Well, it\'s obvious why this is lightweight - not because of lack of talent, but because you use 17 separate shots rather than 3. I\'d like to put that fact aside for a moment, though. If we temporarily disregard the rules, I have to say that yours is one of the best videos this week. You managed to incorporate the aspect of haiku, your shots fit distinctly into three units, and in the end it\'s funny and very enjoyable. It\'s technically no heavyweight, but good job, and rest assured that you\'ve won the lightweights this week.

Cool, lions and running in the same sequence?! Heh. I liked your idea of having five 1 second shots, then 7, then one again. Neat little video.

Cool idea, but almost too many cuts going on to break up the action. And the lion as a picture and sound effect kind of ruin the buildup. Maybe do something like the lion being unseen, like “Evil Dead”, might have worked a little better here.

Dan! I love this guy. He always submits the weirdest random shit to filmfights. Barely ever an actual movie. Just. Weird stuff. I like it. I liked the video, and was waiting for the ETID to break in. You got my hopes up, you silly bitch.

Nicely shot, though I think 3 shots was the max.

I like this one a lot. So, you didn\'t stick to 3 scenes in 5-7-5 format, blah blah, you adapted it to 5-7-5 format that works really well. If Griffinity can get away with his 575-575-575-575 rap for audio, then why not this style for video. Good action scenes in the second part. You get my lightweight vote, although this should have been a heavyweight!

I know I co-erced you into making this, so I\'m sorry it went Lightweight. I think that the second set of 7 shots fits together nicely, but the mountain lion at the end, and the intro 5 shots, just didn\'t jive with the requirements. Maybe if you would have made it a little more mysterious, with some creepy music could have worked better. The shots were decent enough.

First time through, I didn\'t like it at all. After several watchings, I\'ve grown to love it for what it is. I love it, Dan. If you are ever way outside of LA, near Redlands, hit me up.

cool vid. I liked it, too bad it didn\'t really count, but it didn\'t have to for me to enjoy it.

I don\'t know what you were thinking. This is in no way a haiku. Pretty well done, but didn\'t really like the story.
