There's a shot early on (one of the first outside shots) that looks like there was some sort of problem with automatic image stabilization, but other than that your shots seemed... clean? I'm sure that's the term. In terms of the way the shots are composed I don't really agree with, but I'm...

As it's your first short film, the problems with the script and acting are to be expected. Good acting is a very hard thing to do on a low budget, as I've mentioned countless times before to others, so don't worry too much about getting it spot on for your first couple of films. The main idea...

Ahaha, I quite liked it! It felt slightly too quick at some parts, mainly the beginning, but it was pretty good overall! Was that "not a damn thing!" line meant to be a reference to Chris Tucker? Because it doesn't work too well coming from a guy with a completely different personality (Chris...

I'm not entirely sure what I just watched, or what the message was that it was trying to portray. The only resemblance of a storyline I could gleam from it was that the main guy had been modelled into a workaholic by the education system, his own desires and dreams supressed to make way for the...

I agree with kinglis about the volume difference - I turned the volume up to hear the film, and then all of a sudden the music is destroying my headphones! Was actually really good though, it felt like a deleted scene out of a show like Teachers (the British version, I haven't seen the American...

I thought it was alright, could have really done with some background noise, though I understand that's quite hard to do when you're shooting outside. Even having the same style of music as the theme but really low used as background noise would make it a lot more interesting.

Shot Comparisons - the left hand side are the ones I thought were bad, and the right hand side are the ones I think were good. I don't have the time right now to list all of the shots (the last time I did that for a short it took me a good couple of hours or so), but really the vast majority of...

It was like Peep Show, but starring the parents of Charlie Brown. I found it enjoyable, but there are a few things that just feel... off about it. For one, you seem to be kicking yourself in the shin with the script if you were trying to make something that immerses the audience. The comical...

Wow! I'm sort of drunk right now and can't really piece together a story from the abstract imagery, but it was incredibly beautiful! I look forward to seeing more from you, you have some fantastic skills! My only gripe would be that there seems to be a vast difference in terms of how well done...

Ah, so the main problem you have is with syncing the sound in post? Making a loud noise visibly is the common work around for that - stereotypically you see it with movie slates that clack in front of the camera, but you can also just get one of the cast members to clap loudly before the scene...

Good sound is fairly simple to get, it's just hard to get the information to begin with. What you need is an external microphone and (if your camera doesn't support using one) an external recorder. Shotgun microphones are used to get audio from a specific point that the microphone is pointed at...

Does this film have a narrative? I think it's in the wrong sub board. And that is all I have to say about this film.

Ah, but those stories have been written with the plot structure in mind, whereas what you did was you took a plot made with a linear approach in mind and jumbled it up. There are often reasons behind using non-linear plot structures, for example in Memento the structure keeps the audience...

Something people tend to take for granted and not realize is that crossing the narration with the song's words is generally a bad thing. Often adverts tend to edit the songs in order to avoid having the words sang at the same time as the person on the advert, because it makes it hard to...

I'm not going to get on you about the specific character flaws (height, age and hair length), because those are problems that you expect from low budget films - perfect casting is very hard on a budget, and you can't really expect people that you don't pay (or if you do, you pay very little) to...

Cheers for linking it, subscribed. I love channels like this on YT, but never can find them myself.

It looks fairly nice, although the twist was definitely not that shocking after your description of the piece (though unrelated to the actual plot, it still had me questioning the things she was seeing enough to make them not at all shocking). As others have said too, you need to make a more...

I think you've done a fantastic job of showing a fairly coherent story without the use of dialogue. It's rare to see that done particularly well nowadays. Saying that, I think there was a bit too much emphasis on the guy who kills himself too early in the film - it made his story seem as...

As far as I know I don't think there's anything wrong with it, especially since it's only a very small part of the short film. I think he was just wondering where he remembered it from.

http://youtu.be/ENyGj_NQKkU Whistled in Kill Bill by the one-eyed nurse whilst she goes to "visit" The Bride whilst she's in a coma in hospital. At least, I think that's where this came from, though it may have been inspired or even took from somewhere before that.
