I enjoy and respect a lot of David Lynch's work, so this short was a fun interpretation of Spider-Man in the style of Lynch. This edit has many interesting and fascinating ideas that for the most part work in the vision and style of the short. I definitely recommend this to everyone who is a fan of Lynch, but it's not for everyone.

Audio and video editing is great. Modifying Mary Jane's voice at the end was a smart move to get the short closer to the spirit of Lynch and cuts were done pretty good, but I could see clearly where scenes were cut. And I wished that some scenes in the short happened in a different order to add more of a mysterious and dark tone to make it more in a subtle way scary.

Well done, Dwight Fry. You have made a pretty interesting story out of Spider-man that I would revisit sometime soon.

Watching this was a shock. I'd forgotten how bad Spiderman 3 was... regardless, this is a neat, tight little non-linear take on the film.

I'm not overly familiar with Lynch - I've seen two of his films, one of his shorts, and then various clips and spoofs. Some elements of the edit seemed to reflect what I know of him, others felt out of place. I would have cut the fight scene, personally.

Visual quality isn't great and the aspect ratio appears to be wrong/squashed on the vimeo link. There are some creative cuts with video and audio. Some audio sounded incomplete, but there's nothing jarring.

Overall, a cool short. Maybe just needed to double down on the concept.
