watch Booby Trap (short film) and trailer for another short

First post thought I would show you guys some of my work and get some feedback.
I'm 21 and I am a videographer/editor out here in Hawaii (originally from CA). I shoot alot of weddings, shot a couple of pilots for reality shows with the DP from Gene Simmons family jewels.
Anyways I haven't been able to make any shorts since high school cause I've been so busy with work. Been able to get alot of writing done haha.
Anyways I've finally had some time to make some shorts. Everyone in Hawaii has been super flaky and lazy so with my last two projects I have been a one man crew.
They were shot in about three days each (working around the "actors" work schedules)

Booby Trap (I made this just to show actors and other crew members that I can make a movie)-

Hope you enjoy them! Would love to hear some feedback.

Welcome to the boards!

I thought your short was great. Shot really well, the sound design was perfect, great music. I like too that it looks like you could have had zero budget on this, but it doesn't hurt the vid. Way to use that aluminum foil!

the video quality of these clips is really good. I like the acting and filming. I'm not a huge fan of black and white but it does give a certain look that can be nice depending on what the movie is about. Must be nice to have Hawaii as a location. I have Alaska but it's cold and rainy here most of the time. my only comment about the trailer is that although it looks interesting, because there was no narration or dialog, I have no idea what it's about.

what camera and editing software do you use?
