EMMEREK! Always a treat. I like that you added in some story. The shot 0:19 is GREAT. I don't like the shot that follows as much, with the sun shining into your lens - makes the camera look worse since the lens flare looks odd.

Good sound effects on this. Good music, good pacing. Lots of things done right! The "fake jib" shot at 00:33 is very cool. If you're on Final Cut, try the "Smoothcam" filter on shots like that - it'll make them look like they're actually on a crane!

That road looks familiar! Is that the same raod you're always shooting at? haha

If we're watching from the character who's trying to escapes POV, I would have liked to see more shots of the chaser in the background as Johnny runs away. Really drive him that he's leaving him in the dust - we want to stick with one character to look through the eyes of, if possible. That pitchfork looks nasty! LOVE the kick at 00:52.

You guys did some inventive things with the fence - always thinking about using your surrounding for this sort of scene, you guys did a great job.

Didn't see this one as a HW, but was still a great watch. It's been so fun seeing you guys get so much better! Think you did an excellent job with this.

I rate this film a C+

I liked your camera angles, they help show dynamics in the story.
I disliked the pace towards the end...it slowed way down, turning your cool fight scene into more of a slow dancing with the hitman kind of deal. Try to keep the action up and fast towards the end. Maybe compressing timeline when editing?
Anyway, it is obvious you put a ton of work into this! Kudos, Emmerek!

This started out really strong, but after the character starts running, it slowly falls apart. Some of the camera agles were really cool, but watch out for the sun when shooting in the "Golden Hours." It makes the camera shot look ugly. Overall, I think it's really cool. Keep it up!
