how? what? this is actually incredible. Your transitions are insane, like almost edgar wright level (and i don't say that lightly). Your cinematography is rediculous. Your visual story telling is on POINT. How are you a student applying for the same programs as me? I don't understand. Incredible work! You better get in!

You know what, your work is a film application sample in China, which watched and learned by many of the students who want to make a film portfolio in China. I just want to say, your storytelling skill is such mature. This is not like a student work, but more like an experienced filmmakers work. I'm a Chinese high school student now and I'm filming my own work as well, I hope I can successfully be accepted by some important film schools. men, never give up! you can be somebody!
