Mayhem & Mistletoe

Dazzling edit. The use of color in this was magnificent. Very compelling, tight short. Takes place over the course of 5 minutes so there's no rush. This is such a great part in the film that to carve it out and recolor it like a cinematic graphic novel was a great idea, executed well. This is a cracking short.

There was one pan shot at 3:10 that was stuttering for me but that was all. Technically pitch perfect otherwise.

Use of colour and general visual realisation is excellent. Narrative is simple and concise. SFX sporadically drops out leaving just the score and I noticed one audio transition. A very good edit overall and wonderfully realised.

Exceptionally well done. Loved the use of colour and the short narrative felt complete and satisfying. Like another episode of Joker’s mailbag’s show really! Only a couple of hard audio cuts during Batman’s arrival on the scene caused a point off.

What a great little Christmas card this makes for your favorite Batman fan!
Wonderfully decolourized except for the gold, and the red.
Oh, those red cat lips.
Goes without saying, I liked the video work.
Audio was nice 2 channel, as well.
Best of all the narrative held together.
Very satisfying appetizer.

The Sin City approach was a great idea. It felt very natural meshed with Burton's style.
