I see...

troubling surveillance footage, and a girl taking pills...

no storyline really, because it had nothing to do with a reoccuring dream

if it did, I would have liked to see that showcased a little more

...no make that a lot more

how didya get the footage?

...What is going on in this?
I think the premise could of been neat, but there were just too many columbine shots, and not enough backstory, just a girl in a bathroom getting water, and taking pills.

That seems to be a common factor this week. Work on your storylines.

Whoa- nice rack focus shot.

I really like the cuts and pacing of the intro.

Wow-- this is so simple, yet effective. Ive never seen clips from that ( I assume they\'re actual security cam video).

The contrasting music really worked in this one.

I could definitely see this being someone\'s nightmare. This one has my vote so far. Great job.

Personally although we've all seen the Columbine footage in "Bowling for Columbine", and if that's the real deal, then it's pretty poor taste to put it in one of your videos and try to recreate someone who was actually there during this horrible event. Michael Moore put it in a much better context than you do here.

You really can't even tell what's going on in the footage at all, random cuts of those crazed fuckers running around. Filmwise, not too interesting.

You can do better.

do you actually know someone from the whole columbine deal? and was that stock footage of from the columine school cameras. if so, you used to much. if not, nice job on the recreation.

i will say this. nice shots of the girl puking and the sink...

i think i see what your saying with this

i liked the idea, im a student in high school and i honestly everyones kind of had a nightmare at my age who knows that people can just go postal, although the movie itself didnt portray this, i (possibly the demographic you were going for) really could connect with this film and i liked it.

i think it may have been a bit too long, becasue once i saw once scene, i felt as though it needed to move quicker

but i liked it, good idea

Jeremy,

I loved it! The scene with you and the other guy stood out. My favorite line was \"Well, your father is dead\", followed by the awkward close-up; I love things like that. The alien war scene ws pretty good too. I loved the alien, and again, the awkward line, \"God forbid we let the aliens win\" followed by the blank stare into the camera... flawless. Good work, it deserved to win!
