What I liked:
Cute dog!!! Aw, it's not easy working with animals. That dog seems like a good actor. Heh. Voice over works out awesomely, you're a great voice actor. Great dog POV shot. Great location. Poor cone on the dog's head! So sad! This dog is such a great actor.

What could be worked on:
The shot of the tennis ball is skewed incorrectly. Ball should be a sphere! Still gotta work on exporting so there's not a black bar around the screen. Christmas shots seem like they're a little high to be from the dog's POV.

Overall, thought this was excellent. Who doesn't love a movie with an adorable dog! Reminds me of classic Film Fights fare.

I give this film an A- rating.

haha, this is great! I love the voice over. Dog is adorable, pretty much sums up my dog. lmao they laughed at him and laughed at the cone and there was nothing he could do about it.

Love this peice. I love Hemingway, and the writing is spot on immiataion, and a great story, though it looks like you adapted it from someone not-affiliated with your film group, or are they? Great voice acting on the narration... and good actig by the dog. Some lackluster shots... like the "biting" of the man's hand. But you guys are my favorite film group submitting right now, keep it up.

Love the dog, and the narrator. Didn't quite get the story line, though.

A little long and boring for my tastes but I respect it for a drama. My only two bothers were with the tennis ball scene. Just a little gripe that the tennis ball seemed very new and unused for such an "old" tennis ball. And i have to agree with cakebakejake, the man getting his hand bit could have been improved. I just didnt feel that bit. But overall well done.

I thought it was all around great! Prob my top 3 fav's out of the heavy weights!

A little slow for me. As someone who hasn't read Hemmingway, that could explain why I didn't totally appreciate it from that aspect. Dog is a great actor, certainly very patient on your part and the dog's. Good work!

Hello!

I thought this short was pretty good! I really felt the dog's personality with the narrations. I think it dragged on a little, kind of repeating itself a little, but nonetheless, a great little video. Loved the ending.

Working with animals is hard. It takes lots of patience. I have lots of respect for you. It was good but felt a little dragged out.

Hello there! I really like the poetic style this had to it. The story was great and felt classy. Unfortunately the narration seemed to say what the dog was thinking at times and felt less "muted." Really great story though!

Really enjoyed the story telling style on this and congrats for getting such a great performance from Sammy! The 'and urinated on their pillow' line made me laugh, and the shot with the gingerbread man's leg disappearing was a nice touch also. Perhaps the character's reaction after his hand was bitten could've been a tad more convincing but GREAT job on the narration. You have one of those narrative voices like Morgan Freeman's in the way you never get bored of listening to it hah. I also like the whole Hemmingway thing even though I can't say I've read much of his work.

The story was really good well done, but the visuals aren't quite up there. It was just the same shots of the dog, he's supposed to have chased a ball and u cut back to him lying and thinking again. I'd have liked more movement in the video. It came off like you write this great story, and it came off like random example here but you know when kids do songs and act it out too and they look around to see the others actions and are a bit behind with the lyrics. Well thats how this one felt you hear the narration then it of him vomitting and you see instead of the dog vommitting someone dropping food. It felt too fake I guess is what i'm trying to say, the vomit, the hand bite just took you out of this dogs world. But excellent story!! Well done :)

I liked the puking part, it made me realize that this was more a comedy than a sad story and I think the music added to that.

I loved the opening of the dogs face and the story being narrated. Wouldn't focus so long of the dog's bowl could have put something else in there but looking forward to seeing what you do next.
