Video review

http://vimeo.com/4248858

This video is fairly impressive due to the fact it was created in 2 days. I'm assuming he didn't sleep much, and rendered it on a nice computer! It's a decent blend between type and live video, though it doesn't really deliver the message very emotionally.

I wonder why they chose the actor, or if it's just the person that created the whole project. He doesn't bear much significance, but then again, who would be a stronger candidate?

The type is scattered, and while I think the slab serifs work, archer is kind of an odd choice (funny, since everyone acts as if it works on everything!). You can't read it half the time, and though that's probably the point, there are certain words that evoke different emotions than they're supposed to. Corruption looks funny, not scary.

His answers to his questions are more questions (that don't have concrete answers either). The pacing works, but since the writing falls short it really doesn't have the impact it could.

Though it looks fairly decent for being made in 2 days, the writing, type choices/alignments have obviously not gone through a process
