Was this transfered from super 8? I think a slightly distorted fairground musical score would have added to the slightly dreamlike visuals.

Hay, rampant soundtrack - did you record it yourself? I love the use of ambient sounds like the pigeon.

hard to criticise the plot as it did what you expected it to do, it went round. the colouring was pretty cool.

Hi thanks guys, its great to have constructive critiscism and encouragement. ..maybe the best is yet to come :) Sound does make a difference doesn't it.

I would have liked to see this one having more structure. Very good idea, really liked it. But 1 minute of that was a bit too long, I believe. But you're a genious! :-)

Uncomfortable use of colour and music (very subtle) could have been used. I understood the idea though.

i can see what the idea was, but it failed. Perhaps weird noises and music might have helped. But i would like to see more from mr fletcher.

Hey, simple film. that sort of stuff needs at least some music to add some emotion into it though. - I do understand that you are trying to create mood without it. - Fair play.
