A Special Video To Share	Can't Post

A couple of years ago, I began working on a very complex engagement video that was going to span across all four seasons. I had some great ideas and we began shooting it at the end of the summer 2 years ago. We shot the summer section and next was to be the fall. It never came. The groom to be got sick and was diagnosed with cancer. The wedding was cancelled . Now two years later, he is still living and she recently had his child. His health is bad but he is alive. With the little bit of footage I had I was able to put this together for them.

Dave, nice job! She and her child have a keepsake for the rest of their lives,
should his health not improve. Love the use of AE. Hats off to you.

Very nice Dave - you know I admire your work, but it was very nice of you to finish this. As someone whose been through cancer, I understand that it's about looking forward and not dwelling in the disease any more than you have to. I hope the couple got married anyway.

Just me, but maybe you should cut the clip of the guy sucking on that cigarette. It looked like he was smoking as he was walking down the steps, almost like it was a cool looking pose.
I don't know, but it might turn into a kick in the gut to the guy's family looking back on it if he doesnt beat it and live.
My dad is 2 years out from prostate cancer, so far so good, and my paternal family has a history of it, but at least these days you have a shot a beating some of it.
If anyone is interested in a good place to help the fight against cancer and fuel cancer research, check out :
