Band of Brothers vid: "Take It Easy" ("Take It Easy", The Eagles) - newbie needs advice

[writerj.livejournal.com]

Hi there -- I'm a newbie and therefore need help (in so many ways). Since finding out how to get DVD video into my Mac (I just use iMovie) I've jumped headfirst into a longstanding project-wish of mine: to summarize all ten "Band of Brothers" episodes into videos using my personal ten-song BoB mix. Got through four videos before someone stopped me and said: "Hey, you know, you need a beta. You're making a lot of typical newbie mistakes."

So I found this community. Here is a link to one of the videos I made for the BoB project:

"Take It Easy"
Band of Brothers, Episode 1: Currahee
Music: "Take it Easy" by The Eagles
File size: 20.81 MB
File format: MPEG-04 H.264 (iPod video compatible)
Download from YouSendIt (temporary)

I would appreciate any views of this video and analysis of what newbie mistakes I'm making. I'm reading through most of the newbie-related posts and links in the excellent group memories and am studying them now.

Thanks for the time and I hope you find something enjoyable about the vid
