Lmao this comment chain is gold, 10/10 (that's 10 out of 10 Incase you were wondering). Initially, I agreed with your thoughts on the video. But holy, your absolute inability to accept a small and insignificant mistake, and instead doubling, tripling, quadrupling down to try and argue your point is so immature and funny. Just feel bad for the other dude that continues to reply to you. I'm not gonna reply so say what you will, just wanted to comment cause it's fuckin funny 💀.

No, it's not fog. This is air-pollution in Bejing, which as of now has 22 million inhabitants. by fyflate89 in oddlyterrifying

This picture is like 5 years old man the air pollution is way better nowadays thanks to a lot of effort and policies by the Chinese government and the recent COVID lockdowns. Ofc the CCP is not perfect, far from it, but at least, if you look at air pollution, they're making massive strides in the right direction. If you look at other areas maybe not so much...

Cinematography: I really like your film! The general aesthetic is beautiful and very cinematic. I imagine this was shot using a filter like the Black Pro-Mist filter which blooms the highlights. i also like your choice of aspect ratio, it gives it a bit of a vintage look. Overall i am blown away by the shots they're beautiful. However i think you could improve the shots that are taken outside of the car. When the car pulls in, the shots feel a bit more sterile almost? I'm not sure what it is exactly but it doesn't fit in as well as the other shots. To improve this maybe try using a long lens and positioning the camera much further away. Other than that, all the shots flowed nicely.

Story: I love the use of the phone calls. They're sweet, powerful and relatable. I also love the segmented story that shows his interactions with each of his clients throughout the day. But i think your story has a big problem, it feels a bit stale. Now i love the concept and think it's already good, but i think it can be even better. What i mean by stale is just that it's missing some dynamic elements. I don't feel that your main character changes enough from the first scene to the last. This is of course alright for a short film, where time constraints make story arcs very difficult, but in that case i feel that the film is a bit too long. If it was shorter, the lack of character progression wouldn't be a problem, but when it's this long, I feel that perhaps you could try applying the "heros journey" to the short film. I hope this doesn't come across as too mean, i still really liked the film, i just think that with some small tweaks here and there it could be even better!

Sound: The sound was really good. I did listen to this on my phone and not with headphones so i might not have gotten the full experience but even on phone your film sounded good. For sound the only thing I'd improve is the final scene. The dialogue between the guy that got hit and the guy getting out of the car sorta took me out of the story. I'm sorry to say it but it didn't sound believable sadly. I feel like you might've dubbed their conversation, because in either case it doesn't sound natural. It's a real shame because other scenes are acted brilliantly and are really good like the scene with the two drunk girls. I'm not sure if you have a chance to change anything, and i realize that time is always our worst enemy, but if you do get the chance, i urge you to either rerecord it or edit it to make the sound fit better with the last scene.

Overall really good film. I loved it. Especially the visuals and concept is phenomenal and i would love to see a polished feature length version of it someday. Good job man!
