Hey bud,
You did a good job taking everyones stuff and putting it together. That was a lot of footage to go through. I didn't really care for the music. I defiantly thought that it was over barring at times. When you had the speakers talk, it would have been nice to bring down the levels a tad bit so that you can hear and feel what each person had to say and then bring it back up when you showed the pictures. Over all good job.
I thought it looked nice. I have to agree with the music being a bit loud but not bad. I would have added a little motion to the still images some nice very SLOW pushes. Just to really make that emotion pop. But overall it wave very nice.
This is a case where its not about what you, I, your Chief, or your News Director think... its about he and his family, both of whom, I believe, would be honored by your tribute!
