You really need to narrow your focus. This movie was all over the place and I felt you tried to use comedy to cop out of making something coherent. One moment it looks serious, the next it\'s a video game parody, and I couldn\'t tell for the life of me what was chasing them. I did like some of the interesting angles you used to follow people as well as the dragging on the ground shot. I have no idea what the special delivery was either. For being only three minutes, some scenes certainly seemed to drag. The chase needed to be tightened up and the skateboarding scene made no sense to me. Try to make each scene serve a purpose.

If I could give any advice to improve your craft, I\'d say put together a coherent serious story for next time and go for something serious before you attempt something silly or comedic. I find focusing on a serious story forces you to be good and improve yourself. It\'s a preference of mine so take my advice with a grain of salt.

The randomness of the movie did get me to laugh a few times, but there was something I was confused about. What was going on at the beginning? Something threw a package at them and they started running from it? Good job with the humor.

Oh Florida! I lived in Orlando for 2 years. Memories.

Wow, that watch in HD thing is REALLY REALLY annoying. I\'m going to fix that in your embed code ...

I kind of like the random dialogue at the start. This reminds me a bit of a thing I made called \"Syrup Amok\" with dramatic music and lots of random things happening. Maybe it\'s like the movie 2001 and there\'s a mysterious object that no one understands. Your color correction is sort of interesting. --- I like how the other guy gets smoke-monster dragged away. Nice coin-up. I like NES sound effects.

Wow, you guys are really bad at running away! Some silly humor here that\'s appreciated. Are you guys shooting with a digital photo camera?

Ha - \"Who are youuuu\" -- lol

2:35 - I would have had the beam of light make a \"FLASH\" so you could have made the cut with him dissapearing seem more natural. Glad to see the FF logo at the end! I wish your thumbnail on the site wasn\'t just your logo, but instead a screen cap from the video.

Yeah so in all this was silly fun, #1 it was late and #2 your shot selection isn\'t that bad but you had some audio issues - heck would love an entry from you guys every fight though, I had fun watching this.

Very cool mario reference and color correction choices. Don\'t really know what he was running from. I see what you were trying to do with the skateboard, just wasn\'t really a home run. Maybe a girls bike or something that prevents travel might have been better. Skate board is too functional. Your in a rush and then you hope on something that doesn\'t work. It\'s funny I\'m just sure you could make it funnier. Like the lypsyncing but I don\'t know what was going on. I like random, random is funny, but you have to set up a structure so the random can be funny. Like the mario was funny, came out of no where. Great job guys, we are also located in florida by the way. In the dirty south, by fort lauderdale. Much love.
