Entry Description

One school's 1-to-1 initiative goes haywire, necessitating student intervention in this comical, original stop motion short.

Judge 1

Positives: you choreographed the action and the camera angles very well, employing lots of classic editing tricks to advance the story. I liked the wild-west style show-down at the end.

Improvements: Many of your shots have frames at the heads where your talent hasn't started moving yet. It makes it feel like they are waiting for you to say "action" at the beginning of the take. This could be remedied by editing some heads off of your shots, so the flow of motion is more unbroken. The one blurry shot is distracting.
