Just watched and voted! I gave you 5 stars. Hope you continue to produce more in the future!

It's too late for this video now but here is my opinion for any future reference. If it was on IMDB I would rate it a 8 or 9. Only real issue were with the flow in regards to editing. First thing I noticed was the fortune reading scene was 1 or 1.5 second too long (and the hands were too shaky). Second thing was when The Follower appeared and the shots changed from the man sitting back to The Follower were not from the same angle or perspective and it doesn't fit with the same style of perspectives that the rest of the video was shown in. I think it only happened once but is noticeable.

Otherwise the video was technically great, the idea was great- it left me thinking after it was over, and the video image quality gave me today's film feel. The dof was too shallow in some shots but was not over used in the video so it blended well. Anyways, great job 8/9 out 10! You should post this over on reddit or somewhere and use a click-bait title and get some more votes.

@manicd First of all thanks for the vote and the 5 stars. My plan is to produce more in the future.

Awesome that you took the time and wrote this detailed feedback! Really appreciate. Your comment that you would rate this 8/9 on IMDB made my day.

Some more "mini" reviews of our short here http://geektyrant.com/news/horror-short-centered-around-social-media-the-follower http://moviepilot.com/posts/2015/03/02/inventive-short-horror-makes-you-afraid-of-the-technology-we-rely-on-2744364?lt_source=external,manual

Would be great if you spread the word about our short.

@chris74 you need to give a link to voting in vimeo description if you can. I made a post on Reddit for your video and could only make a direct link to your video. In my comments for the post it gives people a chance to vote but would help if the video description also had a link to the voting.

@aaronchicago thanks for watching! @manicd just added the link, thanks for helping on this. Hope I can once return the favor!

Beautiful cinematography, well done. I think you should have put a small emphasis on the lights shutting off inside the dream, it felt kind of out of place once it was dark around him. Maybe just showing the light shut off and a small sound to go with it. :)

would love to vote, however I see nothing of the likes on your link.
