Hi Mike. Managed to view the latest teaser and as always it found me wanting to see the final film more. For me the clip showed Larry testing/unsure of his new 'friends' and as the camera zooms into him and the other cyclists I believe it shows him opening up to them more and becoming more relaxed. I think the decision of muffling the conversation just forces the viewer to make their own interpretation of the situation, by making you think more about the clip, which is good thing!!
I've noticed more and more recently that the teaser and Post production videos on the iTunes feed are not viewable on my iPhone. Do you have plans to create an iPhone friendly feed, it could be useful in spreading the word, if followers of the project have some of the teaser clips on their iPhone it would be a great tool to help explain the project to others?

Hey Brent :) Thanks - I'm glad you liked it, and I'm glad you thought the muffling of the audio was a good thing. Of course, I wouldn't do that to the audience for every conversation - but sometimes, especially in these meeting new people situations, it works better to leave it up the viewer.
Oh! And thank you for bringing that up - I used to a pro Blip.tv account and I had to cancel it a while back when money was *really* tight. Blip used to auto export different versions of the HD upload. I forgot that I wasn't sharing iPhone friendly videos anymore. I will fix that very soon!

Mike it's great to see things moving forward with the film. I'm looking forward to seeing the latest teaser which is sat waiting for me in iTunes. For me the last teaser posted, 014 represented both loneliness and independence. Keep up the good work.

Hey Brent :) I'm trying! Hope you like the new teaser - it's been interesting to hear some of the feedback because the conversation is muffled (intentionally) and plays almost on the same db level as the music.
I wanted people to hear the tone of conversation but not necessarily each word. I intend to have several conversations in the film play out that way... so :P We'll see.
Thanks for telling me what you thought 014 represented - I actually wish more people would do that. I love hearing about what each clip seems to mean to one person vs another. Thanks for the support!
