Hugo It's a Wonderful Life (less visual art perhaps, but one of the most inspirational films I've seen) Life of Pi Gattaca The Intouchables

It makes sense to me, but it does feel a little generic. There's nothing particularly interesting happening (of course context might change that).

I know next to nothing about audio, but since we're talking about money I'll pitch in since it seems I'm the only one whose budget is the same order of magnitude as weathergeek96. My mic and recorder together cost ~$120. It's nowhere near the quality other people get--besides, I don't have the...

You might like Following or Eraserhead Or even The Cube (1969), though it's technically a TV episode. And since you mention a propensity towards cheaper effects, you might like The Saddest Music in the World.

PJ used lots of sweeping shots in LotR. I didn't notice much difference between the amount of moving shots, and I definitely didn't get nauseated. And of course it's unnecessary. It's entertainment, not food. Because Dale was destroyed long ago, and there were already enough flashbacks. The...

The sword was Orcrist, if I remember correctly. But you're nitpicking beyond reason. I can't think of a single action movie that doesn't have "problems" like that. Out of all the problems with non-existent character development and completely unrealistic survival rates, you pick on: Legolas'...

I'd have to disagree on Bioshock (the first one, anyway, I haven't played the others). The story barely effects gameplay. There are only a few instances where the story is attached to what my character is doing, and one of them is a cutscene. The game is brilliant, and the story is pretty good...

Ennio Morricone, Howard Shore, Hans Zimmer and Yann Tiersen are some of my favorites. I began putting together a playlist of my favorite tracks on YouTube a while ago. It's got some video game tracks in there, too. http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaKEx2CJjJ6iezg3bsNL91p5vw1Ytweod

No, but if you're super desperate to get feedback, I'll review a short film for you.

If I really feel the need to make a movie and there's no one around to film with, I fall back on Lego stopmotion or puppetry. Obviously it's pretty crude, but you can still play with cinematography and editing. On a different note, I am happy to see that other people here use Blender as well. I...

Just finished this up a few hours ago. I posted the trailer a while back. This was our first attempt at making something super VFX heavy. We filmed it last summer and slowly edited since then. It's better than I expected, because we learned how to do the effects as we went, and it is a $0...

Just saw We're the Millers and loved it. It's one of maybe four movies that I actually laughed at, so I'd say it succeeded as a comedy. The story is nothing new or particularly interesting, but it was a ton of fun.

In my opinion, it's unnecessary to set up the history. If you really want it, keep it short; a third of the running time devoted to a history lesson would turn me off, unless it was told in an interesting way (ie not a narration) and was extremely pertinent to the detective story. Still, it...

The Book Thief was such a good book. I've been looking forward to that movie for a while. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty trailer was great, so now I really want to see that. And Inside Llewyn Davis. It looks like expensive eye candy to me. Does anyone else think Out of the Furnace will be...

Once Upon a Time in the West or The Lord of the Rings gets my vote. I was rather ambivalent towards Schindler's List, as I am towards most Spielberg movies.

Thanks for actually looking at my site! (As far as I know, you're the first) Yeah, PM me your email. I use Blender for all visual post production. It's primary use is creating 3D models, but it has all the tools for other video editing as well, and it's open source. It has a timeline for...

I won't be able to do it until next Wednesday, and I don't think I can get the silhouette. Should I email it to you when it's done?

I might be able to help, but my equipment is rather low end. What video quality are you looking for and does it need decent audio? What type of terrain/setting are you looking for precisely?

The stopmotion is good. The lighting is consistent within scenes and the front porch set is nice. That moving camera in the beginning is incredibly smooth; I've never gotten a stopmotion moving camera to work that well. The voices are a bit lackluster though. It's annoying when a full 1/4 of...

After watching that, I still have no idea what this movie you're making is about. It looks like an action movie (from all the explosions), but your indiegogo says it's a comedy. I think you should explain in the movie what this is beyond "a movie we want money for."
