- 4/24 3:07 pm - Good pacing and beautiful shots - especially the city scenes. Very well put together. Looks like a professional trailer! My only constructive criticism is the lighting in the alley scene and at the very end. I assume you wanted it dark for effect, but it was a little TOO dark. Clarity trumps artistry when conveying your storyline.
- 4/23 1:53 pm - Congrats on a very big challenge, you all did a nice job with this trailer. You have some fantastic shots, especially the closing shot. You have a good use of sound design though you could add some ambient world sound when dealing with Chicago shots. Overall this was a lot of fun and too a lot of dedication. Nice work overall!
Judge 1
Positives: -Tension: The clash between characters is engaging. -Social commentary: Highlights prejudice effectively.
Improvements: -Character depth: More backstory for Sir Sir W. -Conflict resolution hint: Tease possible outcomes.
Judge 2
Positives: - Great setup for an epic story. Good performances! - Excellent edit! Conforms well to the tropes and beats of what you would want to see in a "crime boss" film, and the music choice works well.
Improvements: - Though the use of available lighting, particularly in the alleyways, is excellent, the use of camera could be tightened up to feel more controlled and purposeful. - I would recommend shooting in 24fps, to give your imagery more of a "cinematic" feel, if possible.

Positives: Nice insert shots. Final The World is Yours shot works well.
Improvements: A few shots were way too dark. Get some exposure on those faces, with a portable softlight or even a flashlight. Would like to see him in his natural habitat, restaurant, flashbacks to more modest times, to contrast against the powerful man hes to become.
