"The Hitman" a new short

Nice job!
One small note. The shade of the hitman when he fires his gun, would never be like that. But apart from that, I didn't see any weird stuff.

There's actually a pretty funny story about the shadow of the gun on the door. That was our last shot and it was about 3am. We wanted to get it all in one shot, so we had the Hitman go in through the door, then take the flashlight and point it back at the gun to get the shadow to show up on the door. Of course a muzzle flash would never work like that, but we felt like it was a cold and simple way to show "the hit". Sometimes, it's just time to go to bed...lol.

Excellently done, as everyone else has already pointed out! A few things that bugged me slightly: I get that it was supposed to be an experimental project trying to see how far you could push the 7D, but I desperately hope you don't continue to rely on the large sensor in such low lighting. Too much bokeh is not actually awesome, it's just too much. You want to aim for additional lighting whenever you can get it, and use the shallow depth of field as subtly as possible. Also, for the first several shots, your actor's head is cut off. I'm not sure if that happened in post when you adjusted the aspect ratio or if you shot it like that, but I found it pretty distracting.

Otherwise, it was completely fantastic. I actually really appreciated the shadow effect during the kill, even if it's not realistic. Sometimes you just have to bend reality and push people's imaginations, and that's alright.
