Nice Job there, I love your GMC
ooooh... she knew... now that's good.
those guys look nice and beaten. well done. a little more insight into what you were trying to say happened would have put this one over the top for me. I REALLY liked this one.
this was good plot development. i agree with killerrobotninja on the special fx: good beatings.
Why was this one submitted so late? I was thought they had to be in by 11:00 this morning?
Noon, and sometimes the server gets cramped up or jarred around. Several entries in the past got delayed until the Root team was able to manually get them in.
Pretty nice image quality and good shots, and another fab location. But the story this time, while doing a better job of connecting it all together, is a bit less appealing to me. I didn't think the writing was particularly memorable, nor was the acting. That said, it was interesting and the couple jokes you pitched in were worthwhile.
Try a few extra set-ups and use more of your wit in the writing and I anticipate that you'll be a regular winner around the site. This entry is a very impressive start. Best of luck!
The storyline finally changed a little, I did like the twist with the girl not being the helpless femfatal' anymore, but it sort of dragged - I can't really explain it. This is the fourth one I've watched (Nowhere to Run, Wrong Place Wrong Time, and Abduction), so I'm still reserving my vote to see how the next four fare. At least this was not exactly the same as the first three I watched as those were like watching repeats of each other.
Very professional -- I was on the edge of my seat. Probably the best cliff-hanger on Rootclip that I've seen.
Just about very entry that I've seen does an excellent job of carrying forth the story. Great job!
I thought the last explosion was a nuclear bomb at a hospital. I think that killing the 2 other character's isn't exactly bigger, and I'm sure people died the first time.
Very stylized, works well!
i liked it, but... nobody died by the nuclear blast?
nicely done. great job making them look fcked up
Hi everyone!
Thank you all for the nice comments! Some were very encouraging and helpful, thanks!
We had so much fun developing the story and then shooting it! I'm really looking forward to regularly submitting clips here!
Concerning the explosion where nobody died: We thought it couldn't really have been a nuclear explosion since our heroes are not dead. Shouldn't they have died being so close to it? And since the bomb maker himself told them about the hospital, he could have just lied, so our heroes wouldn't try to get there. ;)
The competition is really great. I hope we'll catch up! ;)
i just watched it again. great editing, great cinematography. the acting is not too bad. and the story was one of the few that actually surprised me. kudos again, I hope you guys do stick around :)
Nice work, and I even know the actors!^^
great job!
surprising story - great actors good luck for the competition!
