I, unwisely, put together the rough draft before looking at the instructions at the bottom of this blog section.

**The audio used for this video, What A Wonderful World sung by Joey Ramone, has been removed by YouTube, so the audio has been muted in this video**

The video I am trying to capture is the workers of the landscape, working to maintain the finished project. These are the people who water the plants, weed, maintain the land, plant the plants, etc. This is recognizing that though it seems like a finished product, there is always work to be done.

anni--

i think you're off to a very promising start. of ALL the film drafts i've seen so far, yours is the only one that provides a very clear theme, and where each image or scene is clearly related to that theme. some comments:
-eaaaaasy on the ken burns sefects here! you're trying to do too much with these.
-not sure that it's possible to pull off the combination between stil images and moving footage, it might be too much to accomplish
-there might be a distinction to make here between landscape maintenance and landscape construction, where in the latter the project is simply being built. it seems like some of the bulldozers here go far beyond maintenance.
-sound is a critical element here, but i do agree that joey ramone may not be best suited to accompany your film.

a good start!

I really like the theme of the planting, especially those tools~
