oh my god. I just noticed that the first v/o never played. so theres no foreshadowing. gah it was in the one i released on yt. poidfujdklfjs eff.

Now that I've seen the end of this, the family video at the start has a lot more meaning - a sign of a moving film.

I like when audio / music comes from a 'real' source, like a TV or a stereo. Wes Anderson does that a lot. I think it's a charming addition.

I like that you just showed a shot of the note and didn't actually read it aloud to us.

Good work on fading out the music when he goes into the other room. I find it's not a bad idea to actually use your camera to record a song so it actualyl sound more like it's coming from a source instead of just in your editing software.

The song is WAY too happy for the video. Really sad ending. Sorry to see that.

Like the effect used with the home movie footage. The square that's blurred. A good mixture of shots. I like the gag with the stocking. The reaction to his parents' death isn't enough for me. Vocally, he doesn't change, and physically he just puts his head up against a wall, which is good body language, but I would've preferred seeing his face react.

Is this real childhood footage? Looks really square for 90's footage. Not saying it isn't real, just an observation. (edit. watching it again, I see it is recorded from a tv screen. makes more sense). I like the music you chose for your alarm, because it made me want to gouge my eyes out...like alarms are supposed to. White balance in living room! Wide angle lens? You pause a long time in front of the TV. I like how the music from the video gets quieter when you switch rooms. The blue title screen on the TV didn't fit right on the screen. You could fix that in photoshop (assuming it's a still) pretty easy. That worked out well. That's a long mother fucking phone cord. Filter on the phone was not that great. OH NOEZ, they died! That is horrible. The guys on the phone wasn't very convincing, though. Maybe it's a trick! Pretty upbeat music playing over the credits. I would have went with something sadder. OH NOEZ, again, someone really died. Only 43, an uncle? Credits seem a little long, but I don't mind as much when they are at the end (vs. the beginning) of a movie. Overall fairly entertaining. Definitely needed some trimming, though. Don't forget to set that white balance. Lighting was tolerable, but a few extra lights would have made it better looking. This was good, but I know you can do better. I went and watched a bunch of your shit on youtube. I liked what I saw, so I have high expectations from you.

nice changing the music volume between rooms. Sorry to hear about what happened. This makes it hard to review this because it has a lot of meaning. Honestly, i think it could have been shorter. he takes a while to turn on the tv. this was decent.

My kind of ending. :)
