Well, contrary to Pen-pen's view, this is a beta, so I'm going to do my best to pick it apart while it's still raw.
I like Pen-pen's cry out of the darkness idea. In my experience, starting a video with only sound tends to make viewers pay closer attention. You could try fading in the clip of the baby in the doctors' hands during the second cry and then fade to the lights. (I like the lights.
) I like the baby scenes as well. You don't have to make them black and white because, well, the fact that they're pictures and they're sliding across the screen already denotes them as elements of memories.0:23 - I think you can find a better way to match the "ping" here. A sound like this usually makes me think teardrop or some other small, falling object.
0:24-0:37 - Love this part. Fluid movements + beautiful footage + tranquility = great section.
0:43-0:44 - good match.
0:51-0:52 - the dam (?) seems to be breaking too slowly to match with the music here. Plus it's a rather abrupt transition from the firely scenes before. Think you can tweak it or replace it with another clip?
0:59-1:01 - same comment as above. The forces of evil seem to be a little sluggish these days.
And is that a -100% speed change that I see there? 1:02 - whoa! This is exactly how I imagined this section to start, back when I was brainstorming: a motor vehicle flying down the highway while the sun sets in the background.
Longer fades here might do the scenes some good.1:22 - there is a piano glissando here that to me would suggest a quickly-paced transition out. And I know that you're planning to fix this transition, so I wont say anything more.
1:29 - filler clip? It's pretty much a repeat of the previous one.
1:48 onward - I like the whole zooming out on the world thing. Since we were going to have the actual project title come in at this point, I think maybe you should keep the clip on the hands and not revert back to the hospital room? (It would make things look prettier. xP) I know that the "resurrection" goes with our whole life theme, but it would look kind of weird to have the words "ProjeKct: Life" pop out of her forehead. Maybe you can bring in the resurrection sooner and revert back to the hands in time for the title?
Okay, that's enough of my blabbering for now.
Even with all these criticisms, I really enjoyed what you've done so far. Be sure to pm me when you finish the next beta!
