18 Years - A Story of a Broken Curse

[Mantadude]

.
No interest -- until I read some of the well-deserved praise comments. Now I've shared it folks on other media (and got confirmation it's also on Vimeo, which I prefer).

Your own voice works very well, and it adds to the personal story. It would have been diminished if I'd heard some guy saying "Dustin has been looking for a Manta for 18 years, and he's had a string of hard luck. Is all that now in the past?"

Love the soft, mysterious opening. The shots are excellent, growing into the story line. And the closing is perfect -- best fade to black I've seen!!

Congratulations!!

And thanks to other posters for comments that got me to watch this.

Thanks for taking the time to watch it. I also prefer Vimeo. Normally I post that link as well. YouTube is well..a necessary evil...lol.

Also thanks for the comment on the fade to black. That was the very first shot I stuck on my editing line, I knew the second I saw that, I wanted it as an end shot.
