Well, moving back to the topic. I loved the videos and found them very instructive. I will review them a few times to fix the concepts in my mind.
And I'm looking forward for new issues.
Muito obrigado!

The one only thing that I think could be improved. It's a technical filming piece of advise (I learned from my wife who is a movie director). There is something called "crossing the axel" which you have to avoid in a movie. When you are filming a dialog between two persons one has to look to the left and the other to the right. You can change the location of the camera, but you have to keep one character looking to the right and the other one looking to the left. Otherwise, you "cross the axel " and get the spectator confused for a fraction of a second because he doesn't know who the character is talking to. I mention this because I recall a sequence of drawings in which a drawing showed a sail with the luff to the left, and the following drawing showed the luff to the right. Not big deal, but when you see the second drawing it has you confused for a fraction of a second (specially if you are focusing in trying to memorise and fix lots of new concepts. As I said, no big deal... but "for the same price" you can do the drawings without "crosing the axel".
(btw: the drawings are great, and the succecssion of drawings and footage, too).
Muito obrigado!
