Great breakdown sequence

I liked the back and forth shots of the bar and the kitchen as well

only 2 people so far have submitted, so I\'m guessing this one will be somewhat close

peace

Hehe I liked the quick cookie action cuts. There is a lot of distracting white noise during the kitchen shots. Try lowering the gain (usually keyframable) while there is no dialogue and especially while there is music. I would even suggest foleying the sounds of the screams and temper tantrum he throws. The night shot in the house was way too dark. I good suggestion is (if you have no lighting equipment) try to turn on a couple of lights to light one side of the subject and lower the gamma/brightness/input tolerance/level/etc in post and possibly throw on a blue filter to adjust it to more contrast and lower light and give it the general moonlit nighttime feel. Turning off all the lights and shooting makes it look like night, but the lighting is way too washed out.

Some nice editing in this one, I really like the split screen. The only problem is that it seems like it\'s just too dark - even brightening things up in post would have fixed a lot of that problem.

\"Where\'s my cookies at!?\" < found that line funny. Great use of the FPS shots in the cookie search montage - more effective than cutting around from a bunch of different angles. More panicky and exciting.

Where are you guys from? Somewhere midwest? Sounds like Ohio or something. Awesome shots at the bar, really beautiful how you can make things look with some nice lighting like that.

Poor guy ain\'t got no cookies :(

Bar had a couple shots too many, but only one or two, nothing that\'s too bad. What kinda camera was this shot on?

Kick that garbage can\'s ass!!! Wonderful destruction.

The penis face - perfect revenge. Entertaining film! Wonderful entry!

HAHA, REVENGE!!! this movie\'s strong point was definately the unique angles. that really helped keep my interest, but i still feel parts could have been trimmed down a bit. the close up of the shot glasses and beers had a very cinematic feel to them, maybe it was the lighting, but i really liked that. there were some parts that really needed some filler audio when things went completely quiet. that distracted me a little. the scenes where he trashed the kitchen were GREAT. nicely done. funny joke ending, as well.

For some reason at the beginning I assumed this would be lightweight quality, but between the interesting shots and decent storyline, I was definitely drawn in. If it weren\'t for the other movie currently posted having two big names on this site, you\'d give them a run for their money.

alot of odd editing and sound effects in this one. interesting stuff. could have been cut down alot. 5:34 is too long, and theres lots of long scenes that could be shortened. why didnt he just buy new cookies instead of trashing his aprtment? we\'ll never know.

You got some nice shots- good use of cinema, but carry it on throughout. Work on use of blending the slow action with the fast action, ie: shots/edits going into the action are loose while the action is tight. Make it tight throughout the whole thing. But I\'m just being picky because your sequences show you have the abilty.

Also- lighting would put you into another category. You have a nice flick here, but with better lighting it would step it up a notch. overall, great film. I give it an 8.5/10

meh. wasn\'t too shabby. wasn\'t not too shabby. i believe i would have enjoyed it much more had the fella with the facial hair, out of nowhere, beat the hell out of the \"new director\" and said something like, \"Look who\'s Lord of the Ass-Kick now.\" Then you know, the pixies song could have started or somethin.
