I actually enjoy these and I'm somewhat impressed with how you did the films. :P Keep posting.

So I was asked for comments(Not directly) but here I am!  And I have some helpful critique for your video!  I hope you find it helpful at least, don't hate me please.

 

So the beginning does set the mood quite well, you and your friend are watching Metal Gear Solid(Nobody ever plays those games, they just watch them XD), and all of a sudden, the channel cuts, and a siren goes off.  Once your friend walks out of the house to check out the sound, you hear a lot of wind.  My suggestion is that you cut sound completely, and do foley instead.  It'd sound a lot nicer, but, conversely, be a lot harder to put together.  Unless you're going for the whole "Filmed by a member of the team with a cheap camcorder" kind of a look, but the nature of the film seems like that's not your goal.  At this point, you guys go back inside, and turn on the TV again.  Only two things I noticed here, one more glaring and the other more nitpicky.  The nitpicky one can be easily remedied.  I noticed that the TV was off when the shot cut to your faces as you watched the news report.  Not a big thing really.  But the news reporter.  He was kind of a glaring thing.  He sounded bored the whole time, and generally not like a news reporter should sound.  There's no urgent "My people need to hear this," Instead, he sounds kind of like Ben Stein that just woke up without his coffee.  The script was kind of odd too.  Who's "we"?  Just the news channel is suffering from the virus?  And they use that word again, "we" when they say that "We're issuing a city wide evacuation," but once again, do news channels have that kind of authority?  It'd probably sound a bit better if it was more like "News 7 reports that there has been a pandemic sweeping the city of[GENERIC CITY NAME HERE].  The US Department of Homeland Security as ordered a city-wide evacuation effective immediately.  Everyone watching is urged to leave their homes and head to the checkpoints located at [HERE], [HERE], and [HERE]." Or something along those lines.  Other than that, you and your friend were pretty good with the acting, and I liked all the guns.  The siren got louder as you went outside, which is actually something that most people neglect to do, so you'll hear something outside, and as the character goes outside, the sound stays at the same volume.  The props were nice, if a bit odd that you would take your shirt off if there's an apocalypse about to happen lol.  

 

But keep it up!  I did enjoy it!

Yeah we both wish we could of found a better actor for the news reporter but he was all we had at the time like I said to my friend is that we should of held a pair of scissors to his nuts to make him feel a bit more panicked and by all means are equipment is kinda crappy lol but the wind we wanted ,but yeah we should of done a  foley and OMG I wish you were there to help with the New reporters lines your is ten time better that what we came up with lol and Fack I even said we needed to do put that in on the window and damn it I forgot XD

If you want, I could see what I could do in filming a reporter part if you guys want to redo it, I got a cameraman friend, and could send you the video file.

 

But I'm looking forward to that new series

I would but my friend isn't too big on taking down a video after he puts it up, he likes to compare his video to see how much he improves over the years

Well, I might just do that video anyway lol, it'll give me an excuse to call up my cameraman friend.  But yeah, keep up the good work

I totally agree with Arashikage. The biggest problem was the reporter. I was just to lazy to give critique. :-P But good for you, Arashikage! I think you did a better job than I would've for a thing like this.
