Having been recently put through the ringer trying to find a lens online, what does r/photography thing are the best websites from which to order equipment?

Really? Wow, that sucks man. What happened?

For the UK I would recommend Pro Camera Shop; they're usually cheapest on the whole interwebs. Occasionally Digital Rev are cheaper on one or two items to just be aware. They're also a good reputable company.

Great stuff. Yes that's something that just occurred to me also, is that the narrations is probably one of the easiest things to replace too, should you wish to redo it. It's not like it's 'locked in' nearly as much as anything else.

See if your uni has any sound gear available at stores to book out perhaps - a Zoom H4n is a cheap but utterly brilliant (to the point that it's basically the industry standard amongst small or indie production companies or filmmakers) sound recorder which takes 3.5mm jack or XLR input for proper microphones or it has onboard microphones which are pretty good in themselves.

Fix the narration and this is a seriously good piece of work, worthy and worthwhile of putting through festivals.

I ask as I've just left uni myself, UCLan in Preston. Dropped out after second year as opposed to finishing my degree to pursue freelance filmmaking instead.

Excellent stop motion, really well done.

The one area that I thought could have been improved upon was the audio - namely the quality of the narration and the narrator herself.

The poem was wonderful, however it sounded like it could have done with a cleaner recording, perhaps with better audio equipment.

The narrator could have sounded more charismatic too, as opposed to just sounding like she was reading a script.

Like I said the audio was my only criticism, otherwise absolutely excellent piece. Out of curiosity, which university have you just graduated from?

I'm still awaiting his second feature, 'Wrong'.

The most amazing thing about this for me was not the incredible paintings themselves, nor the fantastic 'choreography' of the paintings, but the fact that he paints with both hands simultaneously.

It was actually featured on Wikipedia's main page under the 'Did You Know?' As it turned out, I didn't know and thought it was a rather fun, interesting fact worth sharing.

Use your noggin! It's not as crazy as you'd think.

All I'm saying is that Halo 1 did a better job, both with Assault on the Control Room and The Maw, seven years earlier.

Leaf it out guys, stop branching off. Let's stick to the topic.

Not redo, but something of that length and scale. I don't wish for them to be lazy however remaking Assault for Halo 3 would have been less lazy than doing what they did.

The last level was such a disappointment. Starts off, you immediately recognise it as Assault on the Control Room, and then realise it's just the last canyon and control room as opposed to the three or four plus all the bridges and corridors and rooms of the original.

Your hopes are then crushed once more when you see a Warthog and think it's "Hitchhikers may be escaping convicts" all over again... what is this?! The 'incomplete part of the ring' is just a poor excuse for not finishing making the level - it's made of loads of flat squares and triangles for gods sake!

Jesus, the last level in Halo three was the definition of disappointment.

I'd imagine any generic rain cover (for that size bag) would work; I don't know whether there is one available for that bag specifically - I don't have a cover for mine however I've never had any trouble in the rain, it's water resistant at the least.

Clio or other?

Whoa, proper burns as opposed to lightning patterns...

I guess look on the bright side, scar tissue is tougher than regular skin so with every injury and scar, you're battle hardening yourself... Looks like you've already achieved 'armour plated' level...
