Positives: Obviously - really cool use of the visual effects! You clearly showed how well you had mastered this skill and used it well to your advantage. Very creative use of the stapler prop! Instead of making it control the story, you created your own story that the stapler was only a small part of. It was nice that you didn't make it obvious that the stapler needed to be in the video and instead made it feel like a natural part of the film!

Improvements: Be careful with your sound mixing. There was a lot of background noise/hum that kept coming in and out and it was really distracting. I think this piece could have benefitted from you cutting it down quite a bit. A lot of these moments lasted far too long and ended up feeling repetitive. The jump cuts between moments of him trying to make it work were effective, but I think they lasted for a bit too long. Same goes for the part after the "1 hour later" title when he's trying to figure out what exactly is happening. Overall, everything could use some trimming and tightening up.

Positives: Great visuals! This was really fun.

Improvements: Plot was sorta pointless, especially since the end was very anti-climactic. Some of the visuals had odd tracking, especially the hair, but I totally understand that being difficult. I don't think the hair being slightly off sometimes makes this project worse. It just shows how much potential you have. Keep up the great work!
