Thanks guys... I thought this thread was dead already. The product you saw was the rough draft, and already a couple of the changes suggested here have already been made! I really, REALL appreciate the comments though... too many people look at this stuff in class and say either "cool" or nothing at all. So it's great to get real feedback from actual fans!
In response to the critiques:

I know I cant do that kinda stuff... ;)
Really? The song (Falling From the Sky by VAST) was the one thing I actually did get comments about and it it was resoundingly positive.
I was going to change it, because I
kind of
agree with you, but I was told not to. Then I started to go through my catalogue of 9,576 songs looking for a replacement, got to about 576 and said, "screw it, I'm sticking with it!"

Maybe a faster pace and song with artwork that's a little more realistic or airbrushed would have me cursing the filmmakers for not using fan made stuff (But these are really only my own personal tastes)
Like Skyhawk said, I can't do this type of stuff either, But these are my suggestions
Very politically correct post!
I agree, too slow paced. The final draft is faster, and could probably be sped up even more (which I'll work on while on break). I've also added a few more effects to it which I were told may be a bit too edgy... we'll see.
The artwork, on the other hand has to stay. We were told not to use still photos because they'd probably be too low-res. So we had to either use
actual footage
or do our own artwork. I was the only one that attempted the artwork (I go to an art school with a bunch of people that can't draw, go figure), so the minute it started everyone was all ooh & aahh... and after that I got no real critique.

Yes! Good eye. The font did suck! Place holder font of
Arial Black
until I could make a final decision as to what font I wanted to go with. I chose
Bank Gothic Medium
for the final draft... much more fitting all around!

Very nice work
FYI: I have some video/film training and as a suggestion you should always make the directors credit stand out from the other credits! watch any movie and you will see this in practice. It's always a little different in some way. Anyway it's just a suggestion and in no way meant to take away from the nice job you have already done.
I'm one of those folks... I hope it's good, and don't want to pass judgement too soon...
I agree and have done something (I think) is very cool when Sommers name appears on screen. Thanks for the compliments!
