One of the schools I'm applying to this year wants a 90 second video that shows "change" (most open-ended, annoying topic ever, but w.e.).
Here's what I've come up with.

Nearly the same video, with two different cuts. Help me decide! Karma will be awarded.



this is the newer, second cut:

Ryerson Submission- Emerge- second cut from Gordie Rogers on Vimeo.




here is the older, first cut:

Ryerson Submission- Emerge from Gordie Rogers on Vimeo.



any advice (within reason) is much obliged. I hope you all enjoy.

I really liked the second cut. I would send that one over the other IMO.

I liked the intro to the first one better than the second. I guess I would go against the other posters and say that I fell the first one was overall better in my opinion

I like the older one. Except I'd cut out that first 10 seconds of walking, and start where you started the second one.

this was the main change between the two. the addition of more dancing at the end as well. I felt the context was described well enough without the lengthy walking intro, though it was fitting. It just seemed superfluous.

Thanks for the reviews and ideas. +K for all

definitely enjoyed the second one much better. the extra dancing explained how she had emerged much better than the first, which, i assume, is the point of the video.

yeah man, lemme know and I'll see you around maybe. I'm debating between Ryerson, York, a film college degree or diploma, or doing a year at a private film school like VFS
