Hey All,
I need your support for this. Check out the :25 spot I entered for this contest and rate it as you see fit. Comments welcome. Shot on an XH-A1 and edited in FCP, with Colorista for color-correction.

I love the part where he's showing the guy something outside. The first two bits reminded me of the British Office a little. Anyway, I viewed thru alot of others & they were worse than terrible, so I came back & gave yours a 5.

Thanks. I had another setup where a female employee walks into a restroom and the boss slides the pink slip under the door. :25 wasn't enough time to include it.

There are a handful of awesome spots on there, so you're help is appreciated.

Great job Matt. I hope you win.

BTW, where can I find a listing of contests like this? I seem to hear of them after the expiration date.

My thoughts... Watch your lighting and levels, you had some blown out areas on your talent.
The VO at the end of the spot was way too rushed. Why did you make this a :25 second spot instead of a standard :30 second spot?
