404: Adrian Not Found

This film had a great introduction to all the characters, and a lot of humour. The real-time waiting for Windows to load was brilliant as everyone can relate to the frustration, and was a completely unexpected joke for this genre of film.

The whole thing felt like a great introduction to a really interesting film - and then suddenly it was over. The film ended just where it felt like the action was about to begin. It felt like the team had produced the first 5 minutes of a great longer film. On further thoughts, it did have a carefully crafted ending - finding the coordinates and heading off to find them - but it felt like a turning point rather than an ending. Most 5 minute films have to be just part of a larger story - ours being no exception - and it is very difficult to make that snippet feel satisfying within itself. This film doesn't quite achieve that in my opinion. My one suggestion for you for next year would be to try and deliver a more satisfyingly conclusive ending.

The underlying story was excellent. I also really liked the shadows of The Tunnel Man, which added to the ominous tone of the whole thing.

I was quite intrigued by this film. I thought the humour was good, it got a few good laughs out of me at the screening! But I'm going to be a little bit critical with this review just to point out something I think could have definitely been improved on.

I could tell watching this that you had a good script. Your ideas and writing were good, and if a film has bad ideas and writing it's bound to fail from the get go.
But where I think you fell into some problems was in both the filming and editing.
I've heard before that a film is told three times, once in writing, once in filming, and once in editing. Each of the three sections takes the story and tells it in a slightly different way.
Your writing seems good, but if the next two parts of production fall a bit flat (which I think they did) then your film isn't going to work that well as a whole.
As Dennischief said: "it felt like an introduction to a story", But I'm pretty sure your script didn't feel like that.
In essence, you guys definitely had a good underlying story, but didn't quite pull it off in filming and editing.

The humour was still great though! and I thought your title at the start of the film was really good! It was so crisp and felt so nice seeing it behind the characters as they moved toward the table!

You've got great ideas, I hope you keep making stuff and can't wait to see what you create next year!

There are at least 3 insane celebrity lookalikes in this film; see if you can spot them all.
The green colour filter was a great touch; it worked really well alongside the tense closeups, and stylized shadow fight sequence.
