archived-videos SHORT: In Soviet Russia

VERY, very shaky. Try attaching the camera to a small length of pipe big enough to be gripped with both hands, and put a small 3-5lb weight on the bottom end. The increased weight will seriously lower the amount of shaking. Plus, it only costs $10 or less. Good luck.
 
I got to agree with the shaky thing. I'm not so sure about the editing either -- maybe there weren't enough takes to make it smoother, but things like establishing shots and so on matters. I quit watching at :33 shortly after the actor pointed his rifle at his comrade friend. You don't point guns at people unless you plan to kill them. Believability just went out the window.

Good luck though.
