A man is on his way home from work late one night when he is set upon by two vicious thugs, but as the moon rises in the sky it becomes clear that this man may be more than he seems...

it starts good, the acting starts good....and my life starts good.. :-p

there's a lot of ****ing going over there in that first scene.... there will be a lot of children so.... :-p

Maybe the changing to the wolf could have been with some more sound ? Maybe some crunching sound, knockles breaking sounds...scratching in hair sounds...

The eating sound is good.

It looks like they realy start very young at the investigation department :-p

The sound of the camera is to late...it's like you just added it without paying attention to it. Like "ooh well here it goes naah...it SHOULD be right"

This is something that can have a larger story I think.

Thanks for watching, I'm not sure what half of your feedback actually means though? poo pooing and children? The actor playing the 'investigator' is in his thirties so I expect he could work in such an environment. Also the camera sound was actually not added in post, it is the actual sound recorded on the day...
 
Forget the "it looks like they really start very young...." I had to adapt the message because I type these things while I'm watching... But as it was already late I kinda forgot...

Also I wanted to say that the light (even if I think you didn't had a lot of light ?) was good. It's late, dark...so people can't "glow up" as they would in day light.
The framing was also nice.

And the story, I think it can be a sort of "beginning"... Now we don't know what's going to happen next... But maybe it can continue ? I mean in a longer (short)film.

About the camera, even if it's the actual sound...it feels like it doesn't "fit" with the picture.... I think weather the sound has moved a bit, or he pressed to late ?
But for me (direct sound or not) it feels like it was "to late".
 
We do have the potential to expand the story, though I'm not sure we will. We are currently working on a webseries that will be released through Machinima.com that has much the same tone but a different story, it will run in December and I very much recommend you look out for it! In terms of lighting we had quite a sophisticated set of numerous lights including 2K lights that were rigged by our very talented DP.
