Thanks for sharing that. It'd be nice if more people would share some 
of the "sketch" projects here. When I get some time, I'll try to put up 
one. You mentioned Digital Performer. Does that mean you composed the 
music yourself?

Anyway, I take it you're open to comments. Don't take these to heart. 
They are just some of my ideas for improvement.

1. Use a tripod more often.

2. Shorter is better. Some of the clips were a bit long. The general 
rule is give us enough to "get it", but not much more. I would point to 
the opening clip in your first movie. It seems to drag, and you could 
loose the interest of your audience before you get them hooked. The 
scene where the snowplow is being uncovered seems a bit long too.

That said, it's interesting to see what goes on in the lives of the 
members of this group. Have you read anything by Michael Rubin? He has 
some good stuff about video sketches in Beginner's Final Cut Pro and 
The Little Digital Video Book.

Looking forward to seeing more,
Daniel
