    archived-videos New Dance Reel Project - Preview

    I like the setting and the image quite a lot. It has potential. Still it can be quite boring if all looks the same for 4 minutes or more.

    archived-videos Natasha Kizmet: The Movie

    It looks funny, good looking women are always interesting to watch :-) The audio and the setting looks great. On the lower side the story line starts a like a movie and then becomes more of a pre-staged mockudocumentary. What Borat managed to re-create during most of the film is reality, if we...

    Cameras make me sad :C

    We used mainly semi-pro borrowed cameras. And finally we bought a cheap digital HD camera with input mic. It's far from good. But we aren't looking for the best picture just yet. We have a lot to learn in front and behind the camera. If the footage and the idea is good you can still be...

    archived-videos Time flies (An amateur attempt)

    Denhaven, we realised the "staticness" when it was too late. Also because we lost a long time laughing... hard to keep straight face when someone looks at you dressed in black and with those gogles :-)

    archived-videos Time flies (An amateur attempt)

    Thanks Zensteve, I agree on the timing. Lack of time also to work on the filming. Also I find it that we should have different angles to improve the emotions, but one camera and no camera man! (yes, I was one of the flies). We had a mexican fly and a french fly, but maybe we should have just...

    archived-videos Runaway Beer - teaser

    I haven't had the chance to see the full movie but I will. The picture looks great and the acting convincing. I like the idea that most of the movie is silent... The radio in Spanish sounds funny (not native I could say), makes it a bit odd, and if you understand it distracting. Need to watch...

    Comments are welcome, we want to get better, and we aren't stopping. Currently editing our first music video on our own. On this one at least we learnt one basic lesson about the close up transition...

    archived-videos What if I was a Super Hero?...(Short film)

    It's a funny compilation. A bit flat and static without a real story. Nice joke at the end though with the time travel. Check the audio and lighting. The audio is quite poor and made me tired of hearing changes of noise. This guy also is a one man show (although sometimes he uses the...

    Old Shorts or scenes

    Looking for scripts to put on film? You can always take Shakespeare for that. You can probably find quite some material of short films made by early filmmakers in 1910-20, but not sure if they are still copyrighted.

    First film- some concerns

    On the script, write, rewrite, rewrite, and when you think it's perfect, rewrite again :) Mainly if you are aiming for big. What about crew? Do you have a crew with experience in camera, sound, and lighting? Have you tried to shoot just a scene to find out how it works out? Seen short films...

    Practice makes perfect

    With technical I meant all the things that have to do with lighting, camera, and sound. We was lucky enough to film our first shorts with someone that knew all about that, so we learnt a lot. Still it wasn't enough as we made quite some mistakes on the first short that we filmed without him...

    Practice makes perfect

    I agree with everyone, just get on and do it, if possible with people that will cope with stress, and losing time. The first times you might get many things wrong, on the technical side. Once you have mastered that a bit you can focus on the direction side more. In terms of schedule, whenever...

    Keep the logo, it's the best of the sample you made. The rest is too short to comment, but I like the figures, they have a lot of potential

    archived-videos psycow

    The psycho cow idea is funny, other than that there are many things to improve. The sound is really poor. Whenever music was used it's hidden, any other time there is far too much background noise, also on part 2. Scenes don't connect with each other properly. A girl is killed drinking milk but...

    archived-videos Music vid for Zolabud's - Lower East Side

    I like the setup of the dinning room. Simplistic but effective. The B&W and colour changes I'm not so keen on. It becomes a bit repetitive on the people walking on the street. From my side watching at it I'm more interested on the part with the singers, I'm dragged there to see if there is a...

    archived-videos Info. (Film Noir style short)

    Iceblue is right regarding the use of light. I find it really difficult, maybe more takes would have helped to get the right one. I guess it's time that gets on the way. Also the acting could be improved, mainly due to the fact that there are only two characters, and you rarely see one of them...

    archived-videos Time flies (An amateur attempt)

    This time around our camera/editor man wasn't available. But in order to keep momentum and because passion goes over talent, we decided to still film and edit this little film ourselves. We tried to film it on a TV sketch style, so it's pretty simple. Still we learnt a lot about filming angles...

    archived-videos A short and two features

    Interesting trailers. You managed to have a go at them! My hat is off to you. From the acting perspective, not sure if it's the takes from the trailer, there are a few odd pauses, like if they were getting concentrated to perform the action or say the sentence. It looks a bit unnatural. I saw...
