I have had a run in with a con man once. Wish I had seen this video before I met the con. It's important to talk about this topic! Thank you for this video!

This was a clever video. Out of all the competition movies, this was the only one to blend a story and a how to lesson! Well done!

Don't trust anyone who wears a purple tie! What I really liked about this video is that it had it blended so many color schemes together so it kept me interested visually. Also, the story was compelling because I never expected the policeman to be an accomplice to the con man. Plus, it was hilarious when he got punched in the face. Great job!

I was happily surprised that someone incorporated elements of the crime/thriller genre into a howcast video. That was a unique idea and it definitely served your story well. Having a narrator with a deep voice reminded me of ";The Killing"; by Kubrick or those episodes of America's Most Wanted. The costumes were great, especially the detectives out. Very convincing. That outside location under the bridge set the mood perfectly for that scene as well.

GREAT MOVIE! This is one of the only Howcast videos that actually incorporated the ";how to"; video into an actual movie. And what a well executed movie with: an interesting story, good camera shots at interior and exterior locations, good music, and good acting. Thanks for raising the bar on Howcast!

Why in the world would you jump on the cheating band wagon. I mean really...have you not read the comments on How To Handle an in-flight Emergency video.... you must be dumb! Being the number one video or the tenth video is the same...if you were gonna cheat you should be a little bit more clever than the idiot at the top. reread the rules moron. The Top Ten Videos compete against each other in the final round...being number one or number ten doesn't get you anything. Al you are doing is making it super obvious to Howcast that you are a cheater and should be disqualified.
