Real good, moody.

This one had a similar feel to mine by using text overlays for the haiku. Interesting idea, I think you just needed some work on the lighting, like in the third shot. For the second shot, the hand seems to kind of appear as a cut to the alarm clock instead of a solid move in.

Good solid shots for everything, I especially like how we don\'t really see you, we just kind of see all the events that suck. The last shot of going out the door is nice, as well as the music (except for the end drum beats, didn\'t really need those, and I wish you chose an actual screen shot from the movie :P )

I dug the first and last shots the most. I thought everything flowed really well together, and wasn\'t boring. Nice, nice.

That describes every school day for me. But it was kind of action less and if it’s too early for learning, why did you get out of bed at 7:30? 2/5

Psh quick your bitchin\' I have to wake up at 6am to catch my school bus that leaves at 7am and an HOUR long drive to school. but it was a creative haiku that did follow the standards for the film. So good job!

With yours, I\'m uncertain whether a VO would be better than CGs. I think a groggy morning voice might have been appropriate, but the fact that you moved the CGs around to fit graphically into your shots helps the cohesion of it. I always hate that ambient camera buzz sound, so I\'d prefer some noise reduction or dubbing in fake audio. I do like how the low light perfectly fits in with the message of your piece. All in all, good - works well in 17 seconds, easy to follow - My only real criticism is that the message is not particularly witty or interesting.

I kind of like this one because it has some sort of meaning to it, and I actually made a very similar haiku to this, only I didn\'t submit it. So top marks for the idea!! I like the sombre music - fitting for that time of the morning.

A nice public service annoucment. I liked the shots, didn\'t love the music. All and all not bad, but I\'d lose the drum beat logo shot, or at least the audio of it, it pulled me out of the experience.

Feral using the classic FF logo, niiiice. That made me happy right off the bat. The video was pretty neat. Artsy, it reminded me of the Haikus from last time. One of my favorite entries this week..

Oh, and I have to mention something else. I have no idea what Feral looks like.. he\'s very elusive.

We can all relate to this one. A little cliche, but worked well with the guidelines.
