    It's... alright. Not bad, but it just seems a bit slow compared to the song.

    archived-videos Sci-Fi Alien Short Film

    It really doesn't work without background music. I understand you may have been going for a lonely feel, but it just doesn't work, especially with the comedy elements in it. If you were still trying to go for a lonely feel you could always just right music yourself for it and get a program to...

    archived-videos Did stand up for my first time...though you guys may enjoy.

    Very nice! It's nice to see new comedians that actually have a lot of confidence on stage, because nowadays you see too many new comedians failing because they underestimate the pressure they're under from the audience. I particularly liked the joke about Sebastian the crab and sleep eating :)...

    I stand corrected! Looking forward to seeing it :)

    archived-videos Moments (Spy film)

    I think with the type of short film that this is (sort a narrative reflection on the guy's life), you really shouldn't have his face introduced in the first shot - normal set ups for films start off with an establishing shot of the scene, in your case a couple of shots of the city or something...

    archived-videos America Resolves the Debt Problem

    Then Saint Patrick's Day would become an economy-breaking holiday. The acting was pretty nice, but there seemed to be a few problems with the script. Everything felt a tad too forced, and too much like every line was trying to be funny - which, sadly, made it humourless. At several point there...

    archived-videos A Reap of Faith

    The shots of him getting ready were definitely too quick - I get that you were going for a Dexter-esque approach to seeing his morning routine, but lengthening each shot by about half a second (or there abouts) would make it a lot better. As the others mentioned, it doesn't really make sense...

    archived-videos The Equinox

    Sorry for not continuing the comment the other day, I had it all written out and then my computer decided to crash and I lost it all - by that point I was once again too tired to write more. Running has much higher back leg lifts, and the pause between steps is drastically decreased - taking...

    Help with first script

    I thought it was better at least, but the non-linear narrative wasn't really necessary. At least, I think that's what was happening - the make-up scenes all happened just before the final scene, right? Leading up to that last scene doesn't really make it more understandable why she killed...

    archived-videos The Equinox

    The opening animation ended a bit too abruptly, and started a tad too soon, in my opinion. Openings that use animations and the like tend to smooth themselves to a halt, like using a natural end in the music and the animation's pacing come to almost a stop, whereas yours just sort of keeps going...

    question about post-apocalypse filming..

    The main problem you're gonna have with trying to find a pre-existing set for a "nuclear apocalypse" is that the idea behind a nuclear apocalypse is "everything has been destroyed". Intact buildings or empty fields or whatever just wouldn't fit at all. Unless you're willing to burn down a...

    Help with first script

    I really didn't like the ending to that. I agree with kinglis, the whole set up seems to be much more appropriate for a comedy than a tragedy, despite the apparently "sad" nature of Shae's perspective. The ending loses much of it's effect due to the brief nature of the entire piece. I'm also...

    archived-videos Blood Money Short

    I quite like the opening credits. A lot of effort clearly went into it, and the blood effects on the cash were really nice. I'm guessing you were inspired by the 007 animation openings, right? My favourite's Casino Royale :) There were a few things off about it though. For one, the animation...

    archived-videos Dark America: The Final Abortion Debate

    To me it just seemed very dull and somewhat forced. The only sound being the voices and the long serious rants by the fetus were just boring to listen to. The news reporter seemed just weird, he tried to take everything seriously and then went off into tangents about things that were probably...

    Batman vs. Spiderman

    I still think Spiderman would have a good run for his money, seeing as Bruce Wayne is trained in martial arts. It'd be sort of a repeat of the wrestling match Spiderman has at the beginning of his career, but Bruce would actually know how to fight him and have though it through before hand...

    Batman beat Superman in a fight. I doubt Spiderman would be able to take him.

    Batman vs. Spiderman

    Nolan's one of my favourite directors nowadays, and the two Batman films have been amazing, so I'm definitely looking forward to the final film in the trilogy. The Amazing Spiderman... To me it just seems terrible from every angle. Literally the only thing I'm liking for it is the focus on Gwen...

    archived-videos The Unusual (calling of) Charlie Christmas

    You used a bad link to the Batman then: Well, not really - in the comic "finale" The Dark Knight Returns, he chases and cripples the Joker in a fairground, where the Joker then gets the last laugh and kills himself, but the police assume it was Batman who did it. From that point on, everyone...

    archived-videos The Unusual (calling of) Charlie Christmas

    So, from the looks of the trailer, it looked like you were going with a much darker approach to costumed vigilantes than films like Super or Kick-Ass, but you say he doesn't kill anyone? I'm looking forward to seeing the full film, but the trailer at two distinct points implies that he's going...

    archived-videos "Summer Falls" Comedy Short

    Also, something I just noticed - your camera seems to be autofocusing a lot. I didn't really catch it on the first watch (must not have been wearing my glasses), but there's some definite problem with the depth of field shifting a lot in many shots. It mainly started after the job-interview...
