Cerebral Occupation
This was a good body switch movie with some interesting angles on the genre, and it wasn't tiredly predictable. Very good camera sound and editing in this movie. The script caused some arguments between myself and my son as to what was going on, but after a few minutes he convinced me that the script was deeper than the first look, and that the last woman with the gun would of been someone in the apartment building he would of quickly got in to take over the shooting. Interesting movie, may be a bit deep for some.
Choose Hers
Interesting portrayal of this genre. Unfortunately the movie had a few camera and sound issues which detracted the viewer and interrupted the story line. A good effort with the editing did allow continuity for the film, but was originality lacking.
Distortia
Interesting concept for this one room movie. A lot of visual effects interleaved with fascinating popups and script. The key actor was believable and held his character throughout the movie. Some great camera angles, editing and sound. Well put together.
Shake That
This had interesting dance and singing scenes around a boy meets girl, falls for girl script. There was some good camera work in this movie, and the editing was all good. The actors worked hard at the story line and gave a good performance. Hard to do musical or dance well in 48 hours, but you gave it a good shot.
RoboRevenge
Not really a lot of story line in this movie, but its special features and bonus languages made it hilarious. The camera, sound and acting skills were all in abundance here. Children's entertainment theme was a heavy part of this movie, which was not surprising given the actors involved. I suppose if you look for deep meaning you could see that it was a satire on V48hours , as there was not much story line after you had incorporated all the mandatory elements V48hours required, but that may be a bit deep for children entertainers to have thought of. But it was fun.
Nearest and Dearest
Well thought out and put together movie. Obvious talent with camera, sound and editing evident in this movie. The actors worked well at their parts, but there were times when they fell out of character. Easy to watch, but not an original story line, but in saying that with a crime genre it is hard to come up with an original idea in 48 hours. Well done.
DECEPTION
Found this movie a bit hard to keep up with. There was some very good camera work in places. Some of the characters needed defination, and a bit more work to aid following the movie. I thought the stunt work was well done, I felt every step all the way down and not just once.
The Final Battle
I liked this movie. The actors did a really good job of being convincing. The camera work and editing was done well, and sound was not an issue. Helped I suppose by being able to do it all in one room. Good all round short movie.
The Prophet
Interesting road movie with some delightful stage makeup and dress. Story line showed promise at the start, but felt it lost its way a bit during the movie. The prophet (guy with silver paint on neck) stayed in character throughout and was committed to his role and it showed. Well done. There were some editing and sound issues but otherwise was well constructed. Loved the opening Chairman Wow face.
RODE
Not a lot of story line, but loved the actor and his passion in the movie. There was some poor camera and sound in places, but overall well thought out and entertaining.
Moving On
Loved this movie, the flash backs, the packing all went together well. The murder spoilt the movie for me as the build up before that scene had been working really well, and why would you pack up a house and then drag out a body? However loved the acting, camera, sound and editing in this movie. A lot of talent in the script. Well done.
Where Do The Children Play?
There were some good camera shots and editing in this film. The young actors did a very convincing job with their characters. The story line was followed through and easy to identify. Not a lot of originality. Keep trying and good luck next year.
14 for the win
This was a very well put together movie. There was some great camera work and editing. The plot line was not very original but so what. The story was assisted with some great acting. Well done
It Only Works With Beans
A variation on the usual superhero movie. Everyone has a superhero status in this movie you only have to find out what it is. Some good camera, sound and editing makes this movie easy to watch. The actors clearly enjoyed their parts and had fun with them. This film was disqualified so better luck next time.
Porn Film; Untitled
Yes it was true to label complete with well positioned black card for the relevant scenes. I struggled to get a quest movie out of this, but hey it looked as thou they had fun making it. Loved the broken leg idea and thought the actor carried that off well, together with the perfectly believable bit of wire to do the scratchy bit. Some shaky bits (pun intended) with camera and sound issues and it was for me a bit slow but it did have bits in it that come back to you later and made you want to laugh.

The Box
Loved the concept in this movie. Good build up with the suspense. The movie was well acted with the actors being believable and consistent throughout. In all a good overall movie with good camera sound and editing. Shame it was disqualified. Better luck next year.
Junkie
This was a simple, easy to follow movie which had some good camera skills. Loved the shot from the bottom of the wheelie bin. Good editing made up for the some of the acting skills in this movie. The idea was inventive and the story line was consistently followed through the movie. The actors let their characters down from time to time. Thought that some scenes could of been shortened to keep the flow of the movie going. Throughly enjoyed the movie.
The Child Jumpers
Well thought out movie. To come up with something original like this is worth points. There were some sound, picture and editing issues, but the movie was well presented, followed its theme, and reached a conclusion. The actors played their parts well and I completely believed they would be guys who would run around jumping over children. Well done, as fad is not an easy genre, and you took it with gusto.
Bad Start
This was a fascinating movie that struggled to keep on track for me. The camera shots were well done, but the plot remained a mystery and I found it difficult to remember where we were going with it. Sorry it could just of been me and not being able to connect with the movie.
Surprise
This was an easy film to watch, the sound and camera work adding a special quality to the film. In fact the sound, camera work and editing seemed to create the special suspense that came with this film. The film was well thought out and although a bit over the top at the end, everybody dies!!!! was watchable. Better luck next year.

Bad Rock
Very well, put together horror based in Piha. Some good camera shots and editing. The actors took to their parts really well and apart from the odd blip in character portraits they all played their parts with great gusto. It is very hard to create a new story line on a genre that has really been around for a long time and I could not give this movie points for originality, but overall it was watchable and the genre was consistent and the story easy to follow.
