Oscarbreach, your short film has one giant hole in it. How did the guy know he was going to be conned? Do people really walk around town with two wallets and a printed card that says, "Nice con, grifters." I don't think so. The story would have worked better if you had one wallet and hand wrote "Nice try guys."
You're right in that it is a bit of a plothole. The idea I was working off of is that the Scottish guy was a con-man himself, therefore he knows a con when he sees it. So he knew he was getting conned all along.
After viewing the video for the second time, I noticed that the Scottish guy knew it was a con from the get-go, but I still don't think the guy woke one day and said to himself, "I know someone is going to con me today. I better bring two wallets and a printed card"
Overall, I think it is a good short video. The ending is surprising, and never realized you played all three parts until the very end.
It could've been better if it had better photography. Try filming more close-ups of reactions; profile shots don't project as much emotion as facial reactions do. But it's still a good effort. Good job. :)
