    Just made my first site, suggestions?

    I like the simplicity of it. Also agree on Michael comments. You might want to add a news section on the first page. This helps people visiting to know what is the latest.

    The video is great. At the beginning there was a bit too much movement compared towards the middle, but that was just a minor feeling. Also voted on youtube. Great.

    archived-videos The Move - My first (and maybe last) stunt

    Thanks, the box credits weren't really planned, you can even heard saying "it's so tacky..." We are a group from different countries, this one is a French, a Spanish, and the camera & else Dutch. We are located in Holland (Europe), and we don't speak the local language or the language of each...

    archived-videos The Move - My first (and maybe last) stunt

    This was our third short. In this one we wanted to try a couple of new things: stunts, and using green screen to get a hit. I think that these two were pretty ok. The script isn't that great, we didn't review it enough. And the audio needed improvement. But we only have one camera guy with a...

    archived-videos What do you think?

    Nice video with some great shots. A bit too long for my taste, the narrative over explains too much and the images too little at times. Like the deal in the park. Also some of the acting needs improvement, sometimes there are pauses in the cuts, which is like "please speed up! I can't wait for...

    archived-videos Disturbing, yet sexy commercial

    It was nicely composed. But at times it was hard to know what I was seing... and at some point I was like eics, eics, eics... still I watched at the end... and I thought "why is she spanking the other girl?". So I was confused enough to miss the logo completely :-D

    Funny attempt. There are good lipsync moments. And funny when you do the chorus, you could have played a bit more with that. It becomes a bit repetitive at times. And avoid laughing, although nice, on one of the shots from above you look like you are about to laugh, although I was almost...

    archived-videos First attempt.

    It's funnily made. I liked the way you look at your other you :-) I believe that if your table was bigger than that you didn't really need a green screen, as long as the camera doesn't move you could have split the screen in two. But I am a bad editor, I have seen it made with final cut pro...

    How have you taught yourself?

    This is how I learnt... and still learning as I am pretty amateurish :-) I watched a lot of films and read a lot. This allows you knowing ways to develop plots, and also to have ideas. Then I read Josh Becker's book "the Complete Guide to Low-budget Feature Filmmaking" which provides quite a...

    Hate Actors

    I have acted on student films several times, always for free. It was an interesting experience, and always nice to work with semiprofesional equipment. I make my own films but my equipment is low budget. Most of the time the students are badly prepared, the script is poor and delivered the day...

    I still don't get it

    Well, I am not a pro writer, but I make my own scripts and I like to read a lot. First there are a lot of free material out there. From real stories in the news, or check websites with royalty free short stories for inspiration. As a tip, just start for short stories, if you manage to nail...

    Nice trailer. If I was interested in rap and its industry looks like a pretty attractive film.

    archived-videos Killer on the loose -Surreal comedy-

    Ok, this is no award winning video, not even close. So you understand the background, we were going to meet for a day shooting but my fellow actor friend couldn't come. So while having a coffee we were watching videos about how to recreate car crashes. With a rush of silliness we thought of this...

    archived-videos Health-Courtship Music Video!

    It's a nice montage with cool colours combination. However I found it a bit repetitive considering that it was just 56 seconds.

    archived-videos Still Love

    Nice idea. It can work. From the story point of view I would bring the conflict earlier. As Zensteve says, it gets a bit repetitive, and I think that there is more potential on the conflict of the painting cheating with Lilcoln(?) - that was pretty funny - Also you can use more theater like...

    archived-videos First music video - Eedem "Close your eyes"

    Thanks Dreadylocks. We also liked that shot, I agree that it would have been nicer to link it with the next scene... Unfortuantely we planned the shooting quite poorly, so the next shot was actually used at a later stage to allow a bit more of different situations. We tried to recreate a...

    archived-videos 'alone' - a zero budget short, and how I did it.

    I liked it. Considering the style the sound was acceptable. Some of the camera settings caused a bit of blur at times. Still, the acting was convincing and most of the situations credible, some were a bit forced though. The part that didn't convince me a lot is the fact that the story didn't...

    archived-videos First music video - Eedem "Close your eyes"

    This is the first music video that we did fully ourselves. I just asked a friend of mine if he wanted us to make a video for one of his songs. He proposed "close your eyes", considering that the song doesn't have lyrics, this is what it inspired. With only one normal HD cam, basic lighting...
