• 2/28 9:34 am - This is very cool. I like everything about it. Clear story told entirely visually and with virtually no text. Very entertaining yet believable performance from your actor. Pace of your editing is great. Shot sequencing is great. Camera composition and movement is consistently strong. Some very cool angles- car driving over camera, boom (drone?) shot in parking lot, etc. If there’s a weakness, it might be your lighting, but lighting is mostly good. My only real thought for improvement is your ending. I might have found a way to pan over to an indication that it’s Saturday or something, smash cut to his expression, and then smash cut to black. Something like that I think would fit with your pacing and music better. The slow crumple down the glass (I feel) diminishes the energy of your ending. Pretty nit-picky stuff. This outstanding. I bet you win something with this. You should be proud.

Judge 1

Positives: Nice use of editing to imply time passing. Sound mix...nice!

Improvements: A few shots were too dark with bad color balance-minor issues. Well done video.

Judge 2

Positives: Lighting and editing really great...the city scenes were very well shot

Improvements: The nat sound, bed music and effects--though undoubtedly meant to be over exaggerated--were mixed a tad loud and were a little distracting to the story
