I would've thought Rhys would have watched, and reviewed it!

I don't agree that the acting was good all the time, your characters changed - bird watcher went from geek to street fighter. But when you got into the fight most of the shots, acting, sounds were very good. I thought it started off silly, with bad acting, but ended quite well. A couple of punches looked staged and you could see they missed the target, but most were very well choreographed. This is a step in the right direction.

Yeah, i hate it when no one replies, it makes me sad...
No audio? Or are my speakers F**ked? No my speakers arent on.
Theres no blood when he cuts the bird watcher, and hes not scared, nor moving out of the way.
He reaches into his pocket with a cut arm, hard to do man.
LOL TANTRUM ROCKS! Has that guy never been drunk? He looks like a tool acting like he is.
When he started getting all mean it was alright, but he lost his whole nerdy birdwatchin attitude.
The punches to the birdwatcher were a little too far away. The flip was way too close to the ground.
Birdwatchers revenge, again, nice.
HAHAHAHA, the mugger ran away nude (well close enough)... hahahhaha!
Overall, it had really good flow, but the small things were things that make it less believable. The thing i didnt like was the sudden change of character.

yeh exposure was a bit off. nice sound effects and audio. the dialogue was a bit slow at the start. could have introduced the mugger better but not sure how :| when the guy wiped the blood off the his mouth was really good with the no tripod. looked sick as

(rewatches with sound) You also had a really good location, the blood looked a bit fake when he whiped it off tho. The punch to the stomach was really good, and a nice reaction. One thing, your punch sounds were really lame. And the sound cut out after the hissy fit. The getting drunk so quickly really p*** me off, no one gets drunk that fast, no matter how strong the drink. Oh yeah, one last thing, i didnt like the dust.

thanks a lot guys, appreciate the feedback

a part of the comedy aspect was the sudden change of character, a geek being mugged, kicks the $hit out of him, seemed funny in my head

i'm the nerd by the way, i'm not really like that, just put it on

we tried to think out some of the hits, rather than placing a tripod and hoping to edit it well, i'm rather pleased with the headbutt!!

i'm sorry you don't seem to like the sound, i went away from the usual fake hollywood sounds and tried to add a little realism but i'll work on it

and rhys, what dust? i'm not sure what you are refering to

p.s. LOST PROPHETS RULE!!!

If it was meant to be funny then it was definitly that, lol. The acting was pretty bad in some parts, but the fighting was surprisinly good.

The jacket on the guy, when he gets it taken off him all this dust comes from it. It looked fake and lame. But, that movie was good, and clearly better than ur first fight scene. (glares at ur 'war movie' angrily)

it wasn't dust, it was water, it had rained slightly and a little water had got on the lens, i didn't notice until i got home at which point it was too late, but nvm, thanks a lot, i am quite proud of it
