the piano tuners

[one eye open]

This past weekend... my friend, coworker and fellow photojournalist Nicassio Johnson passed away. He was a avid viewer to this site, especially the video critque forum, but never posted up any of his work. He would tell me, "I don't have anything good to put up." Well the irony of his death, one of his last pieces he finally had done something that he and station was proud of. In his honor, our station decided to run his natpkg in every shows. Hope you enjoy and feel free to critique because i'm sure he'll love that. RIP "Coz"umel 1980-2011

Out of respect to "Coz"...you approached this well. Great sound because after all its a piano...it should make great sounds/noise. Off the bat...all your interviews were left justified...change it up...switch sides especially on back-to-back interviews so it won't appear weird. Time lapse was a cool idea...just would have loved to see them actually working and doing stuff to the piano instead of around it. Story structure was a little weird...like the instance where the guy is walking up to house...kinda came out of nowhere and it wasn't til later I understood what that shot was about...but it held my interest...you did good with it. Just some minor tweaks and its there...give the music longer fades underneath bites so they're not so silent...stuff like that makes a world of differance. RIP my fellow b-roller....may the nats in heaven not overmodulate.
