World Premiere: My Tribute to Terrence Malick (DVD-quality download)...advice needed

[Tom Lowe]

This is a tribute to my favorite director Terrence Malick. I've been working on it for a month and a half, on and off. Originally I was going to use all four of Malick's films, but for various reasons, including aspect ratios, I chose to only use his two most recent pictures for this little tribute. Some of my favorite sequences I have left almost untouched. The most challenging parts of editing something like this are the transitions between sequences. The audio in particular can be very challenging during these transitions.

This video is ten minutes long, and I really only made it for very hardcore Malick fans. Others will probably be bored to tears!! Then again, if you like natural-light cinematography, it may appeal to you. This video is as much a tribute to cinematographers John Toll and Emmanuel Lubezki, as it is to Malick.

I'm looking for some feedback, both positive and negative. Stuff you liked and didn't like. And let me know if you feel there is a scene from either movie that I criminally left out! :) I'm about 90% of the way done with the video, and it still has plenty of room for improvement, IMO.

The format is Quicktime MOV, length of the vid is exactly ten minutes, and the download size is 140MBs.

Nice work Tom, checking it out now. The New World was shot in my back yard...I am from Richmond VA. My brother is also a Malick fan, he was the film loader on The New World and would take Malick up the river on a john boat to snap some shots. Pretty interesting cat Malick is.

I will leave more feedback when I am done watching it.

cheers
