

Guy effectively going back to childhood while painting model airplanes, dreaming up of the encounter and coming back to reality, anyone of us can identify with that at some point in his life.

The fact that you also crammed three of your pass-times into it (model aircraft, dogs and flight sims) makes the main character easier to identify with as a real person, so it draws the viewer in. Being fond of dogs myself doesn't hurt either i guess

Overall, i'd say that apart from a couple of minor editing issues, it's a top notch idea with a solid execution and it's clear you spend quite some time on it, you get a big thumbs up for the idea and effort alone as far as i'm concerned.

So cute...Thanks

Thanks, LouisV. My wife loved when the two dogs switched unknown to me until I looked down! LOL

Thanks for the feedback, BD - much appreciated. I still have lots to learn re technicals, but I really enjoy the challenge. Green screen is an exciting concept -- but I've found it's not so easy getting it to look good! Can't blame the tools - Adobe's Production Premium CS5.5 Suite is superb. Will keep at it, thanks again for your comments.

Hey everyone - just a sincere thanks for all your comments, jokes, etc. Obviously I'm not going to give up my day job any time soon (unless Spielberg actually DOES call - then I'm outta here!) but it's just a little hobby of mine that I was very glad to share. Actually I posted the movie this morning over in another flight sim forum which I habituate more often. After a couple of hours, 28 views, and nary a happy face icon I took it down. Can't be a winner all the time.......

I got just as much pleasure reading your responses out to my wife - and giving smart-a$$ replies - as I did making this silly little epic. Have a great weekend, everyone!
