    archived-videos Coffee And Cigarettes: Love?

    I stopped about 5 mins in. The dialogue failed to pull me in. It looked okay. We saw a lot of the guy on the left. Would have been nice to see some reaction shots. The main problem is the dialogue. Too many "ums." I don't know if this was scripted, or ad lib. Either way, it didn't flow...

    Something sounds off with the sound, in relation to the VO and the music. ???

    archived-videos Throw Me to the Dogs - Danny Boyle award-winning short film

    The fighting/tussling scenes seemed off. As if everyone were avoiding the camera. The story was too abrupt for me. Broken window, BOOM, soccer team. Other than the shakey-cam, I thought it looked nice.

    archived-videos One long shot TEASER to my second TV Series - $2000 budget

    I wonder why you went with the "shakey cam?" A stone-still camera would sell the isolated desperate situation this guy seems to be in. Also, this scene seems to be too bright, or not bright enough. I mean, with the current brightness in the clip, it seems to need some shadow, or some context as...

    archived-videos Devout - Dramatic Short Trailer

    Pace was waaay too slow. While the music is beautiful, it adds nothing to the trailer. I would think faster cuts, with some music, that builds to where she says, "He's done something." towards the 3/4 mark. Instead of in the middle. I actually did the following: I muted your clip and played...

    Enjoyed both of the reviews. That HDMI looks pretty cool.

    I like it. The style of the title, at the end, doesn't seem to fit IMO.

    archived-videos FILM FESTIVAL TURKEY

    I didn't like whatever effect you had on the whole film, or maybe it was the low light conditions. At the beginning, it would be nice to know why he is there, or some hint anyway. I liked the shot where the monster came running out of the dark, but then there was that blue effect, and that...

    archived-videos Dog Day: A Digital Short

    Looked like a practice film for a new camera? Some of the shots/angles were nice. I didn't get an over all feel for the film other than the guy playing with his dog.

    archived-videos Super Power Poker 2.0 --- A Comedy VFX Short!!

    It was a fun watch, but it felt like the whole thing was a prop for the effects. Everything looked good, but the story/comedy was a bit bland.

    Oh, HI Indietalk!

    Word up dude! :) I just came back myself.

    archived-videos GRAND THEFT UH-OH (COMEDY)

    Between the title and the opening shot, it was pretty obvious what was going to happen. That being the case you really need to bring the funny, or get those guys tied up in an unexpected way. Black haired dude's part was pretty good, but could have used a lot less "okay now I'm going into "trick...

    Here's one I wrote: A bud bursts. Leaves whisper to lovers searching, new. Children play, suns set.

    archived-videos Hacked A Dreambook Trailer

    Some of the low light shots looked pretty good, but the day time shots not so much. I couldn't understand what the guy said at the very beginning. Is he the only actor is this?? Seemed some of the framing/angles/whatever could have been better for some of the shots. I'm thinking of the shot...

    archived-videos Eye of My Edge - Video Poem

    This probably goes in experimental. I didn't make it all the way through. I stopped because the poem didn't go, in any discernible way, with the film. The different shots seemed to be just shots. No pop, no wow. Just generic, point-the-camera-at-that-and-shoot shots. I don't know who...

    For a spur of the moment film it was good. If you're going to use a bow and arrow, at least look like you've picked one up before. :) Some of the framing could have been a little better, and the shaky-cam at the beginning wasn't enjoyable. Wherever you were shooting was beautiful. I don't...

    archived-videos Kill Basti V2.0

    Your live shots were so much better than your CG stuff that it became a distraction. I'm not tech savvy so I really can't give any advice. I always say, if you don't have time to commit to rehearsing a fight scene, better to find something else to fill the time. There were a couple moments in...
