This is something I put together a couple months ago for an inter-hall competition at the college I attend. While the story is a little convoluted, due to some time constraints, I really enjoy the directing, shots, editing, and special effects, which is what I got to do. Since I used a camera, I figured this was the place to post this. And, since this is not Reddit, I have no fear of the downvote. I used my Nikon D3100 for the video, which is by no means the best, but it got the job done. I used Adobe AE for the special effects and Final Cut to piece it all together. Let me know what you guys think!

 

You've got a really great film noir thing going on there, although for the sake of the genre it would be cool to take it even further, with more high-contrast lighting. Of course, given the budget you had (Presumably near nothing), this is quite good indeed. You were lucky to have so many actors too, when I shot a short myself I only had about three actors and half a room to shoot in. :-|

 

One problem as I see it is the music. Not to hate on Debussy, but that song just doesn't have enough feeling in it to make a good backdrop for drama. The other problem is just that, it's a backdrop instead of the focus, like I would imagine a music video would do.

 

Overall though, nice work.
