This was our film. Mike came over earlier in the day and we shot and edited this. Shot it on the HV30, which has a broken flip out screen which is really annoying. Ugh need to get that fixed. I like how it turned out. Fun little piece. Sound effects really sell it. Love the ending that Mike came up with. This was a fun project.

Did you use a 35mm adapter, because the shot at 00:12 looks so awesome and depth-of-fieldy. Great entry, by the way.

great, great stuff, as always. :) the end both kinda surprised me and made me laugh out loud. I figured it would go the cliche route and he would just scream "NOOOO!" but alas, poor laundry guy, instead hung himself over a pink sock. HAHA! also, nice stash. :D

HA -- thanks ZGP. I told Mike to do the scream, be he said he should be be calm to make the end more shacking - and he was correcto!

I liked that this film covered a lot of distance in a short period of time. It is realllllly difficult to show traveling any long distance adequately in a 30 second film. Thought it was a little bizarre that he hung himself at the end. Had to watch a couple of times, going "wha?" before I could connect the dots.
The quick cuts really help the sense of action.
Truly is over the top.

Mike looks like a frickin robber going down the street. His voice kinda sounds like a pervert. I like the almost military themed music *transistion between the music not sooo smooth* The ending the first time I watched this made me scream "WHAT?!" literally. A bit extreme. Overall good usage (as always) of 30 seconds. What's with you guys and staches lately??

What i really like the most from this entire video was when the guy throws his sock into the washer and there was a reverberated thump in there, I can watch that over and over. I don't know why, it's just really funny.

The shot where he's going to press the button is hilarious as well.

Everybody knows exactly how this guy feels, especially as he gets to push the button. Realized that I didn't get the end as I red the other comments. Thought he was a very satisfied laundry customer.

I know that laundry place. That is one SWEET mustache Mike's got. Good editing and sound effects (though there's quite a bit of 'em, but the theme is "over the top"). The music is supposed to be dramatic but is kinda corny, the horns and such sound thin. And there's an awkward audio cut at 0:10. But, the hanging is hilarious.

I love the over the top editing on this. The speed ramping when he says "let's do this" is perfect. Reminds me of bad reality shows where they rely heavily on editing to make things dramatic. Didn't catch he was holding a sock at the ending. But still laughed when he hung himself. Great job!

Great entry, it had a good compelling beginning helped by the intense cutting and then a funny pay off at the end. Also looks pretty. Yay.

Nice concept, and good editing. You accomplished a lot within 30 measly seconds. Great, appropriate music considering it's free stock music. I liked the "over the top" ending.

SO MANY CUTS! Great job on the editing with this guys! I loved how it would slow down and speed up, super cool! I wan't to try that in one of my shorts now haha!
The story was awesome and completely over the top until towards the end. What the heck was that pink thing the guy was holding? I guess it was meat? And did he hang himself?
Initially I didn't pick up on the meat and the hanging because it was cut so quickly, but after another viewing I picked up on it.

:D Fantastic job as usual guys! Grrr too good...

sock! it was supposed to be that his white sock got turned pink....people seem to be having a hard time picking that one up, WE HAVE FAILED!

We needed an additional line like ... "I LOVE WASHING MY WHITES!" or something like that ... to drive home the whiteness. then emphasised something pink in the mix. I blame Marissa for actually wanting to do real laundry when we shot!

exellent comicla mission senario, wonderful audio and transition, obviously some one who knows what there doing, i only thought there was one thing that could have been done better, during the hanging scene maybe you could have tried a different angle. Hope to see more.
