And thank you for your acknowledgment. I don't care much for awards, but I thought our work on the film was the best of any film I've worked on. I'm glad that other people can see that. And I agree with Phil that the Supermarket scene is really something. MRA has been due for a while. Congratulations, Frank. And thank you for your acknowledgment.

Your sense of comic timing is exceptional (a trait I'd already noticed in Screen Scenes), and you really brought out the funny side of those early beta Moviestorm characters. For me, the part of the film that I think is pure genius and destined to be an iconic machinima moment, is the whole supermarket sequence. Those gorgeous reference photo backdrops, the writing and the VO delivery (featuring one of the most believable laughs I've heard in any animated short in a long time), the details of the sound (especially that announcer bit), the goofy Muzak-ish track... the way the first couple joke scenes overlapped a bit for continuity... everything about this sequence worked, and represents machinima at its absolute finest. There are other great moments in the film, too many to name. Great job, Frank! It was gratifying to see MRA get some award attention which I think was overdue.
