Very good intro. Camera is a little shaky, but overall it is a very good documentary. You could have used some subtitles in some parts where you couldn't here him as well.

1)good, unique intro
2)good voiceovers
3)great interviewee

1)the "firefighter" word moving in the intro was a little awkward
2)camera is very unsteady
3)the lighting in the scene when the call came in was very dark, then all of a sudden became very bright as the door opened

Very informative, nice color and camera shots, The camera was a bit shaky at times but overall pretty good stuff.

Good camera work, it was shaky the way you'd see a "real life" documentary being filmed without being distracting. There were a couple clips that could have used more of an explanation (like their days preparations in the morning) but otherwise, great video.

good intro
good organization
I like how you put times in to show what they do during the day.
great VO's

volumes on clips changes are a ll different. make sure they are the same. use those A490 skills :)

text in the beginning need to be moved on

I loved it…the amount and level of footage that you were able to acquire is excellent. Voiceover needs to be mixed closer to the level at which your footage is mixed to. Also, I wasn’t sure which story you were after…was it your brother’s story or was it the department’s story…

Interesting subject matter... very good photos and pacing... good sound and narration. Great road shot.

Pro's-- Very nice DVD menu, definitions made a very nice intro, good shots and organization.

Cons-- Would have used a nicer font for the beginning intro, wish you could have seen the firefighter in action battling the flames, maybe could have had a little more background sound behind the VO.

Very professional-- great job!

Good subject matter.

It might have helped to have text defining some of the terms.
