I agree w JoshL. People are generally more impressed with a simpler movie done really well, then a more elaborate movie done ... well, not as well. And CG effects (as mentioned above) are rarely convincing unless you have major financing to have it done by a professional FX studio. Figure out...

Philosophy - read "Sophie's World." Don't read too many reviews about it before hand...there are some good twists that will be spoiled by careless reviewers. This is a fun way to get an introduction to Philosophy. You might be able to get some classic Plato for free - like The Republic.

And Martyrs.

Hard Candy is another one. Not the MOST - but it is up there for some. (Not to be confused with "Candy" starring Heath Ledger; or the even more awesome "Candy" starring Ewa Aulin.)

I'll second that. This one is a challenge.

My personal preference would be to select the best performance, but only if the shot flaws are slight. Try to evaluate the degree of the performance on a scale (like 1 to 10) and the severity of the shot flaw (1 to 10) and do some math to figure out which shot should win out. Then be prepared to...

Perhaps it might work to have a conversation with him and let him know - "These are all the things a director typically does. Do you want to do all of these things on your own, or do you want to share the director credit with me and I'll help you through all this stuff?"

It also depends on how much experience you have. If you are a seasoned pro, then skip the rest of my comment. If this is your first movie project (or within your first 2-3), then perhaps you should just make the movie you want to make. Don't try to force into a festival-friendly mode. You may...

Awesome!

This thread started out as a valuable discussion about the benefits of living in L.A., so let's keep this one on that topic.

Have you looked for internships / entry level jobs anywhere that can offer some insight into the video world? Like a TV studio, commercial / video production crew, things like that? Even carrying a light for a guy make wedding videos is a step in the right direction. You'll learn from that, and...

You forgot the award for best use of an inflatable sex toy.

I've added my judging comments for Destroyer in my original comments post.

If this was directed at me - I'll try to work up some more detailed notes and send them via private message later this week.

This site's members really excel at sharing information and helping others get better at what they do. You did some great work with your movie. Most importantly, you moved past dreaming about it and made it reality. That's perhaps the biggest accomplishment. For that ... congratulations!

Review Notes Quick note: Knightly chose to critique based on four categories; visuals, audio, creepiness, and story. I am not really much of an audio guy, so I am going to leave that critique to Knightly. Instead, I’d rather critique on performance, so I’ll swap in that category instead of...

Just a reminder to vote for your favorite at the top of the thread!

Don't forget...I'll also be throwing in my two cents as the guest judge. I should have my feedback posted by tonight!

Knightly will be collecting all submission links, and will be assembling them into a single thread for us all to review and enjoy. We'll also announce in this thread when the NEW thread is ready - but I'm sure you'll see it! Thanks to everyone for participating!

Now having said that, you could use the reverse to show him walking from the ledge (backwards, slowly) back to the door that leads to the roof. Intercut with that would be the scenes that that you described as being his motivators for jumping. The end could be where the two components meet in...
