I'd like to present my first machinima with voice acting and a real story line basically.
Thanks to Murkey and goguapsy for their fantastic voice acting!
hopefully you will enjoy it!

That was awesome!
I must say I LOL'ed everytime Fred said "Yarp!"
And at the end... I was like "Oh, cool movie... WTF?????!?!" I wasn't expecting that at all! XD
Hey, I'd love doing more Machinimas with you, let me know if you got any plans! I can jump in with the story with you too! Pretty awesome editing there!
And, Murkey, if we ever play together, don't say yarp. I've heard it enough.
Yaaarpp

glad you like it!
I really laughed alot during the making because I listened to the different yarp versions over and over again and again when I edited the movie
It was really fun to do it though

The plot is ok and video is good, but quite honestly, the amount of random and useless F-bombs in every sentence completely destroys the whole immersion of having voice acting; the two guys sounds like some jerks rather than scared/angered.
An occasional one in comical scenes like the 'check if there's water' there's no f*****g water' is ok and would actually improve the comedy value, or when one of them gets shot and the other gets scared, but otherwise they just both sounded like a-holes, I actually felt great when the guy gets shot at the end because I felt no compassion for the character, probably not what you want if you want a thriller, at least make the viewer identify with the victim character or scare him, not this.
I know the feedback sounds uber-serious, but
voice acting and a real story line basically
make it sound something more than some pisstake video made for fun.

With that end comment I am not really in the mood to discuss this with you any further.
(and I think any video is made for fun btw, what other reason would there be for a free non profit youtube video?)
The rest of your post is legit I guess, maybe you are right about the f words. but I think you overrated that part.
Thanks for watching it anyway.

For reasons that were basically covered in Outlawz's post, I was rather unimpressed. The voice acting was just really terrible, and it often didn't match up with the head bobs and movements of the characters. Overall, it was fairly boring, but I applaud your effort.

GOOD I DON'T LIKE COMPASSION.
But BTW the f-using...
The plot writer actually said there are too many F-ss, and I agreed. He asked me to take off the ones that I thought were unnecessary.
I had a hard time doing that. Not anyone's fault, really. Just has to be more thought out both by the Voice Actors and the scriptwriter (he posted the reason of the F words, he did think there were many but he wasnt native US speaker and yeah, you know).
