I didn't get much out of this video. The handheld shooting, the actors awareness of the camera, and the lack of a concrete storyline really hurt it. The ending was very abrupt, which can leave your viewer feeling unsatisfied. You need a much stronger concept, especially with the length of the piece, to capture the viewer. I did like that you chose an alternate shooting location.

I think it was an interesting topic but you should have filmed maybe at different angles and maybe even filmed them getting their food? Just a thought.

it was a good topic but i didnt really like that it was handheld. i think the idea was good, i just think it could have been better. i agree with Dustin about the ending tho.

I felt you where just video taping to be funny. I believe if you expanded on the idea it might work. Not using a tripod made it distracting to watch. Good idea, expand on it.

Your shots were WAY too tight. I think it would have been much better if you had just backed up a bit so you could actually see what was going on. Your shots were too long and the camera shaking around was very distracting.

I thought it was an interesting idea but the way it was shot was not very effective. The camera shook a little much and the head of the subject was often cut out. Also a few more angles would look nice.

honestly, this vid didn't do it for me. The ppl interacted with the camera and the concept was a little boring at times. It was nice to see you get out into diffrent places though. and the vid itself was too long

seemed unfinished. theres no sense of a concept here, if its meant to be a narrative, a little more work could have been done to explain whats happening.

No story line, No tripod, Not much of a concept being portrayed. The end came really unexpectedly. Shots were very tight.
