Congrats on the first show. It's always the best way to learn. Good job.

Very nicely done young man. Ya got more bells and whistles into this show than I did on my first show. If and when the big guns post comments on your show, pay particular attention to what they have to say. You learn a lot from their comments. I would say the first comment would be 'TOO MUCH MOTION!" But, you have to try everything out to see what ya like and do not like. Keep posting. Many comments on this forum boils down to one frequent comment...................HAVE FUN!!!!!!

GREAT show!! Hard to believe it is your first!!

I don't usually agree with the 'too much movement' comments because I love lots of movement BUT I think that some of your slide styles do need to be slowed down abit. Some of the pics flashed on screen way too fast and the viewer does not get a chance to see the photo ... I don't necessarily think you need to cut down on the number of styles you used (although I am sure there will be lots who disagree!!! ) but lengthen your slide times.

Aside from that it was GOOD!!! I liked that you included the video clip - it adds so much to a show and your pictures were great too!! Looked like you had a fun day!

The minute you see so many effects, you can be sure its a newbie. Even more so when somebody gets a new style pack. Its human nature to try everything and put it all in one show. But is makes a good styles demo and a good reference.

Now having said that, you demonstrate a good command of the program and have presented an action situation with good use of styles. We preach that most of the times, less is more. The show should have a beginning, building to a crescendo (time for a style or two) and a conclusion Maybe a slow style.

Have another go. I will be looking out for you as I can see potential.

WOW! Very nice. I am going to go against the pack here and say that I loved the motion. I think that there are very few times when you can use so many styles and motions but this is one of them. Very fun, high energy place and the show fits that. I would expect to see a lot of fast action and you delivered. A couple of times I would have liked to stop the pic for a few seconds longer to see everything, but I loved the feel of it. Wish I could have been with you!

You may want to post this in the Producer section and get more feedback.

Well done! I'm not a Theme Park person myself (height and speed scare the living daylights out of me) but your show captured the excitement and thrills of being right there

I thought you made excellent use of the styles in Producer - they fitted perfectly with the content of your show!

This is going to be a hard one to comment on. I do think you used a few more slide styles than I would have, but it is your show and I can tell that you like them - and it really did work pretty good with this type of show.
The only thing that you should do is not use the same style over and over.....don't use them just because you can. It really is okay to just let an image sit there. But like I said - this is the one type of show that all rules can fly out the window.
Thanks for posting and congrats on your first posted show.

I am like Iris, I prefer staying on the ground watching!

Chrissy... I don't just watch, I come in very handy for taking care of coats, purses, cameras and other loose stuff

Talk to you soon

Thanks for all your feedback...good and negative...It definatley gives me a perspective on things, since my wife doesn't really criticize me I like to hear the negative things also. I'll keep on trying. Thanks again. This is a really cool site.
