- 4/25 10:15 am - This was so much fun to watch. In fact, my students requested to watch it several times, nice work! While the script and concept was a lot of fun, your audio work and reaction shots were top-tier and really deserve a lot of attention from others, that sound work, both dubbed and edited, really helped propel this into a realistic movie trailer. Your acting and the commitment to the bit was also fantastic and really sold the script, as goofy as it was. Great job!
- 2/26 2:26 pm - Great work! Your pacing in the editing is spot on. Creative concept. Well done with the audio mixing, too. Bravo!

Positives: - The actors in this piece have good comedic chops! - The motion graphic elements are well done. - The general edit to the high energy of the piece works well. - One of the only trailers/shorts to utilize an adult in a role. Great job in the casting process, it gives the trailer good variation between roles.
Improvements: - In the context of this trailer, I'm not sure that the brief mirror shot was enough to sell that the main human actor in the yellow sweatshirt IS Garfield. It could be interesting to see some clever ways of showing the viewer that who we are seeing on screen represents Garfield. - Some of the more technical elements, such as sound recording, could use a little work. The echo/reverb on the dialogue is prominent.
Judge 3
Positives: Interesting premise. Good music edit.
Improvements: Confused by why Garfield is a human and stuffed animal. Why does the camera shake up and down when Garfield chants for food?
