Entry Description

One student's toy soldier collection follows her to school and stages a sneak attack in this original stop motion short.

Judge 1

Positives: Great simple idea. You did a good job getting the story across in a linear fashion, and your music choice worked well. Might have benefited from some sfx work.

Improvements: A few shots could be shortened to move things along - esp the shot in the hallway where your character pauses before she starts walking - cut to the shot when she's already moving to make the cut more transparent. The reaction shot of her also seemed too short, and was only one frame of action - a few more would allow more of a reaction and a change on her face. Tripod might help to steady some of your shots.
