I personally love the Viewer's Choice 2013's film; about a child who never really gets to take a break and play. Watch the video and you can really feel the strong emotions in this video. Really good!
Right in the feels :'(
But, of course it doesn't always have to be super sappy and sad or a tear-jerking kinda video. Like this one below, it's super funny! hahah I loveee it and I actually find it really relatable since, haha I'm always late loll :D
100% Relatable lol!
Or if you're more into like action/sci-fi/CGI kinda video, check out this one too, it's really out-of-the-box I would say. Haha! Would never have thought of this.. I guess that's why it won the Best Motion Picture 2012 Award. Good Job guys! Well deserved :)
Ayamm man!!! haha
So what are you waiting for?!!
GOOD LUCK :)
p/s: I also wasn't kidding about the being an actress in you films part. LOL! Find me ahhh :D
