A Valentines Day Treat!

I really need to apologize upfront for choosing to blog about Mr. and Mrs. McGarry, but with Valentine’s Day approaching, I could not help myself—who doesn’t love hearing/watching a love story?

I like the initial picture of Mrs. McGarry in her wedding dress petting the dog, but I absolutely dislike the transition type chosen between it and the video of her being interviewed. The away-flipping-picture-transition (yes, I just made that term up) looks very tacky to me. I also really do not like when the video zooms in on photographs.

The b-roll at the restaurant where the couple met (between 32 and 34 seconds) is really good.

I like the overall storyline—Mrs. McGarry has a great personality. I think she is the one who really makes this piece work. I love the way Mr. McGarry describes her as a “Southern Princess with a Yankee Waspy Connecticut drawl.”
