Nice 3 shots, good haiku form, this production has a great professional feel to it. At a bitrate of 2000kbps it\'s clear that the video quality is unfairly superior to all the others who encoded their file at around 300kbps-400kbps. ;) The only haiku this week with a 1 second black screen between the 5-7-5 shots and it enhances the clip. Solid work.

I like this one because there\'s some real production value that went into it. You thought about the shots, and outdoor photography will always look better anyway. I also think this could have worked without the haiku text. We\'d understand the point anyway. The only thing that keeps this from being a perfect haiku video is that we can already tell everything by the end of shot 2, rendering the final shot mostly unnecessary.

WOW! For a first filmfight entry, this most defantly takes the cake. It\'s going to be so cool to see the longer bits of this. I thought it was all together really well done and very impressive. The music flowed well with it and the editing was great. I hope that you guys will compete again!

Great music, great story and its all very effective for a 17 second short. It was kind of funny how the photographer just stood across the street and made no attempt to hide while she took the pictures. Overall, bet one yet. 4.5/5

This was a pretty neat idea, but I just don\'t like the fades. They really detract from it. I thought the shots could\'ve been a little more planned out. The last shot is nice though.

The most professional looking video this week.. from a group i\'ve never heard of! It was really neat. Definitly one of my favorites. Reminded me again, of alot of the Haiku\'s from the last Haiku fight. I really dig your style.

Good work team! This is probably the best of the lot. Great opening shot. The woman looks genuinely upset. Good framing, and even the still photos are great!

Some really good shots in this --- are you from New York? I especially like the last shot, with the photos swiping by. It\'s like a very crafty way of getting a couple shots out of one. Music sounds original, but it\'s not distracting in any way. Solid overall.

I liked this. The music is great, the shots aren\'t bad and its a creative haiku. As a photog I have to wonder why she has an external flash mounted. Obviously she isn\'t going to use it and it only makes her more conspicuous. Just being picky. My only other thing is that the text is kind of hard to read in the 2nd shot. I look forward to more stuff from Five Clover Films.
