Trigger

Vic can't sleep, so he plays video games oblivious to the fact that his flatmates are secret agents leading exciting lives, battling bad guys. Dragon v Mouse have done a few 48s now and have produced an entertaining piece for 2013. The comedic timing of Vic was brilliant for the most part and the dynamic action sequences provided good entertainment. However, there's not really much of a story here to get too enthused over. Enjoyable though and certainly well-received by the audience.

This was a tough genre to get right, and while this team didn't quite nail it, they had a lot of fun along the way. The highlight was easily our video-game-playing Vic Meyer, with some hilarious character shots that lingered on his slobbish mundanities, such as him eating snack food while staring zombie-like at the screen. The other thread was a kind of secret agent / assassin thriller, with a very funny recurring gag of agents throwing their mobiles disdainfully and violently at the ground whenever they finished their phonecalls. I guess my only real gripe was that the reveal of the action thread being the game that Vic Meyer was playing seemed like the most obvious connection, and so it didn't function well for me as a twist. That said, I'm not sure what I would have preferred. Anyway, lots of fun, well done.

Fantastic intro. Great, exciting music at the start. Liked the editing/cuts with the playstation. Audio is a bit rough... sounds like it was recorded on a phone or something. Liked the editing/sound effects of the guy getting dressed/ready. Nice throw back to Nicky Brick on the birthday card. Loved the scene of opening the trunk and firing thrice. Fantastic cereal eating to back to playstation sequence. Loved the throwing the phone down every time she finished talking. Not sure about the ending.
