I have a full timeline! \o/
This is my "River Song in 91 Seconds" vid. Because... uh. Because.
Needless to say: Spoilers.

It's very very fast. I'm not sure if that makes it snappy or just rushed. I'm not sure if trying to cram her whole character arc (thus far) into 91 seconds was even a good idea. But I wanted to do it, so here it is.
One known issue is the jumping at 0:11. I'm not sure why it's doing that, but I'm going to have a play around with the source format tomorrow and see if I can fix it. I started this project before I took obsessive24's advice on using MPEGs for Sony Vegas, so it could be caused by using avi source files. It's there every single time I render it though. There's no sign of it when I play the file, but it might still be a small fault. I'll find out later I guess.
Apart from that I'd love to hear people's impressions on the pacing and the cutting and the movement, on how well I represented the character, and whether or not it's enjoyable overall to watch. That last one is really the important thing. This is basically just an exercise in character love, but I learned some new things as well. I tried masking for the first time in this vid, and I think my eye for movement has improved.
One regret I have so far is that the vid ends up focusing a lot more on River/Doctor than on her relationship with her parents. I'm not sure that can be helped though given the time constrains. I feel it's going to be one or the other.
I also feel a bit iffy about the timing around 0:59-1:05?
I've tried not to use zooming as much as I otherwise might, because it's so fast paced. I'd like to hear people's thoughts on that choice if you have any.
Any other feedback is totally welcome and encouraged, and I love harsh honest concrit so please have at it! ;D
