you pretty much lost me with the 2 guys armed to the teeth and one of them wearing a gas mask .. while in an office

I mean how did they get there ? and leave without the cops being called?

a good film will suspend disbelief... I should not be required to suspend my intelligence as well.

+1. The voice acting made me want to stop watching in the first minute.

Other then that it was quite well done.

I have tried making movies, needless to say they haven't turned out too well.
Well except the most recent one, http://www.facebook.com/v/1226031504633 could be worse...

the video was removed from facebook lol

The gas mask just made it so I couldn't really understand him. It just seems odd to be wearing a gas mask all of the time, if anyone has done basic training they know what it is like to wear one. Just a side note, I really don't think an pellet gun should be used in a film like this, they are very small and I felt that it really took away from the realism which could exist.

I get that this is a low budget film. I think this has a cliché theme but there are a bunch of films which are so you potentially can take this idea and run with it. What you need is some expertise in some of the areas which this clip touches. Get some advice from military and paramilitary folk to get ideas. There is a lot which I felt could have been easily changed to add more because lets face it, two contractors or what ever they were wont just walk around in their drab all the time and nor will any soldier wear a gas mask unless its necessary

I am not a movie maker but this is my 2 cents. I think it needs to go back to the drawing board; less cheese, more realism, shorter more gripping clip.

I enjoyed the concept and the story, the cinematography could of used some work. I like the use of shaky Cam when there is action or the documentury style is going to be good.

But I thought some scenese should of been stabalized, would of been easier to follow. But thats just my opinion.

But I did enjoy it.

We're planning a sequel.

The idea and concept behind it were very well done, I enjoyed the short film very much even though there are a few things that could be improved (such as the hand to hand fight scene). But to all the people out there listing all the things that sucked about this and that don't have any movie/short film making experience whatsoever; it is not that easy to make such a film and get the acting all perfect, if you do think you can do it better then please make your own film and show us how its done.
Keep improving and keep em coming good job.

most people who watch films will never make one... they are nonetheless the audience, and the critics.

Imagine me showing my first painting (finger paint an boogers on paper) of a monster truck to the off roading community.

That's pretty much what you did.

I didn't see the gas mask movie, but did see the terrorist movie. Although I completey agree that an amateur flick can be amazingly creative, well shot, well scripted, nicely paces etc... You have to give a bit of props for doing it in the first place. Was I entertained? Mildly. Could it be better, most certainly. I'd like to see a progression from each film released and most definitely don't try to create a feature yet... Cut your teeth on the short film genre for a while. Spend more time on story, character dev, all the things that ultimately matter and less time on video copilot goodies. But most importantly... Keep creating and learning.
