Faulty Goods

Very clever idea, great interpretation of the genre, convincing acting and great ending. Very memorable.

My favourite from heat 2 other than my own for which I am biased :) Great production qualities, writing and acting.

one of the better films from the heat, certainly for the production values at the very least. good ending too.

Some nice acting here (appropriately wooden!), and it was strong enough that I don’t think you needed the captioning to lead your audience. The story was heading to end towards a cliché, but your end twisted nicely away from the obvious and was very enjoyable to watch. And I appreciate you steering well clear of cheap machine-related-sex-gags!!

After an argument leads to a couple splitting up, the man of the relationship invests in a Robobride “The Perfect Partner” to do his bidding. However, she’s not quite what he hoped for. Great story, told well with nice touches of humour. The montage of the Robobride being lovely was well executed, as was the general filming and sound quality. Along with the acting, the twist in the tail of this short was a pleasant surprise. Great work!

A warm and charming short, kind of WEIRD SCIENCE meets RUBY SPARKS. Great sense of humour and lovely consistent narrative pacing. Please make more films.

I thought the storyline itself was a bit average. The idea of a guy getting a robot girlfriend because he couldn't sustain a real one is not very original. The voice of the robot hardly matched the lips and dropped out at one stage although was needed. The acting was great though and the robot did very well. I did think the ending was cliché as well. But i think a job well done and you should be proud for the effort in 48 hours!

Cool-looking logo. Great shots outside, particuarly the back-lit one. Great sequence of loneliness. Fitting music, too. Nice voice over work. I liked the "chapters" with the logo-style stuff. Nice editing with the cleaning sequence into bed scene. Great acting by the lead. Convincing robot acting, too. I noticed you did a zoom seemingly with a DSLR, which is awkward and tough to pull off smoothly. lol @ David has a problem. Awesome ending. Well done.
