First rate.

The first frame looks very painterly, like oils... love it!

I think Shane Hurlbut was saying something about the Red being bad with skin tones on Red Centre #55... I'm not seeing any problem with yours. :ihih:

this is really awesome, did yo use all 3 filters at the same time ever or just one per shot?

cool stuff man, enjoyed it.

story-wise, i did feel like the ending was a bit rushed.

as far as photography, it was very low-key... i would definitely consider lifting it up a bit. if it was underexposed and you're worried about noise, i'd be happy to recommend some denoisers.

also, the firelit scene either had an out of control flicker box or some out of control post work... if it's post, i would either eliminate that or severely minimize the effect. if it was a flicker box, there are some ways to even the lighting out in post. it was just very distracting to the scene...

overall, really interesting, well done piece!

Just a little (stupid) question : How are the Magical Ghost Fonts in the beginning created. Loved them. Can you share this information ?
