oh i know, but that was my disclaimer before i get shredded.

Haha, I gotcha. But don't sell it short, that's our job to ridicule it and rip it apart.

Dude, you got the bomb make up FX going for you, that makes it intriguing. Plus I love post-apoc. Everything from Postman, Book of Eli, ...of the Dead anything, Mad Max, etc. Good luck.

[Marlon Ladd]

Man, you are on it! Everything looks great!

Matt - good luck! Can't wait to see it!

DAMN YOU MATT!! where the hell is part 2?! you can't leave me on hook with that ending.

Seriously, you had some really nice camera work in this one. I loved the long shot when he walked from the kitchen to the bedroom, real smooth. Everything worked for me. Fine job as usual. You really got the tone down.

I adore this one. I like the stylization, it had a little grind to it. Everything worked for me. Lovely film. No complaints.

Ok, now my girlfriend's feedback. (She's a Toxicologist). Your logic is flawed, you can't give a vaccine to someone already infected. Plus she went on about plague fumes and how that's not possible. I found it amusing. Other than that technical aspect, she liked it. I told her to suspend her disbelief. ;)

I loved how you created a whole universe in just 6 minutes. I think you had to go with the grind, because of the home video quality, but other than that I didn't get a grind feel.

Was the fog a chemical attack? I can't see a contagion in vapor form, but I guess it could be of an Alien variety. Also you aren't going to be giving an infected person a vaccine and usually it would be in liquid form not a pill.

Other than the problems above, it's a really nice looking piece.

Really great piece, Matt! You definitely took me to the middle of a nightmare very quickly. Not easy to create a believable universe like you did in such short order.

I don't care about the vaccine logic, I'm not one to dwell on the finer points of logic in the midst of a horrific nightmare. The atmosphere and tone sold me.

Have to give an extra big shout for the excellent post sound. It got very claustrophobic, which I think was the intent, and the sound sealed the deal on that front. I really liked the voice on am radio...nice touch!

Good work. I think you may have a contender on your hands.

I loved this one as well, Matt. One of your best yet. The sound design is awesome. You managed to create a world here and it worked perfectly. Felt gritty and just plain real at times.
I especially liked the build up towards the end and all the little sounds you put into it. I'll be shocked if this doesn't make it into the finals.
Your radio voice was perfect, you really nailed it.

Nice work,

MAH

Good job Matt. I definitely hated this place, which is exactly why I liked it.

Best makeup award to your makeup artist thus far.
