Very nice. Its the editing that makes it. So many shorts are just one long camera shot just shooting what ever is happening in front of the camera for one scene, then move on to the next. You guys managed to put a great sense of speed and the illusion on multiple cameras into the short

Very nice. If you extend it one to a few minutes witha bit of a story you should consider entering it in some of the short film festivals such as the Kerry FF

Hi Lads, Cheers for all the positive comments. Ted and myself hope to do another one in the very near future. Will post as soon as it's ready. Will probably take longer than 4 hours this time.

Don't forget we have a film production forum on boards.

And we still hope to get a boards.ie film festival up and running this year. We were trying to get one going before Christmas but we didn't have enough entries to make it worthwhile.
