Very ambitious film! I know how it feels trying to do green screen and not getting it done! Good attempt

Failed attempt but still got plenty of laughs. Wasn't sure about the story as this was very ambitious for a short. Some very funny moments. Better luck next year guys.

Obviously a big story was planned but couldn't be pulled off in time. Very ambitious and good to see what some of it was meant to look like. Unfortunate case of offline media at the beginning meant the story was confusing.

The funniest movie of the night, because of the greenscreen. Excellent acting from the female lead. I'm sure they will learn from this and come back stronger next year.

Stars for the female lead, but obviously not even partly complete. Points for attempting some pretty intense CG in 48 hours.

CG everything! Would love to see finished film; Love the colonel dude.

Very ambitious! Some great characters & the CG scenes that were completed were pretty epic. The visible green screens ended up being pretty hilarious, but probably for the wrong reasons :)

Don't know where to start. Ok maybe the story: the film makers had a full-scale plot and multiple characters for a 7 minute film. In other words they tried to develop material for a entire motion picture and tried to squeeze it into a 7 minute slot. This is this film's biggest challenge. 48 hours it just not enough for a project as vast as this. The acting: some genuine actors and some hammers. Direction: directionless. Special effects: A lot of focus was paid to computer-generated graphics and for 48 hours the makers have done extremely well to have achieved what they did. Unfortunately and unsurprisingly large sections of this could not be completed in time and the rest of the film was played out in front of a green screen. Overall impact: On par with an Ed Wood classic.

A woman is out to avenge her husbands death and save her children from an evil regime. All this takes place in some strange other world that relies heavily on CG elements that aren't there for a large part of the film. I realise CG can be very intensive to work on especially with the 48 hour deadline but it would have been nice if they could have dropped in some simple 2d backgrounds for the elements that were going to take too long to make in 3d. However it made the scene where the female lead is sneaking up behind the guard very amusing because shes just in front of a green screen that never got keyed out. Props to the team for trying such an ambitious amount of CG/greenscreen but maybe next time wind back some of the story elements to allow you to complete it.

Hilariously bad. I quite liked it for just sheer audacity. Could be in the running for best bad film! :)
