ah yeah that makes a lot more sense! Maybe whenever Collins enters the field we see him click on the shield (like in the video where you didnt show what it did yet - snazzy) and then maybe a sniper shot from the yet revealed bandits. That would show off the shield and caused the bandits to quickly change their tactics from hiding to getting up close and personal. make more of theeeeeeese!
awesome work! Only critiques would be the voice over at the end needs a little more isolation, you could 'hear' the room she was in. And ninja banditsin an open field for hand to hand seems a little impractical. Maybe if the ambush took place in his scrap yard with more cover for shooting and would present better opportunities for hand to hand encounters. But that'd require finding the right location which may not be available. BUT FREAKING AWESOME! I really want to know Collins back story
