Positives: Love the effects and production design! Super Ned's costume is instantly iconic and such a funny character! I like how he's good deep down, he just got misunderstood. The acting is very funny and natural and you've got great timing. The editing transitions between social media and real life are well done and seamless. You built a fun world here!
Improvements: Watch your framing on your 2 shots, especially during the news segment. I would also suggest digging a deeper hold for Ned to get out of. Maybe he could talk about other misunderstandings that got him in trouble with his PR company and knew the news show is the final straw. See how you can raise the stakes so more humor can be used in the scenes. Great job overall!

Positives: I like the concept of the disgraced superhero. I think that you try to show the good things he does, but I think it would be explored even more. I think there are some strong camera movements in this, the pans and quick cuts keep the energy of the film strong. I like the teleportation moves they flow well.
Improvements: Do the glasses make him transport? If so that should be clearer. What was the watch supposed to represent? I think there are parts of the script that were not tight enough in this film. Ned's sound has an echo at times, which means he is not does not have a mic on him or in his directions.

Positives: The story was clear and interesting to the viewer. The superhero effect used throughout was unique and added to the story. There were a variety of camera angles and the quick edits helped keep the story engaging.
Improvements: The audio could have been improved on. The office dialogue sounded like it came through via the camera mic. Overall, the color could have been balanced throughout the piece or used more to help tell the story.
