Hey guys, I know I haven't been too active lately due to school and all that jazz. Good thing is, the semester is almost over and I finally graduate.
I know I posted a concept trailer of my student project earlier, now here's the real deal.
This is a short documentary piece about a problem being faced by many automotive mechanics and body technicians today. Hope you guys enjoy.
Due to the film being shot in HD, I couldn't really compress it in a way where I could show it in excellent quality. My facebook page has a higher quality version, but since I can't share that outside of facebook, I had to sacrifice the picture quality somewhat to share it here.

Sorry for the link, for some reason the embedding isn't working.
If any of you know a good compression method, let me know.

I will watch it tonight when I get a chance, but I know about the problems facing the automotive repair. Last year I lost my job restoring classic cars and today the shop I worked out is foreclosed on. I'm glad that I decided to take some summer courses while working there.

Watched it, my only crit is that the camera is shaky sometimes. Secondly I don't know the guys' name who are talking.

I thought it was an interesting and informative.

I shot the documentary in HD, and while editing, and watching the source footage, you can see the names clearly. Unfortunately, do to me not knowing a good compression method for online viewing, it is a bit blurry.

I also shot this while at work, during my breaks. So having a tripod, or a means to stabilize the shot without interfering too much with work was almost impossible. Plus I'm too broke to get a decent tripod at the moment.
If only I had the time and the money.

Thanks for the input.
