Thanks John. Nice to hear it. ;) Yes, that's an excellent idea for the chat room. Do you think it all comes down to experience? The more actors you direct, the better you get at it?

Thanks very much Denis and John, that helps a lot. :) Not sure what I did wrong with my actors, pushed their performances too far. Need to tone it down, more subtle, less pronouced maybe. I'm taking the lighting thing to heart, now that you pointed it out it sticks out like a sore thumb. LOL...

A good critique will NOT attack the film maker, just the film. When you get a review that say "This writer/director/editor stinks!" you have to divorce yourself from that kind of talk and wait/hope for someone to explain where and why "the movie" stinks. Telling someone what's wrong with a film...

Who was over the top? Was it all of them? This was my first time directing actors so the more mistakes I pick up on the better. The mummy was actually an old plastic doll. The knees, elbows and shoulders were cut and hinges added. Then it was a simple matter of puppetry. John B. did ALL the...

Thanks bird, very nice of you. :)

No Strings Attached has an original score by Mark Mainero.

Netflix of late but before that my only exposure was IFC and Sundance channels.

Gotta agree with ZS, shoot again if you got the time, it just makes good sense. I've never played with croma keying though I'll wager her shiny coat doesn't help. I also read somewhere you blue screen blond actors and green screen dark haired ones.

The mark of a true professional. ;) Nicely done ZS, very enjoyable. The titles in the middle gave it an edgy feel for me (a good thing). A little too heavy on the eye makeup, it softens later in the film but for some reason it's really pronouced in that first shot after the scream. He says...

Really like the story concept. Very expensive looking knife too. ;) The parts where the actress speeds up, probably don't need that. Not sure if you were long on time or if you wanted it to look that way for a reason. Solid effort though.

This one weirded me out. Maybe because I have a 3 year old at home but YIKES! Way to build the suspense. Nicely done.

Came out really nicely CootDog. Naked guy in shower after a fresh kill chilled me to my bone.

Nice job JD! Would have been real easy to loose this movie's meaning in editing, but you held it tight. Love those titles too.

Yikes, tough job doing that. Did you color correct in post? I'm amazed. Nice movie Spatula. :cool: It's getting harder and harder to imagine you NOT covered in corn syrup. :lol:

Very nicely done you guys.

Got them all. :)

No Strings Attached I'm a writer by trade. I've been through many fiction writing workshops so feel free to critique as hard as you want. :cool: Production notes: Yes we did use a seperate sound system but only half of it came out so I kept the camera mic sound. HUGE mistake on my part...

I'm sorry Krishna, I get DV-itis sometimes thinking everybody must be shooting video these days, my bad.

Welcome to the board Shawnie.boi, hope you enjoy your stay. Screenplays you want to have critiqued, post them in the screenwriting sub forum of Script to Screen. Never needed a free place to host files so I'll defer that to someone who's had experience. Stay fresh.

Most peeps use a small TV to monitor what they shoot anyway. Just need to buy one of those long S-video cables to run down the jib. It's much better If you don't rely on the LCD display of your camera for color anyway.
