Who cares if some one else has done it. This is their own thing man. Many things have been done before, tts about your own twist on it...but "no offense"...

Any way I thought it was really well done! Definitely more dramatic then how House did it so I say good work.
 
I really liked this, you are defintely growing as a film maker. Thanks for listing all your equipment, and i loved getting to see the setup shot at the very end, that was awesome! I wish more people would do that, really helps lend some insight for us newbies.

Whats the next project going to be?
 
Very very very nice indeed!

Pay no attention to the "it's been done before" comments. This is cinema. We stand on the shoulders of giants.

Your use of the 7D was good but your use of audio is what really stands out in my opinion. The building of the labored breathing to reveal was done right.

My only complaint was the baby. If left without the baby, the story would have had more impact. Since we never really get to know the "man" (pov character), it's hard to relate him as a family man or moralistic one way or another. It would be more art-house without it. Be assured, this is a minor complaint. Your movie is cool overall.

Bokeh! Always good for a transition.
 
Thanks for all the comments and encouragements! It's our first time shooting with the 7D (only the swing scene... all the other scenes were shot with the 5D).

As for the baby, we wanted it to show the passing of time since the accident.

Well, we're pretty much piled up on projects now.. but we're always finding pockets of time out to shoot something interesting or something wacky that our minds throw out.. =)
