I think this guy is a character.

Very interesting! Good start. I think this guy is a character. I also think that it would have been better if the guy would have been arrested for killing and got a lethal injection. Also, could have had better image quality. What kind of camera and editing did you use?

I did see a couple of continuity issues with the house in the first movie looking different with the pumpkin on it and then you gave the store clerk a dollar but he suddenly has the quarter.

Yeah, the two parts were filmed a year apart, so that naturally led to continuity issues in terms of scenery and *hair*. I know he gave the clerk a dollar, but actually, he gave him a dollar and 25 cents!....

As this film was mainly about the psychological effects of guilt, we felt that his getting arrested would take away from that, althought, we did play with the idea for a few days while we were writing Vol. 2.

We used a $200 dollar MiniDV camcorder, and the video was compressed to be put on the internet, so, the quality was diminished, although it looks relatively good uncompressed. Also, to give the film a different look, and to correspond with the "old silent" look, we added grain to the film.
