Well there is nothing wrong with experiment while making shorts, sometimes you'll find stuff that works, sometimes you won't. Sometimes stuff will just need tweaking, realism should never be a requirement for movies.

Thanks for the kind words!
Yeah, the grading was a bit extreme, but we obviously weren't going for realism on this one... But we might have gone a bit too far over the edge

Well the footage looked good and I wasn't bored.
I think you went a bit too extreme on the grading, when the 'dear diary' shot came up (which was graded differently) I assumed the extreme grading was reserved for setting the past apart from the present, but when we returned to the great outdoors that proved wrong. The 'Dear diary' sequence made that character seem like he would be the main character however I was once again wrong. I think if you had taken out that scene and character and put a few more gags in you could have had a nice and fun short.
I'll give it a 3
