Guys,


I have here a video, rejected for shaky camera movement, and "aspect ratio out of proportion." I do not understand the "aspect ratio out of proportion" rejection, in view of having had several other videos accepted, using this exact same aspect ratio("cinema" setting on my camcorder). Please explain what is going on here. All criticisms, etc., appreciated!! ;)

I think the screeners may have made a mistake with the aspect ratio - it looks like it is correctly in 16:9 letterbox format within a 4:3 window.

However, the video does look handheld rather than on a tripod, especially the ending sequence which is very wobbly. If you hand hold, you have to have a VERY steady hand, preferably braced against something.

That said, I quite like the vid - good use of close up shots of the wheels to vary the scene
