Ray,

I found the video very nice, but like in the other post, was distracted by the fact that it was either rotoscoped or covered in some other way. Not that I care to see her naked, but the mind found it distracting. Is that the final video or was it censored for posting?

Nope, final video. Was a choice I made early on in the concept. You may have been distracted because they weren't there, I would have been more distracted if they were =)

Also in my mind, though allowing for other interpretations, felt that this way was a hint to her being surreal or other worldly.

Wasn't rotoscoped, just small covering and blended by the FX company that built the wings.

Thanks for the honest answer. I think what distracts me is the same thing like when a facial feature is distorted or misplaced in a sci fi movie. I expect to see it, and not from a prurient view, but as an art view. Lots of nudes have been painted and photographed and do not distract from the art itself.

But I respect your decision and enjoyed the video otherwise. Nice coloring and cool concept.

Great job, Ray. I wouldn't change a thing.

No prob Dave, totally get it. And I swear it had nothing to do with the location being owned by the dancers Dad! He was totally cool the couple times I talked to him that day and though we never breached the subject you could tell he was a bit uncomfortable ... as well he should have been =)

Thanks John, sincerely appreciate it!

Really like this.
Framing, he has a halo! cool.
I like the high key feel to the dancer and her space, and the fade to white ending.
They both have tattoos, its a little bit edgy, the blood works because of that i think. Gothic in white?
Good editing, like at the start then you just see a glancing shot of her entering the room, its very quick, but you know she's there. Nice.

its great.

Paul.
