Oh! Oh... Oh, my goodness, that was so beautiful! You absolutely captured everything that is so lovely and heartbreaking and heartwarming and TRUE about this film. I love how you establish Zach's universe in the first 40 seconds before setting up the romantic issues at the center of the vid (and the film), with Zach constantly on the move and the collage of flowing images of his world moving around and through him as he skates and drives and surfs and works so hard at life. And when I say "flowing" I want to say it, like, twenty times, because that's what this opening does: the music is like rippling water, the content of the clips includes clear water lapping at the camera and a certain translucent quality in the light in a lot of the shots that suggests water here, you use the bob and glide of Zach skateboarding *mdash; it's fantastic! This is his whole world and it's what he draws on for the subjects of his art, and the way you have him moving through this world, it feels like how he sees and experiences it. What a great start to a great vid! Thank you!!!
