good shit man great stuff. i only wish the first seen was a little more patient with the cuts. But awesome work though

Great job!! Loved it.

What was the budget?

sweinzierl · Mar 18, 2015

It was my gear valued around 4k and then about 4k more to make it happen.

Very nice. I was almost hopeful in the beginning scene that I was going to get to see Billy Bats haha! That's how the scene made me feel. So good job

Good stuff! I'm just gutted I didn't think of it first!

Could've chilled out a bit around the first cuts which were a little too much but that was good. Clever around the 'look' as well in terms of giving it that mafia 'feel.'

Update

Thanks for all the input guys. I updated the file and tried to soften the amount of cuts. I had a heck of a time because of the lack of good takes, but i do feel it's improved. Cheers!
