Didnt watch much of the first two, dull with no sound for me.

Third one.

Good stuff, watched to the end and was engaged throughout. The main positive is that you had an idea and actually made it happen, sometimes that is the hardest bit.

I also liked the use of the music and the weird use of animation at the end, nicely done. It was all there and it worked as far as it went.

Now the criticism...

-Auto focus - Must be off, looks really crap when the af wanders.
-'Clever' wipes / fades - oeee NASTY, just avoid them, totally, they look cheap and distract from the content.
-Titles- bit long at the start I thought.
-Sound- some of the dialogue was almost inaudible, you guys should invest in a cheap shtgun mic and things will be much better.
cinematography - too many shots were just too long. Look at films and see how the shots are arranged to create interest and draw the viewer in. EG, for a shot of two people talking, start long and then cut close in to one person talking and cut between the two. Lots more work but well worth it.

Keep up the good work guys, you clearly have passion and enthusiasm and that is the most important thing
