Hello Mate. I'm glad you like the effects, it took a little while. Yea I actually though of the mummy as well, but I figured it was different enough to submit. Thanks!

i can't buy a coulpe of young kids as shareholders of a corperation, so right off the bat, i had a hard time with this one. but the cuts and effects are good. that under-the-skin thing totally freaks me out. freaky. gross. etc. not bad.

Thanks for the review Jake! I can honestly say that it's not our best, but the age of the shareholders should be irrelevant (ish). I can see what you mean, but technically any business can sell shares to their company, even if it's not a huge corporation. That's where I was going with it. Lol, anyway, thanks again for the review and I'm glad you liked the effects and the editing.

Thanks mate! I had trouble with this since it's my first film under a minute long. I am so used to not having a short time limit so I tried to fit this big story into the time frame and it didn't quite work. In the beginning she dumps his water out and gives him hers. Later we find that whatever was in the water gave him these parasites. She killed him for his shares in their company.

ah, why so complicated, I'm sure your film would have had the same effect if he was maybe firing her? or taking her kids? I understand it now tho.

Whatever was crawling under his skin was pretty scary. I'm pretty squeamish about eyes, so that definitely made me cringe. Great job.

By far the best. Great camera work. I like how in the beginning you prepared us for the end by having the male character saying, "This new diet is going to kill me." Loved it. Great work!

Found this one to be really consistant with great shots and editing. Thought it was also one of the most original, and was really pleased not to see another molestation theme! Try not to be as much of a advertisement for videocopilot in future though ;)

Good stuff though :)

It took me two watches to get this, mainly because the water pouring out I missed the point until I got it was a flashback :P yeah i'm slow aye. But besides that this is my favourite one its well shot and the music really goes well with it. But what I love the most is the subtle effects you put in for example when you get the knife out you can still see things going up your arm, gave it that nice touch. Good Job

HA, the joys of tag team film fighting :P But yeah this in my opinion was a pretty poor fight not many good ones but yours was the best of all of them. Heck my vid didn't even make it in... got replaced by some werid grass mowing vid. Though ur on my youtube so I hope you can review mine there too. Keep up the good work and the awesome effects!

Out of all the films you used the 60seconds the most effectively and efficiently. It was easy to understand and the effects were great. I also agree with the usage of sound. I feel that you chose to rely on the theory that "money is the root of all evil" to create a sense of fear in the viewers mind. goodjob man

Great cgi. The athmosphere was good and music did go perfect. You could have explain why she killed his friend. Did she hate him? Good movie though.

Hey! Thanks so much. I'm glad you liked it. There was a (half-assed) explanation in the first scene. He tells her he's selling his shares of their company to someone other than her. She gets greedy and kills him. The film was about 3 minutes long after the first edit and had to cut alot. Anyway, thanks again!
