Nice attempts.

Good effort and nice images. Shame about the sensor dust. I was just shooting in Paris and had similar problems. The sensor cleaning system really is not that good.
I really liked the idea for a story but I did not feel that your actors made it believable. All in all it was nice to look at but that’s where it ended for me.
Just my 2 cents

Good story, Great images, too long, could use some tightening to make it snappier. I’m an editor. I could help!

This is a very good short. My question is what “mic” or “pre-amp did you use?

I used lectrosonic lavs and a sound devices 4 channel recorder at 30fps ND to match video footage.

Needs more editing. A faster way of cutting. Especially the medium shots are good and the long shots with the cribs are amazing. Audio is loud and clear which makes it more profesional even.
