Oh wow, this is a definite improvement over the others you've made! The only problem I've seen is the style of the shots - they can't seem to decide on whether they're part of a narrative film or a sketch comedy. It's hard to explain what I mean by that... Compare the plain yet effective shots...

I have none of my actual work on YouTube, I think the guy just recognized my avatar from here. Some people are weird like that. I guess it does take some level of arrogance to be a good film maker - to have confidence in your own work. They'll probably never go through with their work if they...

The guns were done very nicely. The smoke effect wasn't very fitting... it was obviously an added effect, whereas you kind of want to aim for making it as fitting as possible. When it comes to post-production effects you hardly ever notice that they're there in major films, even if the audience...

Yeah, just kind of had to vent slightly. At least I kept it to the off-topic forum. I'll stop.

I wouldn't be so mad if they weren't making money from it. When I ignored a few comments he put: Somehow assuming I'd be going to Sundance, or that I'm some sort of representative for the film community. There are so many people on here doing their own thing at no profit and yet this guy gets...

Long story short, a guy from here spent all his money on his first film project, cried for a bit, then took the idea that someone supplied them about how they got messed over, and then got banned for some reason. They've now apparently got a thing for sending me insults over YouTube despite him...

I'm not saying get rid of the long scenes, I'm saying get rid of the long shots. From 07:51 to 10:05, you had just one shot for his entire story. As far as I know, this isn't common practise - it makes that part dull to watch. It could have been split apart by shots of what she's drawing, or...

The script was pretty damn good - it stayed humorous, and the lines actually felt natural. Too often with indie scripts the lines just feel forced, but the lines here were very smooth, no doubt aided by the perfect actors for the roles. Even if that is you and a friend, people often find it hard...

Ah, the curse of the film maker. If you pursue this as an actual career / extensive hobby, then you won't be able to avoid that. People always look back on their past works and think about what they could have done better. It even happens during the production stage! I remember for my AS...

That was pretty well done! Felt very similar in tone to Where The Wild Things Are. As some people have said though, it could have definitely been shortened down - seeing as the main sort of "high point" of the film was the news about his father dying, I think it could have been cut down...

Very nice camera work! The script and acting definitely needed some work though - the plot wasn't exactly the most logical and, as someone else said, the main two actors were a tad too young for their roles. Congratulations on the award!

The voice over could have been a bit clearer and the camera work was shaky. Did a good job of representing loneliness though, which matched the tone of the poem. Sorry for your loss.

In my opinion, him struggling with reciting the lines felt more appropriate - he already stated that he wasn't a scientist. It also adds to the idea that he's just remembering what he told himself all those years ago - after one conversation, I doubt he'd be able to remember it all completely.

Wow, calm down a bit there. You've explained over and over what your situation is. We get it. We understand. You just need to calm down, work your way past it by getting a job, and pursue something that doesn't take a lot of money to make a living on. Film making is, for almost all of us here...

If anything I think that story would be somewhat inspirational (as long as it turns out well) and educational for others. The story of how you spent your entire life savings, to then have it backfire completely, and instead of crying in a corner you just made a movie out of that is great. The...

You probably should have told us that stuff before. Still, the shoot could have also waited until after you got the funding from Hilton International. And even if you are well known in other areas, putting all of your money into a project in an area of media that you've not worked in is...

No UK distributor? Darn. Looks pretty interesting too. Nice review, DavyG!

You expect pity for spending all of your money on a single project, expecting it to make the money back despite not being that well-known - planning on merchandise for an unknown franchise is incredibly risky. Not many people buy merchandise for indy projects unless it's really amazing. I'm not...

If you didn't expect to gain profit from the series, then why did you spend all the money you had on it? There's a reason large production companies risk assess before helping with funding. Most indie film makers tend to ask for donations, or wait until they've got the money to spare as opposed...

Wow! For a short film that stayed in the same place for a considerable amount of time, you did a great job in keeping me hooked - I tend to find that kind of thing boring, especially when the only thing they're doing is talking. It has a sort of Donnie Darko feel to it, with the whole...
