A few criticisms: Volume control at times don't seem right. Gunshots and explosions are softer than most talking. The narrator sounds uninspired and forced. The final scene is a tad discombobulated and I had to watch twice to understand what was happening (since the bomb created no structural damage and just all of the villains were seemingly mysteriously dead.)

I wouldn't be criticizing though if I didn't think this was really good and worth it. Keep up the good work, guys!

@Dunkelschwamm thank you :) it was more of time constraints than anything, which is why the effects and sounds may be a bit weird at times.

The narrator was supposed to sound uninspired :) He's basically reliving everything he went through to get to the point where he dies :(

Since I had no idea how explosions worked or how to properly go about getting something I just added a time countdown. The bomb killed everyone except Loren though Candle survived just a little bit longer than the rest :)

Great job Drew. I think you forgot 'narrator' >.> Great story.

@GamerzProperty Crap! Oh well.. Thanks :)

[Dunkelschwamm]

@drewtucker21 Ah, awesome. Thanks for the explanation! Making movies is a huge learning progress and I'm sure you're picking up new tricks every step of the way. Can't wait to see what other projects you may work on, given a little experience here and there I can see some really expert quality stuff from you guys!
