1. Generally well done. Couple little things, though, you may wish to change.
The voiceover near the end sounds like there was some audio clipping, like the gain was set too high during recording. Also, there's about a minute of dead air after it's done but the movie keeps playing. Chop that off and it'll reduce the file size.

2. The black frames at the end were put there because...
Edited on Sat Jul-15-06 01:45 AM by Eric J in MN
...YouTube uses the middle frame to represent videos.

I wanted to have Uncle Sam in the middle frame, and so we added black frames to the end.

I wish YouTube gave someone who uploads a video several choices, instead of automatically using the middle frame.

Regarding the audio, you're probably right that the "gain was set too high during recording" but that was the best take.

4. I don't know whether it's worth it to put a lot of black frames
...at the end or not. The picture YouTube usses to represent videos is tiny anyway.

13. Good work, Eric
Thanks for posting it.

P.S. There's a typo in the title of the cartoon on the Youtube site - the word "Uncle" is spelled wrong.
