Hilarious and clever Loved it -D
Loved it. A huge smile grow on my face without me even realising. It's cleaver and compelling which is a real testament to having a creative clear concept executed with passion and professionalism. Loved the relationship between the director and the camera ops guy allowed us in on the lo-fi delivery which won me over. Brilliant.
This is great mate Very funny. I love the safety cut off switch totally hidden INSIDE the handle. Hilarious.
Awesome job The banter and real ness was terrific and engages the audience. You should be very proud of what you have created. Great job
This Video was so funny and entertaining You Bailey have an awesome future ahead of you..
So good You guys are really funny. Thoroughly enjoyed this. The rough handheld style and tinkering with technology reminded me of District 9. Awesome work. Good luck at the festival.
