Cardboard Warriors

Tom McGuire — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:51:22 +0000

While this short has plenty of explosions and blood, the editing and lack of urgency are over shadowed by the audio and effects. Overall I feel it was well executed. Good use of ‘Shaky Cam’ and simulated recoil on the various weapons. I think I’ll start building my very own ...
