    Wow, that was a beautifully shot film!!! I see what Cracker Funk was saying about the whip pans....for some reason I never even thought to do that. Yes I agree we had some issue with the camera case fogging up. One of those little details I forgot to double check.

    Thanks Zensteve for the feedback!! I've always appreciated your critique. Yeah I see what you're saying, part of the reason I cut away from the POV was to show the good o'l bloody goodness haha. I felt the audience wouldn't be able to see everything that goes on if I consistently kept it in...

    archived-videos First Person Action Scene shot with the GoPro HERO3 at 2.7K!!!

    Hey all you indietalk folk, I've got another short film for you to critique!! Last December I shot my very first action short film. I decided to go with a first person perspective and use the new GoPro HERO3 Black Edition at 2.7K Cine and 24 frames per second. I'm completely new to the...

    archived-videos Critique wanted on 2 minute Thriller/Horror Film!!

    Thanks Joey for taking the time to respond, I really do appreciate your feedback! Yes there was so much more we wanted to do in regards to story and characterization but as you said, the time limit of the film really put a cap on the whole thing. And as far as a re-edit, we don't really have...

    archived-videos Critique wanted on 2 minute Thriller/Horror Film!!

    1. Yes I agree. We were struggling with the reason why she was just simply walking away without saying or doing anything further. A lot was sub-text in the script and I wanted it to be that way to avoid any needless dialogue. But of course then we struggled with making known what we needed...

    archived-videos Critique wanted on 2 minute Thriller/Horror Film!!

    Yes I agree on the set design. It needed more but due to our time crunch we couldn't put any more time into it. Haha well, ya never know. He might just be Keanu's creepy cousin ;D

    archived-videos ILL WILL [Short Revenge Film]

    I agree with Zensteve on the funky film artifacts, got distracting at times. Also, I felt there was something at the very end I was supposed to get, but from what I could see after rewinding it a couple of times, the final shot just looked like an open door. From hearing the man and the little...

    The ending in the trailer is what sold it for me. It seems you've got a pretty cool take on the Man vs. Himself theory. Definitely want to see it!

    Thanks a lot for the link, I was actually looking all over the internet for something that talked about the 180 rule (couldn't find it because I didn't know what it was called until now!). So the problem in my film was the fact that both characters were in the right of the frame? Is that why...

    archived-videos Diarrhear - A Comedy Short Film (FEEDBACK WANTED!!)

    Thank you very much Zensteve for the detailed response!! I agree with the fact I didn't use proper actors for the appropriate roles. I guess my thought was hey, I love to act and attempt anything and everything so I can expand my overall acting experience. But for the overall effect, yes, the...

    archived-videos Diarrhear - A Comedy Short Film (FEEDBACK WANTED!!)

    Thanks dude for the feedback! No I completely agree about the placement of the camera during the conversation by the bed. The eye levels were completely off. I didn't notice it while filming due to my inexperience and my cinematographer didn't realize it either. We both definitely learned our...

    Hey everybody. I just finished editing my newest comedy short film (it's only 4 min without credits so won't take much of your time!) that I wrote, directed, and starred in and would really appreciate your feedback. Filmmaking is my passion, I love it. But in order for me to become better at...

    Yeah I agree. Was trying to make it so the splatter would spray directly behind him but was trying to figure out how I'd do that....hopefully will figure it out soon! P.S. Does anyone know actually a tutorial on the splatter coming from behind a person (not spraying to the side)?

    Oh and I agree with the sound of the revolver. For one the gunshot wasn't from an actual revolver, and two I have to learn more on tweaking the audio levels properly. For future projects I will most likely be matching the correct gun shots with the appropriate guns if I have access to...

    Wow awesome stuff here, thanks it all made perfect sense. I knew there was something about the bullet hole that didn't look right and now that I think about it, the color and blur was definitely the problem (and the tracking too, still have to learn all that) Thanks a lot for the detailed...

    Thanks for the feedback! Yes I actually did add the sound in post but I recorded the gun shot from an actual gun so that probably helped.
