So where is the 12 minute film? Will I have to buy a DVD when I give you your old camera back?

Well, at least it wasn\'t another Raiders of the Lost Ark rip-off.

Your camera work was pretty good. It was well lit and the cuts were pretty good. Good work on keeping story elements in without a bunch of useless shots. Slight falling on the sets, though. With the story being so \"blah\" you really needed something else to move the story along. You could have done this with sets, but boy oh BOY talk about you didn\'t. Think of the things you could have done with lighting, multiple camera angles, and overlain footage. Could have really had something there. Shooting your intro scene in Chick Felit? PBBBB !!!

Acting ... good in spots, but a bit TOO forced in others. Bad Guy should actually BE evil, not just some kid trying to sound like Scott Evil. The girl was a jilted lover, portray that. The hero is (assumedly) a remake of Indiana Jones. He should be an archeologist that will stop at nothing to get the artifact. This guy seems like he is just stopping to pick up something on his way to Burger King for an extra order of fries. Work on that. Aside from those two factors, pretty good entry.

Nice use of the music in this one - I think often times for a longer film, doing a trailer is a better choice. \"You do not understand the situation\" is kind of a funny line. Is this movie supposed to be a real adventure, or a comedy? Cuts during the last little segment aren\'t very well timed with the music, I\'d like to see that tightened up. LOVE the ending graphics on the title. Very nice.

Good Fonts.. graphics. Bad audio. Your music is great, though.. sound effects.. too much emphasis on the bananas :) ok nice indiana jones spoof.. you just had to end on that music. Good ending sequence of shots. Not bad for a trailer. Your audio from your characters has to stand out more than your music. but i liked this. good job :) your actors did well.

For anyone wondering, this movie is intended to be more of a comedy than a serious adventure flick... although the trailer is intentionally dramatic, perhaps overly so.
