How I got mine: Frank Helsing

Looks pretty interesting, nice job. From what I can tell, you have an eye for film but lack the fundamentals that make films great.

For starters, the music loop during the title sequence is not seamless and it sounds like the audio is clipped pretty bad (going over digital 0). This causes data loss in your audio quality. You can fix this by using a limiter on your clip.

I thought the way you handled the camera angles was fairly decent. During the office scene when the employer gets closer to the camera could've used some post work. This would be a perfect opportunity to use a rack focus on the scene. That would make it a little more dramatic and interesting.

The scene where the employer walks over to the camera seems unneeded. You could've jumped to the camera view right after the spartan leaves and showed the employer slowly looking up towards the camera instead of walking to it then looking up.

Overall, I think your series will do very well. Compared to other machinima series I've seen, this one has more of a movie feel than just episodes. Like each episode is a part of the overall movie. Keep up the good work!

My main problems were:

1. As stated above, HORRIBLY choppy audio loop

2. Kinda suckish voice acting from the employer, less diaphragm is a good thing bro.

3. Long intro, unless it's supposed to be a one-time deal
