FYI, if you're looking for some real cinematography pro constructive criticism and feedback on your videos check out the Digital Director forum.

For example see the constructive feedback I received on the Cozumel video:

Cozumel Mexico

Very helpful but be prepared for feedback

I read the comments on the forum you linked about the music license fees. If you are looking for music for personal music, try Vimeo Music store and upload your videos to Vimeo. Most are less than $2.00. Jamendo is a great resource for music too. There are many that have the Creative Commons license of attribution. Just add their name in the credits and/or a link on the video page.

Thanks. I know there are good sources out there (and have a good list of sites I'll post below), but I wanted something really special and unique for this piece and found it at the Music Bed. I've since come to understand I didn't need the $199 license and the $49 license would have done fine. Live and learn.

Hope you guys like it. Feedback always welcome.

Went there for our honeymoon Six years ago and visited that lighthouse. Lovely video. Brought back memories.

dcooper2025 · Apr 21, 2015

Great place

dcooper2025 · Apr 21, 2015

Cozumel video. Did some more editing in Premiere Pro, based on feedback from the Digital Director forum and my own nits:

Change log:
- Fixed a title issue on opening scene
- Used Warp Stabilizer on final scene for a smooooth motion flight over the lighthouse at the end
- Addressed Digital Director forum feedback about the "Rule of 180" and using neutral transition scenes to alternate 180 scenes
- Changed pirate ship scene from three clips to two, the second one now does a 10X speed-up to the look-down on the ship vs the cut
- Replaced an ocean scene with a flyover of a roadside bar/hut/beach. Had enough ocean and the hut was cool and very Cozumel-y.
- FIxed a lighthouse clip that ended in a sudden camera "stop". It now has camera motion through the end of the clip.
