A Casualty of the Promiseland

This rocks. Love that eerie bass track and guitar in the background, that makes it.

Fantastic.

I liked the way you didn't "polish it up" because it would be hiding the full effect.

I like this video,If you watch, he even says he chose to come out on the streets. It is very interesting, He is so articulate. You would figure that a homeless man would not be so eloquent.

Wow. I would love to know why he chose to be on the streets (if he told you), but its still a great piece. GL

he is so articulate and honest. it's a beautiful piece. I'm curious to know what drew you to him at first. GL.

Just because this looks so good it should get picked up right away. Since it's also got a good story, I don't even know why we're even voting! U do good work. I'm jealous. Look forward to more of your stuff. GL.

Im am supremely impressed, fantastically articulate and stunning. Please do more!! Green light.

Please check out my first vid launch, We Create! Thank you.

Hi, Thanks for your comments, yeh i agree editing is like trying to dance, thankfully i'm a better editor than dancer. I loved this piece. Very warm insight, nicely shot and edited, kept me hooked in till the end. All the more impressive with the constraints of being within a competition environment. Great work which i say Green Light to! oh and on that subject being new... I've noticed that on my work and yours, several people put the words GL in the review but then don't hit the GL button. Is this some cynical practice for trying to get votes without giving them, or am i missing something... ps i actually belive what i say and hit the button.... ronnie

Thanks for clearing up the GL situation... (not that I'm paranoid, well not very...) when i look at your page now it's showing i voted for you twice.. well it was worth two votes! Good luck in all your endeavours and stay in touch.

honest!

how many Gulf War vets are on the streets? like this vietnam vet is he is a very good ex sample of curupted politics of the last war we are taught and bread that fighting a war is apart of freedom after you see all the ppl dying and handicapp was it worth fighting a war that is just so unjust

And yours hasn't showed on mine.. Here's what i see... when i go to this page it shows me your film has been greenlight by Neavers and ronjon2020 (me). When i look at your profile page it says you have not handed out any greenlights to anyone. On my profile page it shows the greenlights i have awarded (4). on my film page it shows only one greenlight from myself. (it was a mistake) After 1 day i have totally lost confidence in the voting system, I'll write to the administrator for clarification. Thanks for your help.

I can see about four people on your page who have given a green light, but it's not showing up on your stats...

When i logged out and came back to have another look i can now see everything... your vote for me mine for you etc.. hope you can now see also.. let this be an end to it.. all the best. If i ever come to New York I'd love to meet up with you... stay in touch ®

I'll stop hogging your comments board after this. You might want to submit a shorter edit 4-5 mins to Channel Four - four docs here in UK. Accepted submissions are considered for broadcast. I think you'd have a good chance...

Hey, thanks for the comment. You've got a really good piece here and it certainly doesnt need a voiceover, although maybe you could trim it a bit for Current, but of course cutting down is the hardest part. The simple text works just as well as a voiceover would, its best just to let their words stand on their own.

I cannot stand doing voiceover work but sometimes you just have to suck it up and do it. The more you do, the more you'll get better and get used to it. I shoot and edit everything myself so I dont have the option of anyone else. Just remember to talk slow and out of the countless takes, you'll piece together one that works...

Wesley, thanks for the feedback on my pod. This piece was very nice. The original music was perfect for the emotional tone and grittiness of the canvas.

With the topic being Faith, I wish I learned even more about our character. Instead of talking about the war, what about his hopes? What does he think about the people that walk by him every day, the american people? Does he have faith that he'll live much longer within his current lifestyle? These are just off the top of my head, but I like the way you captured his past and teach us how anyone can end up somewhere hard like the streets, even after going to church, school, and military.

Keep it up.

some really terrific shots! and, the original music is superbly fantastic. keep the faith man, keep believing. gl from kendallfresh.

Beautiful. GL. You have some incredible shots, depth, and attention to detail. Well shot.
