Video submitted by:
Thomasina McCallion The concept of the video is to illustrate the fact that one in six people in the world go hungry through a dramatisation that shows one person going hungry in a group of six, while the rest of the group fails to notice.

its very face paced!
apart from the fact that its made in Derry hey...you couldn't mistake the graveyard, I think the best storyboard of the 6. a bit quick snap but otherwise well conceived. Well done hope you win!
Good Work :). I agree with Lawrence, definatley the best story board of the 6. However, I believe that the 'quick snap' fast cuts add to the ambience set within the piece; denoting a lack of control if you will. Best of luck to you Thomasina, I hope that you win!!
This video is the winner for me!
I agree with Stephenie, i really like this video and the fast cuts adds to it, makes you feel like your in the video! Good luck!
This is the best video!

i enjoyed the simplicity of this add loved the music it added to the advert.
Very well done. Best of the 6 for me.
They are all very awesome but this is the one i believe stands out the most. Best of luck with it Thomasina.
Brilliant work Thomasina - gets my vote. Hope you win!
its definately the best video of the six, great idea, well directed really pushes the concept of one in six home and exlemplifies the fact the hunger is on the rise. Good luck thomasina.
Best of the bunch - good luck Thomasina!
The video made me think of helping other people and made me more aware of things that I could do in the future.
We were very impressed with it - good luck in the competition.

Deserves to win.

Doh!
Great video
Great video.
It's a sad world were 1 in 6 of us go hungry.
By the way Ma, it’s ‘our fast paced lifestyle, not ‘are fast paced lifestyle. Doh!
Video gets my vote
Very good video with some nice shots, I really like the shot with the empty fridge. Who's that handsome devil with the sideburns? Hope you do well
Quite apt are the points that Stephenie & Bid made that I myself have nothing more to add other than best of luck to the lady who made the piece.
Very good video - best of luckage :-)
I like your interpretation. Although the text is too fast and it's hard to read it that quickly. But I voted for you. Good Luck!
I agree with Aileen - the text is too rapid but with time constraints it's hard to fit everything in. Gets my vote regardless. Best of luck!
How much of a dumbass do you have to be to not be able to read the text at that pace, well sayin you's aint avid readers!!
Sorry we're not all robots from the future with cybernetic eyes.
But I suppose if everybody in the world was exactly the same as you then you wouldn't be the only rude person posting here.
Good luck again Thomasina - though if you have uncouth supporters like that in your corner i'd start to worry.
Hi we loved the video and seeing granny's kitchen, good luck Thomasina love you lots x
Fair do's on the 'robots from the future with cybernetic eyes', gave me a chuckle :), although I honestly thought the text was fine but I suppose that is my opinion, and of course everyone is entitled to their own.
So apologies Fox, I didn't mean to be uncouth. I just didn't see the rationale in pointing out elements which may in ones personal opinion be deemed as faults; comments on this page should be to support this girl.
However, useful to note is the fact that this girl, Thomasina I believe, has achieved a place in the final five. Now, although I am not sure of the number of entries, don't you think that if there had of been a problem with the pace of text the piece wouldn't have got this far in the first place? Just a thought....
Excellant
Gets my vote
Well done Thomasina, loved the video..good luck.
Great job Thomasina. Liked the concept of everyone sorting themselves out first and as long as we are ok there are a lot of things we dont notice going on around us! Good luck, hope you do well and its the start of a bright future!!
I agree big time!!
Not very moving or touching... sorry...
I am a great fan of this video but if we can't live in a world where constructive criticism can be applied then what do we have? How do we progress in the future if we cannot improve ?
Take this in relation to the video's message - should we try and help like I have suggested? Or should we not "see the rationale in pointing out elements which may in ones personal opinion be deemed as faults" - such as the current plight in Africa perhaps?
We indeed are each entitled to our own opinions but as long as we can carry ourselves in a dignified and respectable manner then the world will listen.
Comments such as the one above me are only placed here by those trying to bring negativity. It is neither constructive nor helpful in the least.
I hope this competition doesn't descend into a slanging match between as everybody should be applauded for their efforts - and more importantly than anything the fact that Trócaire is spreading it's message is the true winner.
No doubt the rude, arrogant and opinionated will duly respond but I am now taking the higher road. This competition shouldn't be about us narking on each other - it should be about the impressive pieces of work that have been submitted.
Harry S. Truman once said "Carry the battle to them. Don't let them bring it to you. Put them on the defensive and don't ever apologize for anything."
The ball is in the court of the jester, but i will not be here to play when you arrive.
Good luck again with his video & i sincerely hope you do well.
good luck pecker lol the mackers xx
Great video Thomasina, well done&good luck!
Great video Thomasina,Good luck.xxx
Good luck Thomasina.
its not about "moving or touching" its about getting an important message across... which i think the video does quite well.
Great video, the message couldn't have been much clearer really... think our governments should be made to watch it, over and over... as some of them are pretty thick... ;) Good luck!
Good luck Thomasina.x
Great Video!

Very well done by some -one so young. It shows that many young people care about the world we live in, Good Luck in this competitition and all the best for your future life.
best from the best
excellent video message made was very clear and made me think.
Great video - good luck!
Fantastic Thomasina!! Very well done... fingers crossed!!
Read the article in the paper and decided to check the site out. Watched all videos which were all very well concieved, but thought that yours was truely excellent. Really makes you think; everyone ignores the plight of hunger, maybe because it does not effect us and thus out of sight out of mind. Love how this video shows what it would be like if individuals in our socity were going hungery. Very thought provoking. Well done. Gets my vote and support any day.
Grrrrreat video!!! Best of luck in the comp :-)
All the best
