Hey, I made a short a few weeks ago but never touched it because the whole night of filming felt like such a drag and I thought I would have abhorred the finished product. I was quite pleased with what I achieved from it anyway so I posted it on Youtube. See what you make of it:

It's basically about a group of soldiers trapped underground, looking for a scarce amount of food. However, another of the more greedy soldiers tries to sabotage the other men's fight for survival.
Please comment on what you thought.

I liked it. It held my attention anyway. I loved the music. Was some of it from 28 days later? I like the whole concept and everything. The only the that really bothered me was the jumps in the editing. The guy who played the captian did well. The rest of the cast was good too. One thing you should try to do is experiment more with lighting. It would've added more to those chaotic scenes. Good job!
Yeah, and curtains in an underground bunker? ?:D?

Yeah those camera jumps were quite annoying, and the sound was a bit weird too. I'm beginning to think that you didnt edit the scenes, you just salped the whole thing on and put some music on. But the acting was good, it was actually quite funny when the general pulled out that gun because of that candy bar.
H.A.
No, no - believe me. I edited those scenes! I just stuck some annoying jumps in that I shouldn't have to stop people noticing mistakes in the shots. Looking back I should've tried a different method though...
The music was by 65daysofstatic, Michael Giacchino and Isis.

Not bad, your short would have benifited with the use of a tripod or even a steady cam. http://www.cs.cmu.edu/?johnny/steadycam/ Heres a site you might find useful for future shorts, Ive made one of thses first hand so I know how benificial it can be. Cleary
