Lots of nice angles and soft dof shots. I can learn from this video.

As far as the content, It's fine with me... I'm comfortable w/ my mortality. (;

Not when you're old; maybe you're not old enough.

I loved it. I am glad I had the chance to see this man and his honor and courage to share with us his life/love in short. Very touched and thank you for the post. Great work.

Nicely done, though I personally would have preferred fewer focus changes. A couple would have been enough.

I've reached the age (62) where a number of friends have already died. You wonder what it will be like when your time comes. At this age I know I'm on the down side of the roller-coaster ride, though my health right now is excellent, aside from a couple of minor glitches.

And I guess it helps to have a sense of humor. I tell this joke:

"When I die, I want to die peacefully in my sleep like my grandfather, not terrified and screaming like the passengers in his car."

The first time I watched it, I noticed the rolling shutter on the windshield shot about a minute in, but not much else technically, I just enjoyed the story.

After watching it a few more times, I noticed all the camera angles with cuts between them often mid sentence. He must have had at least two cameras, maybe three on the interview shots, with angles constantly being adjusted.

Is anyone here familiar with this sort of workflow? With APS sized sensor DSLRs being relatively inexpensive, and with Plural Eyes making such child's play out of syncing multiple cameras to audio, I am quite interested in this approach.

This was shown on the BBC around a month ago here in the UK,

so it should be of a qaulity standard,

the whole docu was very moving and somewhat chilling,

but really nice shooting and editing
