    Very good guys. Congratulations on a great effort. Great job on the credits.

    Thanks!

    Really funny but yeah, the audio is atrocious. Fix the levels and lack of a right channel in places and you'll have something to show your grandkids.

    I loved the... credits. They were very legible.

    As a professional maker of video and film I thought this was fantastic. The criticisms about left channel, volume, was bull**** -- true but irrelevant. It's hysterical. I agree the ads are a drag though. Well done. Looking forward to the next.

    EXCELLENT use of home-school guy's wife in the desk photo. Well done, good video overall - get the audio sorted out and it'd be perfect.

    This video is made of pure win, there's no other way I could express that.

    "This is my boomstick!"

    My 360 just got a single Red Light of Death, and I have to walk to my classes in the rain. but this just made my day a little brighter.:P

    I'd seriously trade up my 360 and iPhone for one of these. Seriously.

    The only thing is the audio; video's grat, but like mentioned, the audio could use some work. Get a couple of wireless mics, then sync the captured audio with the video in your editing application.Also, make sure you pan & equalize the audio to the center; sometimes it drifts off to the left speaker or gets insanely loud out of nowhere; you don't want to bust anyone's speakers. Just fix those things and you'll have professional sounding audio.

    Oh, and by the way, you've been featured on engadget!

    Congratulations! ^_^

    "Pure win." Best comment ever. Thanks for the advice. We've learned many lessons through this process.

    Hilarious video! Lot of good lines!
    I agree with Racecar's comment below, just try and wrangle that sound next time (it's always a wily one)

    "THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK!"

    ^ best line in the video

    video editing's not bad but the audio on this is practically unusable. whole segments only have audio in the left channel... the dynamic range is so wide that i keep having to turn the volume up and down, up and down... in some spots the dialogue is inaudible unless i turn it up, and then 5 seconds later there'll be a noise that's so loud it damaged my speakers.

    compressor. limiter. copy left channel to right -- these are your friends.

    also the ads on this site are obnoxious. do us a favor and throw it on youtube next time.

    Thanks for sticking up for us. However, I have to agree with some of the criticism. This is our first video...EVER. We're learning as we go. Hopefully, we'll work out the bugs next time.

    Thanks again.

    A short film introducing the world to Datastorm, a device derived from retrotechnology and perfect for high-speed, wireless data transfer. The Datastorm delivers 3.5" floppy disks to your PC, among other devices, with extreme prejudice. It is also highly dangerous and is an effective assault weapon as is presented in this movie.
