Final Critique

My final critique went about as I expected as far the panel's critique. They pointed out all the things that bother me (color of the last shot, titles, etc.), and we agreed that if I choose to do any more finishing I should address these issues. Patricia in particular urged me to continue to polish the integration of composited elements.

I was very proud to pass with honors. It was a personal goal of mine from the day I signed my acceptance to do my best at CADA, and it was gratifying to hear the panel's opinion that I had done so.

So, on now to the next thing...
