I think we could have had bit longer opening shot setting up the bomb, and the car, and the guys talking before we actually see them. More shots to setup the surroundings. The cut in to the rookies face is a bit blurry, I know you may be trying to setup a panicked feeling, but it just looks like sloppy focusing.

I like the crowd chanting in the background, and the fake screen on the 'bomb' Good additional touches.

Not really sure what happens at the end - the rookie passes out from stress? They knock him out and take his money?

Overall, love the work on the bomob prop, characters arent the best actors, but they look very believable. Ending could be cleared up a bit.

I give his film a B-

I was guessing that he fainted in anticipation of potentially cutting the wrong wire and they had a bet going that he would faint...or maybe that he would snip the wrong wire. I wasn't really clear on the ending, though, either.

I enjoyed this, but I'm not real sure what happened at the end. Was that money being passed from winning the bet? Liked the costuming and props.

Great acting. Nice to see more adults in the mix. Liked the costumes. The super close-up was a little out of focus and the timer looked a little silly. Other than that, everything was spot on. Really good idea for this fight. Nice work, guys!

yeah...the timer got screwed up, our first real attempt at chroma keying...we learned a valuable lesson. If there is an important color linked to the plot...like say a green wire...pick a different color to chroma key to. :(
We are pumped to be participating in Filmfights...can't believe it took us this long to find it!

Great energy! You work well as an ensemble! I loved the irrational decision making process! You paced this well and kept the tension. Great Job!

It was loud, I had to turn down my speakers for this one. I'm guessing they made a bet that he would pass out from the pressure. Cool Idea, nice acting, good job
