Hey M&A,

I made this short video for a BCAA contest to win money towards our grad, its pretty rookie, I put it together in 18 hours as I found out about it last week and only got the opportunity to film it 18 hours before the deadline.

Obviously there was a lot that could have been done better. Check it out!

The music in the beginning sound a little wack, and the ending was kinda weird too... Like the guy just said I'm driving then it ended. it just seemed to quick for an ending. Other than that, it was pretty sick imo. Loved the transitions. The girl at flip cup also sucked balls.

I liked some of the movement like the shot at :40, but didn't like it so much on the last shot. well done overall especially for a short time, though, and for a good cause too

Overall pretty damn sick, I liked the BAC above certain people, maybe do it for more... The only thing I have to say was the beginning shot was a little long, it could've faded to just more partying in general.

Also, I will nitpick and say that, when the two main guys who lost in BP didn't drink the cup before they left.

It didn't show them drink at all actually. Just didn't make in believable that they were intoxicated (even with their bac above them)

that's a solid PSA, I'm sure the people judging this will eat it up!

Thanks boys!

The "im driving" was so damn cheesy, im hoping for first place but there is another one that has a little stronger of a message that could take the cake, even second place would be rad though.
