I wasn\'t going to write a review of myself, but since I am here, What the heck. I thought it was pretty good. Now that I see Saturnine\'s performance, I realize otherwise.

I thought you had the idea down, but this was heavy on the \"all about me\" bit and not too much in the \"why anyone else should care\" bit. Instead of a shamless plug for your products, create something we (your audience) will want to watch and enjoy, then let us know how we can find more stuff form you in the end. As the old saying goes, \"leave \'em wanting more\". Obviously, this is not the case when you find yourself asking how much longer this will last. Ask yourself these things:
1) How can you grab the audience attention quickly?
2) How can you keep their attention until the next cut?
3) How can you make them care after the cut has taken place?

Anyway, it\'s just meant as food for thought. I didn\'t find it horribly done (Like Samuri Pirate, for example), but did feel like I had just sat through a 5 minute infomercial.

Enough with the video slideshows, please. This feels like some late 1-900 call me commercial.

This was not too different from your one with the scantily clad bikini models and the images of cereal. Was the narrator completely struggling with acting on camera?

Come on, you know you can do better. Keep on filmfighting.

The guy with no hair was tottaly nervous. Haha i liked this, reminds me of a documentary that nobody cares about. I found it quite funny actually, not because that Justin guy was in a fridge... but because of the pictures... well it wasnt that funny. The sound boomed with mortal kombat, witch made me piss myself. Still i give you awesome credit for the green screen. (this review makes no sense)

First thing I notice is the voiceover needs to stop when the logo voice comes on. I realize you are running on a limited crew, and I the pictures and voice was a great thing and very creative. I noticed you seemed a tad nervous (or it seemed that way). Do a few takes and use the best one. Don\'t hesitate to keep doing it until it flows like you want it to. The greenscreen worked until you played movies behind you. It doesn\'t seem like it has an ending.. your last line makes it sounds like you are going to say something else, like \"Goodbye and goodnight!\" or something.I think this film was probably done as a way for you guys to have an entry AND remember some of the fun times you had. Again, I give you props for getting creative when you had no cast/crew.

Grade: C

well. i am taking it this was more of a serious approach, too. some of the pictures were pretty funny, the money ones in particular, but i would have preferred live interviews. or the voice overs to some movie footage. idk. nice greenscreen work.
