    Looked good. Camerawork was fine.
    Audio-levels were a bit off sometimes, had to turn up and down the volume here a couple of times and you calling your dog when it was lost was a bit distorted (don't know the correct English word for it).

    Well done, Parker!

    Btw, Wes, "We can do it without you!" ?? =P

    Great job. But not all is perfect as Amiah also said: Audio-levels were a bit off sometimes; well I agree with him so I didn’t get the name of the dog there only later when he printed posters. So learn of your mistakes.

    What do you mean, when he picked me he hated it?

    Anyway, it was a nice little short, very cool, great work!

    i liked the parts where the dog was there, then the video faded into a sad moment when the dog is no longer there, thought that was good.

    The audio where you are yelling "Stewart" in the trees was way too loud, and it didn't seemed synced as you had your hands to your mouth when there was no sound.

    Good video though. This is the first thing of yours that i've watched that isn't a parkers tutorial :D

    Damn, You're getting good at this. Editing and framing were excellent. One tip with the audio of you yelling for Stewie, get some distance between you and the mic, it will give it a bit more atmosphere, and less distortion of course.

    If distance is a problem then get something between you and the mic, like a bed sheet or something that's not too solid so the sound will get through but is suppressed slightly.
