[kiddietg]

[thekingofcards]

: ) I love this video guys!

[DavidTheBawss]

yo happy mothers day guys

treat ur mommies well, we owe them everything.

[gripptape]

This is probably GoodPoint! Media's best production. There was a lot of room for improvement, but this, out of all of your videos is the closest to an actual production quality film. There is not a whole lot of originality in many of you're videos, but for high schoolers, this one in particular is phenomenal. You have my praise, and keep up the good work. If I sound harsh in any of the reviews I might give of your videos, I apologize as I only wish to try and help.

Great acting by Otis. That shot of him at 2:08 really set the waterworks. I'm loving the piano too.

I just know you'll become famous one day.

[callofQT]

Good job ! made me cry D:

[GoodCoffeeInc]

This is the film that inspired me to start my film making, it would mean a lot if the director of this were to watch one of my short films, you guys are like my short film

"role models."

[GoodPointmedia]

Hey GoodCoffeeInc!

It's such an honor to to know that we could be your role models and hear that we here at GoodPoint were able to inspire you in your new passion! I watched some of your videos and you have some really great stuff! Loving the camera angles and you made me laugh quite a few times with your humor haha

Keep it up!

Hello, we are all exited for Project Direct 2010, we plan to make an amazing short film. I especially love your video "How To Save A Life." That was over-inspiring.

The first time I saw this I cried, I don't know that we are ready yet to make a film that is dramatic or non-comedy even. But soon. I learned a lot from you guys. This film is my favorite, like, in all-time, counting movies and everything, Love this video.

I hope we can maybe do a collab, that'd be awesome.

[savvyls]

That made me cry. Loved it :(

[joshcooldudeyeah]

Kevin, excellent job on directing this! This really touched my heart and I'd like congratulate Otis for his character too. It really convinced me that he was Lucas...especially the part where he says that he didn't want to be like Dad but that he would always protect Mom. I CAN TRULY RELATE TO IT...Otis seemed to take the words out of my mouth! Great job on this this film and I hope you'll do like these in the future.

God Bless! :D

[claudiacheese]

Fantastic job to all of you.

This made me cry, very touching. :)

[kcjones1025]

Good video...and great point! I was meant to watch this video. Thanks!

[Cipza]

Aside from the melancholic piano music and some of the forced actions of the main character, I felt like you did a good job portraying a heartfelt mother son relationship. Interesting flash transformation at the end too. Keep making films.

[SanitySource]

that was sweet

[oskinzee24]

I hate films like this...normally, but this was really evocative, and you should feel proud of this. Good job.

Good work. I liked the message but a little overdone with the editing effects.

[Phoenixscar1]

Kevin ... gj dude.. didn't see this till few days before break. Is this the thing I heard you talking about to Yihuan? nice. But I was disappointed not to see you in the movie. Lol doctor.

[thecommonfactor]

great work

[ValerieandDanielle]

the best submission i've seen! great job! great storyline! great acting! camera movements were awesome! keep it up!

[Critic5000]

based on the criteria this is my review:

Lighting 2 /6.25

Sound 4/6.25

Editing 3.5/6.25

Cinematography 2/6.25

Acting 7/12.5

Script 8/12.5

Originality 13/25

Overal Impression 13/25

Thats 72/100 not a bad submission at all.

[GoodPointmedia]

hi thanks for the great rating :)

however to be honest, when i added up the scores, it didn't total up to 72. hopefully its just a typo? we've worked really hard on this video, but its probably better to be honest. thanks for taking the time to look over our video!

[Critic5000]

Sorry i was really tired, it was a 52.5 but considering the fact that the highest rated is 82, this is really a 70/100 if the best is a 100 score. If you invest more time in some lighting research on the net and really want to dive into drama, just watch Godfather for 3 days straight then blink and you're knowledge will multiply 10 fold. Your young and if you do lots of little projects you'd be surprised how quick your ability will grow with experience. Right now you're a seed become the flower!

[woochyswilly]

put a tear in my eye.. way to use your mom to make me cry! lol

[ltljess]

Subliminal messaging perhaps?

[GoodPointmedia]

haha no, good eye though!

contest rules say no showing brand names so we purposely made it so you cant read the label on the can. but it was a generic store brand anyways :D
