Red And Blue Comments - Bryan & Chak




It's nice to see the crazy brothers do something nicely dramatic, but you did keep the brother connection in your work.  The story is very nice and you use a good variety of shots to tell it.  I think the fact that Blue gives Red the toy while he is in the hospital is a bit confusing.  The rest of the piece is very realistic and I guess that sets off my "is it possible for a boy sick in the hospital to go shopping for a toy for his brother" alarm.  I completely understand the reason for it being in the story but it feels awkward.  It would work better if Blue gives Red a robot because of Red's effort in making himself a robot and because it seemed like a very selfish moment when he asked his mother for a robot.  Then the giving of the robot, rather than a car, becomes an important part of the storytelling because it directly connects the actions and reactions of the two boys.
