The Immortal Think Tank

Auto Intelligence

This feels like a weird sentence to write but - I very much enjoyed watching the dad die haha! The drama, the slow mo, the lego special fx, very fun haha. There were a couple parts outside where it was a little tough to hear, but overall, amazing job. It built tension, was a fun twist on 'AI', and I enjoyed the bloopers :)

The Little German Boy and the Cave

Those cardboard sculptures are sooo neat. A lot of work must have gone into making them and this entire film. I enjoyed all the details, like the feet on baba yaga's house

Spring Cleaning

There was a small part of me that expected violence when the robot hugged him haha 😂

This was very sweet, and packed a lot of emotion in a very small time frame. Great animation :)

The Bad Tasting Hero

I've just updated our youtube file to exclude our credits so my children's names are left offline etc :) Unfortunately I can't replace the file there with a new version that has different credits. But I've written the credits here, too, under the video :)

Spoiler Alert

We got to watch this for the first time on the grand finals stream last night, and I know you said it maybe wasn't a comedy, but we laughed the whole way through, it was so funny.

There's that saying that 'love will move mountains' but I've always thought actually it should be petty revenge haha. The things humans can achieve while driven by pettiness!

I just found the whole film super relatable. And I love that it ended with him writing #2 partly because it spoiled the end again, but also it drove home the extent of his feelings. It's so frustrating to have something spoiled! It's rude, and he deserves his revenge! And wild author success along the way!

Congrats on your win :) I can't wait for this to become available so I can make everyone I know watch it.

The Hat Trick

This was brilliantly fun to watch, which I've come to realize is just what we can expect from your team haha. I got to see it at the village theater and enjoyed the slightly confused claps everytime credits came up, but the big laughing cheering claps at the end. It was full of wonderful twists and turns. The narrator being its own character and how the other characters engaged with it was very clever

Killer Views

This was a lot of fun :) I enjoyed the back and forth between social media personality and reality personality, performed that switch so well

Morgan's Organs

I think I saw an instagram story of you animating with baby. I'm so impressed by Morgan's Organs, even without a baby factoring. And I'm a mum too, so I'm fully aware of how time consuming babys are haha.

I love the songs, the puns, the animation (awesome lip syncing), and the overall story/conclusion. It was funny. You killed it. It brought me more than a little joy :)

The Second Sprouting

I am just so amazed at what you accomplished in a weekend. You felt like a big-ish team, but were able to came together so cohesively to make such a brilliant, funny, well acted, well told story. You were audience fav for a reason! I also think it was the kind of story where everyone involved got to have their moment, playing all those fun characters, which is a great way to celebrate a team full of amazing creatives. Huge well done

The Kneel Deal

I love this concept, and a super smart story choice for animating in only 48 hours. It was a joy to watch, great job

Sox & Violence

This is one of those films that has stuck in my brain since I watched it and I've told multiple people about it. I feel like socks get overlooked too often. The sockapellas in pitch perfect, and now Sox and Violence in the 48 Hour Film Fest. I see your excellence, I see the puns, I see the socks, and I'm here for it

CODE Brown

This was so fun, with a great lil twist at the end haha! Also made me think there should be a stunts award - those flips, that rollerblading etc, amazing

Trip Hazard

I managed to catch this in the heats and again last night and I just really love it. I think life is so much more wonderful when we can appreciate all the odd little quirks that make up a place like Dunedin haha. And with all the chaos going on around the world atm, I needed this film in my life! I felt like it embodied the best parts of being kiwi, like our humour and the things we want from life, and randomly steep residential roads xD Plus I'm pro women advocating for themselves, especially at the expense of a relationship if that's what needs to happen. Thank you for making it, watching it was a fun-derful time
