Not too hard to follow even when you don't know the game. Acting wasn't terrible or very distracting. Obvious enough plot that you didn't have to explain it, but subtle enough to be unique and powerful. It taught me some things about the message, and moved me. Thank you!
@BarneyReynolds Thanks! We filmed on a Canon 5D using three different lenses and had a good sound setup. We shot most of it using a Beachtek adapter (to capture sound on the .mov), but it was feeding back into the camera audio. It actually died part way through the filming and we had to go to capturing audio separately. I almost wish we had gone that way originally because we had absolutely no white noise. Our editor was on site and could have synced for us as we went along. Oh well, we learned.
@bricemaniac Yeah, we did a lot of different takes and didn't get some of the acting we wanted in the same shots with the camera worked we liked. Hard to choose... Continuity was also a big issue to work around and there are still several things that we weren't able to resolve because of the lack of footage. One big one that we did fix was when Winner deals the ace of spades. Originally, we shot my hand dealing the card, but I did it right handed. Rick did it with his left hand. Heh...
The part of Jesus was done very well. The entire vid was a good one. Thanks.

Good idea, but that ending line came across really cheesy.

Very good sound and video quality. Hopefully a great beginning for many more great videos.

Good short, very good concept. Some of the acting is a little over the top, but a good concept, and pretty nice production value.
