Good work on the Machinimae! Not my particular type of humor, but a decent enough Red v.s. Blue impression.

Decent camera angles. The Home Alone concept seems familiar...oh...yes...it was used in HOME ALONE!
Oh well...suggestion to improve would be to use some lights next time, but I have to say...best of what i watched. You got my vote!

I get that you were going for something "edgy" and dark...but I didn't get it. Must not be in the target audience. :) The music creeped me out though! I think you have a future in horror films. Keep up the good work.

...lost my attention in the first ten seconds and kinda went downhill from there to me. I kinda dig the color saturations though. Did you do something in post edit, or is this just how the camera you are using captures?

I would have a single suggestion that would have earned my vote. More camera angles during the conversation at the table. If the actors are not moving...the camera kind of needs to. Otherwise the scene relies on the actors strengths to pull it off...without Dustin Hoffman or Johnny Depp...you kinda get boned.
LOVED the concept of this short though! Please keep up the good work!

We had 24 hrs. to put this together, and yes, I agree, more angles would be better. We were simply up against the clock this time. Hopefully we moved people's hearts. I'd settle for that. Funny you should mention Dustin and Johnny both of whom appear courtesy of Columbia....unfortunately not in this picture! Yuk, yuk, yuk! Thank you for your comments and encouragement.

Shot very well! You went funny instead of mopey and sad, and I dig that!

This...unfortunately...bored my socks off to watch.
Shots were set up nice. angles filmed inside the car were off the hook awesome. The story itself took to long to develop, especially with no dialogue.
(gotta tell ya...i been in this dudes position...stuck in a ditch in the snow sucks!)
