As the War in Europe rages, a young composer prepares for his debut - unaware that the United States has already prepared a draft for nearly a million soldiers. While he is thrust into a war he never asked to fight, the final blow comes after the last shot is fired, and he returns to New York.
A short film of epic proportions - which took nearly a year to complete along with hundreds of man hours to perfect the film.

Well all said and done...WOW..I wanna make a film like this some time ....:-)
Someone employ this man, NOW!
great looking film. and the fact that you used HV20 encourages me alot.
The message during rehearsal is still a mystery to me.
During the shots of the orchestra, the music is not in sync. I understand that for the rehearsal, this would require more cameras or more complete performances. But I think it could be possible during the performance in the theatre where there's only two camera's shooting the orchestra.
btw
what settings did you use to export this, i use final cut at am exporting x264 at 10000 bit rate and yours just seem so much clearer then mine. See if you can tell a difference.
