SPEW: Plight of the Woodies Documentary

Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8G ED

I posted this in a different thread, but I re-edited it slightly and thought I would post it separately to get some feedback. I recently purchased ProShow Gold and I had all these tortured woody images that I've created over the past year and thought this would be a good chance to test out ProShow. I gotta say that I am incredibly impressed with it and I am a harsh critic of software. The only complaint I might have is that it only has one audio track, so I had to do a little mixing in another app. I purchased it based on recommendations from folks here on DPC and I would echo those recommendations.

Now on to the film...

Comments welcome on any of it (even "You are a sick, demented man.") - Thanks.

Edit to add: Credit for the name "SPEW" and the logo at the end goes to Palmetto_Pixels. I had an idea to put something together like this a long time ago and my working name for the organization was called "People for the Ethical Treatment Of Woodies" or "PETOW" pronounced like a bullet ricocheting - but I like SPEW better. :)

Actually quite compelling. Says much about "humanity". Very well done, Ken.

You, sir, have entirely too much time on your hands. : - )

Very well done, and actually quite the social commentary.

That's messed up. Funny that is. Good work. You seriously have too much time on your hands. I doubt that though, since we haven't seen a DPC Enquirer in a Looooooong time. *grin*

Good work.
