Speaking as a writer, tthe rule is "never be afraid to cut something", to prune back superfluous words or rambling sentences. Sometimes, a paragraph or scene that worked so well in our head turns out to be out of place and breaks the pacing of the story, then it has to go. It can still go on the pile marked "ideas for later use". :)
The story is basic, but nice, but I think this would have fit the 1 min Short category more.
This could have been achieved by two things:
By an overhaul of the script, tightening the plot down to the most important bits (Newbie Heavy decides he needs a hat to be taken seriously, tries to steal a hat but fails but manages to prove himself by being brave, so the team presents him with a hat).
Avoid "empty" seconds where nothing much happens. Character is sad? Don't show him sitting around moping for 10 seconds, shorten it to 5 seconds, or cut to his face showing the emotion.
The Saxxy Awards are a short movie contest, the skill is to tell a story in as short as time as possible.
