  • 4/30 6:19 pm - Nice pull in right from the start, great use of movement, and using actors who look old enough to play the parts that you want; it adds to the production value and believability. The alien voice was great. The quick transitions, paired with a longer shot of certain parts (like the milk poured over the football) really lent itself to the comedy of it. Great use of transitions and other effects in your edit.

Positives: Great work on the editing style — it's really funny and lands well! There's a clear moment where the plot switches to funny, and it's genuinely enjoyable to watch. The plot itself feels unique and fresh, which is exciting to see. Great sound design too!

Improvements: Moving forward, think about expanding the world. Since we're only in one location, it feels a bit small for a full movie. How can you make the plot feel bigger? Do we see him chasing the alien down the street? What other locations or scenes could help the story breathe and feel more cinematic?

Positives: The editig to the music works well. The green character is goofy in a good way.

Improvements: Some of the dialogue is obscured by the music. The overall look is flat and one dimensional.
