Chase seen was awesome. I love how the \"bum\"(Im assuming) was just laughing like during the whole minute worth of chasing. I would of liked the chase shots a little steadier even though the handheld shakiness gives it that first person point of view. Just my opinion but I didnt think it made the effect any worse. Well done.

OK so I liked it and will probably vote for you guys (welcome back by the way) and I have this to say. Nice chase scenes, good pacing and cuts. I like the acting of the cell phone guy (the transition) a lot. Funny solid sketch. BUT really really weak on the sound effects. Please. THis seemed like last minute internet downloads or CD you found in the videolab. lame. Just do your own effects next time, it takes like an extra hour and is so worth it.

JULES!

Hehehe-- I like the ending indeed. A new reason the silence it indeed. Short and sweet. Good sound and varied shots.

You went over on time, your sound effects were like that of a cartoon (A BAD ONE), and your stink brings tears to my eyes.

Get outta my sight.

This is one of the best entries on here this week. I liked the establishing shot with the crazy guy chasing the \"hero\" and coming around the building.

Your running shots were well done and the camera \"shakiness\" was just right, not too all over the place like it could have been. I\'d like to know your technique for this.

Only criticisms I would have is some of the shots of the bad man were really washed out in white behind him. And the sounds of the punching could have maybe been a little better blended in.

Other than that, great entry!

HA! I love it, Dave!!! Who are the actors? The bum looks and sounds like AJ, but I\'m not 100% sure.

I like the running shots, but there\'s too many of them. You couldve cut it down by half. The sped up fighting with the disassociated audio was really cool to me. Even the \'beingonthephone\' shots were long. You coulda half-ened the length of the video with the same effect, it was tight. As is the case when the ending is made predictable by the lmitations of the fight, the ending was predictable. But it was okay to happen. Muy bueno. Shorten it up.

damn you guys changed your name!!!? much better, you turned a mouthful into a off-the-tounge-bouncer. your choppy, dirty looking video shots are always a trademark of your films.. a good trademark. this was well filmed, especailly the fight sequece- one of the best filmed and edited fight sequences i\'ve ever seen on this site. funny ending.

A-OK Films - Acting Review

Well, there really wasnt much acting in this film. But the little bit there was, it was pretty darn good. I noticed at one point when the crazy guy was laughing he breaks character for only a sec. And it sounded like he was laughing for real. But, that was the part that made me laugh out loud. And i would of kept it in the film too. The punching at the end looked fake, but that shit hurts to get hit for real. You could of put in a couple of back hand slaps to change it up a little bit. But, that might of also took away from the furiousness of the crazy man. Straight punching give so much more to the audience. Overall, i really like this film! Keep up the good work guys.

Woah! Awesome to have you guys back in action! This film is crazy, flat out crazy! But so very true. I really liked it. Just the continuous craziness was great. It did seem a bit distrubing but equally as hilarious. The guy running and laughing the whole time freaked me out a bit. Maybe because I\'m a chick, and he seems like a crazy rapist.

A -okay is one of my favorite groups. and they did the same thing with the genres as I did. I love that guy yelling,. It cracks me up. I think I remember the hobo from a few of your other movies. I thought this video was in true A-OKay fashion.. and was beautifully acted, and shot. I love you guys, and am glad to see you back.

Dave - this was kind of off the wall. Do you guys just take a hat and pick out of it at random?? I really liked the variety and sequence of shots you used.. you guys always seem to look at things differently... everything was cut smoothly... Audio was great... it was a well executed chase scene. nothing really bothered me about this besides the fact of HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THIS CONCEPT?!!?! If one of film-makers\' goals is to tell a story that\'s never been told well then there you go...

Welcome back!! Hope you guys can turn out more entries this semester - but i do realize you\'re really busy.
