LUMP

Outstanding camerawork and great quality audio on the dialogue. I really enjoyed the close-up shots of the keys, the laptop, and the camera angle of the guy sitting on the bed with the laptop beside him. Good use of a security camera angle.
The story was good, but the middle was a bit confusing.
Loved the finish with the breathing continuing into the black screen.
Saulé Has No Eyes But His Gaze is Piercing
Loved the shots of going underwater.
Story wasnt my taste
Herd of Cows?
The starting shots were really well done with good usage of the drone
But the story got a bit a confusing towards the end
Tarnished
Great camerawork, especially the begining. The person speaking at the begining was a bit confusing. The rabit was cute and totally unexpected! Good use of silence when the guy walked up the hill
A Child’s Best Friend
10/10
Powerful opening with the music and teddy. Perfect audio balance between dialogue, SFX, and music. A brilliant portrayal of a child’s fear of dark stairs at night. Genuinely creepy with the dark figure rising, toys moving on their own, and eerie ghost sounds. Stunning cinematography throughout!
The Devil Wears Pleather
Lyrically genius.
Loved the blurring and slow motion during the dancing, the blurring of "private parts" was also really funny and great editing!

No Indemnity
Such cool closeup shots. Loved the heaven scene and the jokes. Loved the floating poison jar.
Final Bell
Brilliant!
Especially loved when the camera was the person being attacked!
Sorry you were disqualified, hopefully you had fun making it!
Something in the Water
Spoooooky!
The sound effect of the water with a heartbeat was brilliant, especially mixed with the visual of the blood in the bottle of water. I wasn't sure where the exit element scene was, though.
The tripping over scene was very well executed—perhaps you actually fell over? Lol.
Well done! Sorry you were DQ'd!
The Adventures of Shart Boy and Larvae Girl: 3D
Far out what a journey!! Missed seeing this one last year but searched up the team after seeing their 2025 entry.
So cool to see how much you put in to one weekend from insane props to amazing editing. Well done
A Grave Pain
8/10 – The dead guy being a ghost was pretty funny, and the duplication (or lookalike actor??) was pulled off really well. Excellent audio balance and great use of colours, and colour balancing!
I felt the story could have leaned more into the sad emotion. Yhe slow-motion moment worked nicely. The fading to invisible effect was awesome, though the fisheye lens felt a bit forced. Well done!
Last Minute in Heaven
7/10 – Amazing visual effects with clever cartoon transitions. The sound was clear and well-recorded, though at times a little quiet compared to the music. Overall, really well done!
Toast
Brilliant!!
Funny story, strong acting, great lighting, and a really cool set (loved the toaster glowing, the golden glowing drawer, and the zoom away shot of the tiles!). The cinematography was stunning and the smooth editing tied it all together beautifully.

MARBLES
Far out this was so well done!
Brilliantly simple story, and the twist ending with him waking up/coming to didn't even feel forced! Also really great cinematography and editing. Good work!

Exodus Magus
Well done! The story made me laugh; it was very funny. The match cut on the egg scene was brilliant. Great costumes and perfect sound effects. The wizard was a brilliant actor.
Scariest monster everrrrr
The Gastronaut
Love the transition flashes between scenes at the beginning. The POV shot was cool.
Audio was a bit quiet overall, but the sfx were quite loud.
Love is Like an M
Overall, a great video team!
The story was sweet, and we loved the character development with their daughter growing up, leaving home, and especially the couple moving into a retirement village. The visual storytelling of growing old was so well done without needing words.
The wind noise let down the lines of dialogue a bit, and the waves at the beginning were too loud. However, the music choice was really good—moving and fitting the visuals well.
The scene cuts between the 3-2-1 countdown were great, and we loved the hat inclusion. The over-the-shoulder angle of Molly was really well done. The outtake at the end was fun.
The lens needed a bit of a clean or a lens hood for your beach scene.
Hopefully, you had fun making this. Sorry you were DQ'd!
Cardboard
That second shot was epic - of following the guy pushing the trolley
And the 3.22 shot goijg between the 2 actors, love it!
And 6.35 camera going up and down
Even though you got disqualified, this looks like it was really fun to film. Was this your first entry into 48hrs?
Toot Toot's Biggest Fantasy Movie
Ill be honest, I missed watching this in 2024 but searched your previous videos in anticipation after you've named your 2025 entry as "2025 national 48 hours winner" as I think that alone is funny. Boy oh boy this did not disappoint and had me cracking up laughing, brilliant use of the required elements, great comedic value, great sound, and a high production video. Looking forward to watching your 2025 entry :)
