    Tough competition rules I know, and an interesting style choosen but the disappearing assistant isn't really original and it didn't do anything for me, sorry.

    Like it a lot.

    Especially the straight one take shoot technique. Lots and lots of thought and energy.

    It was good to watch but I wouldn't call this a comedy. I'm not too sure what id call it!
