Thank you, I'm so glad you like it, even if you haven't seen all the source yet. Hopefully this increases anticipation rather than spoiling! ;)
The pier scene is something I'm really glad that people are picking up on as I spent quite a long time messing with that in an attempt to make both the montage elements and Ellen walking away clear and was really worried it was still kind of murky. It was something I knew I wanted to do very early on, even before settling on the jumpcut style. There's just so much going on with her as she leaves in that moment.
But I get what you say about not using effects for the sake of effects, it's something I try not to do, though I don't think I always succeed, but thank you for thinking I did this time.
And I love that you're paying attention to technical vid stuff. BECAUSE YOU HAVE THE BUG! I can't wait to see your first vid. Whenever that may be! ;)
