Loving the acting styles! Mixing campy with dramatic but it intertwines so well. Usually when you see this dynamic the dramatic becomes laughable. Sometimes on purpose, sometimes not. Here, I like how it all intertwines. Dramatic performances with the campy, together, it comes across as desperation when dealing with the incompetent. Well done!
Great description and something we can all relate to
That is a great description. It's a fine line, but it's a style that I use in almost all of my work. In this case, a bit more so. Michael Kearney heard I was making this, so he asked if he could write a script from my story. Since I'm also working on EVIL DWELLS WITHIN, which Michael is also in (he's one of the video gamers from that
CLIP I previously posted; the guy in the hat.) I thought it was a good idea to let him shoulder the screenplay load.
I originally intended this to be more serious. When he sent me the first draft, there was a lot more camp and comedy than I expected, but the dialogue and characters were well done, so I kept most of that. Always a slippery slope when doing camp, but I almost can't help myself!
LOL. Loved the bear! Pretty sure I LAUGHED in ALL THE RIGHT PLACES! Good stuff.
*EDIT: Loved your actors too! They were good!
Thanks! You have to have the "suspect." Like when the men capture that first shark, in JAWS. I know it's not 100% convincing, but the actors just saw this shot for the first time, when I dropped the trailer, yesterday. They seem to like it.
Yes, I'm so happy with this group of actors. Not only are they good, but they are super nice, and do multiple things on set, like booming, holding lights, the whole gamut. I saw Abby (the lead) in some 48 Hour shorts, years back. She has that Kristen Stewart (TWILIGHT movies) expression, which I just love.
