Oh my gosh. This is one of my favorites. Dude, Griffin we both need to grow moustaches. Is that thing for real? I fully believe it could be. Don't think I didn't catch the "One Trick" ham.

I love how multiracial this guy's kids are. This family needs a whole backstory! The floating sandwich effect looks flawless! The sound effects are spot-on as well. I need to know more about how you pulled this off!

A+

Yes, real moustache. Growing/wearing it for Movember, to raise awareness and money to fight men's cancers.

Glad you caught the subtle "One Trick" mention.

To get a better look at how I shot the effects stuff, I show a couple extra shots on Vimeo, in the credits: http://vimeo.com/7781476

Dude...love the creep at the counter. I can see now that a lot of these videos are gonna be really funny. The sandwich puppetry/animation its awesome. I'm not sure if you're into giving away trade secrets, but I'd love to know how you did it. Looked great. Awesome stuff dude.

Damn it Griffin! This video is great!

I couldn't stop laughing at how creepy you made your character. It was an awesome set up that went great with the end of the movie.

I guess great minds really do think alike. The talking turkey looked amazing, as well as the quality of the video. HD seems to be the way to go with Film Fights these days.

I really didn't have any issues with the movie other than the actors reaction when the sandwich came out of his stomach. But hey, it's a 30 second flick.

Great movie, it's got my vote.

Griffin, that was FANTASTIC! Great job on the effects. If I didn't know better, I would have guessed you 'd been doing stuff like that for years. I haven't had time, yet, but am eager to check out your thread on how you pulled this off. As usual, the quality was spic and span. The whole thing was very easy on the senses. Having access to that location really helped you sell this idea. The main actor, but especially the kids were all great. The most important thing is that you had a really perfect idea for the turkey minifight. I think that's the hardest thing about these short ones, is that there is no room for error in timing your script. I wish i had some criticism, but there is none I can give. Perfection.
