Did the first five shot method exercise in a restaurant and loaded it up on my videos here. I think I got 7 different scenes there. Missed the wide angle on one of the scenes; woman reading menu scene.

Ok I uploaded my first 5 shot sequence. I just did it for one event, rather than for 7 different views, just to make sure I don't do it wrong 7 times. I'd like some feedback. BTW, it's really simple, I just did what you said, didn't add narration or music or anything.

Well, finally I clicked on the upload exercises button and I saw the instructions there. So I got most of my answers. I wish I'd known there would be such extensive instructions there before. I had expected the button to just ask me for the filename. I'd still like to know if there are ideal dimensions or filesizes for the video you'd like to see.

What size video file is acceptable or reasonable to upload? My video started out at 39 MB, which seems way to big to upload. I also have a 13 MB version. Then I finally got a 4.8 mB version, but it is small. If you open it in a full size media player window, it looks pixelized and looks like crap. If it opens the media player (so the window size is correct), it looks fine.
