    The acting is pretty bad, but that's not under your control.

    So far the filming is done well. I don't know what kind of camera/filter/lens or whatever that is, but it defiantly looks nice. And the panning (movement of the camera) is nice. Looks smooth and this gives it all a professional feel. Really the filming is the best part of this video. It's great.

    As for the sound, it's not that great. I get what you were doing with the music, but it goes overboard. Try to use music that is more subtle. It can still be powerful, but currently the music you have playing in various parts of the videos is too dominant. Tone it down a little. If you feel this takes away from the power, you need to pick music better.

    The nerf gun fight thing has been done ad nausea millions of times already. So 0 points for originality. But then suddenly it goes from something silly (lol nerf) to an actual blood bath with "real" guns. I have pretty tough skin, but even i found it rather distasteful. These were supposed to be just buddies having a friendly fight. Suddenly they're actually murdering each other :confused:

    The special effects were also done very well, and the sound effects were done well too.

    Overall, good work. But find more creative and tactful ways to express your talents in the future. Ultra-violence has been done many times and makes the audience go "oh not another one of these again". Gun battles are a dime a dozen now. Find something better. Be creative.
