one of the best things I've seen on vimeo. And there are so many excellent things on vimeo!
Chris Koelsch 4 weeks ago

Well done. I love that it's short enough to hold my attention the whole time but long enough to sustain a real message. Most documentaries on vimeo are slow moving with lots of beauty shots and its nice to see something that gets to the point - shit. Shared on my blog, This 'n That: tandtfy.blogspot.com

The titles say: "Footage of Jack Sim from "Vanguard: World Toilet Crisis". First, it is "World's", not "World". Second, Vanguard is a channel, not part of the film name. Third, the scenes you borrowed include not only Jack Sim, but also scenes shot in India, in which Mr. Sim is not present.

So, you took the most powerful shots from a video shot by Adam Yamaguchi and his team a year and a half ago. Then you shot an interview in a clean, shit-free setting. Then you slapped "Big ideas, inspired by GE" on it, as if big corporations actually care. Then you cashed a check, I presume. Great job, guys.

Simply smart and easy, let's take this idea to others, great Mr. Toilet, congratulation, from Brazil…

Very well edited! You showcased an important global issue that not many people think are important mailny because it's for "poor" people. I aspire to be able to shoot/edit a short video like yours to promote issues that I feel are important. I like the style. I will study it and get better. check my videos maybe you have some feedback for me: vimeo.com/balizumba/capoeira
