Very beautiful! I just don't understand why the organization would make donors pay for a kit... after first 10k....

Yeahh
Yeah I understand totally they are very weird about it.
After a certain number they give away they make the family pay over $50.00 per kit!
Its really sad how they do things!

Joshua, this video is very well made. Very touchinging indeed. Doesn't make sense why donors should have to pay anything. That's a deterent right there.

Was that the Christopher's mothers voice?

The thumbnail is very touching! Nice work on this!! I loved the warm tones.

I really liked the shots you got but I am sorry to say, I really disliked the voiceover on multiple levels. The pacing was so dragged out, I found it hard to listen to. The tone of the voiceover was so pained that it felt overly acted, manipulative and unnecessary. The message speaks for itself without banging people over the head. I also didn't care for the reverb used. Usually voiceovers have a fairly dry feel which is more natural to my ear.

I really am sorry to be so harsh but this is my true reaction to this piece as I was watching it.

I totally agree with Steven about the VO, but I have to say that I liked the composition and the colors in it. I watched it first time with voice and the second time muted and it looked much better the second time.

I have to echo Steven Dempsey's comments as well. This video would have been much more effective (for me) by either losing the VO entirely OR having someone else do a less cloying version of it. I kept being reminded of the Sally Struthers late-night pitches of "Won't you please help?". I think you have to be SO careful to not overdo the Compassion Quotient in a message such as this.

Steen Knarberg    January 29, 2009 05:38 AM
Good cause and very nice work image wise. But, VO much to emotional! Also, to make this video trustworthy, some of the close-up face expressions of the boy, which does not seem genuine, should have been left out. This kind of message requires a very delicate sence of balance or it might have a negative outcome.
