Opening took a tad too long, in my opinion. For what the film was intended for, it did well. The cuts were fine. I'm not sure if the length of the video was a requirement or not, but if it wasn't, you should probably consider cutting it down considerably. There was a whole lot of nothing.

Looks like an interesting approach to the home movie style that people tend to use more for horros nowadays. Then again it could also just be a repeat of the events in Borat involving Pamela Anderson, but with less Borat. A nice trailer though, I'll look forward to checking it out :)

I'm just saying, if you don't want anyone to post anything that's non-positive in the YouTube comments, then it'd make more sense to disable commenting at all, because in the end the removed comments will appear as removed comments and others as spam (which can then be viewed and seen as...

Very nice work, very professionally done! The plot felt very similar in atmosphere to 'Tell Tale Heart' by Edgar Poe, one of my favourite short stories. I think what could have possibly been improved is the selection for shots just after the murder when they start to come back to life - it...

It just seems like over-the-top gore and the like just for the sake of it, with no actual reason for it whatsoever. The acting in just about every part of that trailer was overdone and completely out of place too. It just doesn't look good. The trailer gives a really terrible impression of the...

Nice little short comedy, my only real qualm being that the woman had apparently just entered the house, and THEN went to drink a cup of tea that was already out and presumably not hers / already cold by that point. Maybe dial up the humour just a tad? Seems a bit too neutral throughout the...

The acting was actually fine - for "found footage" filming, that kind of acting is actually perfect. It fits the style of video blogs and the like, which if you follow people like the ShayTards on YouTube you'll be able to compare. The guy behind the camera was a bit too intense, perhaps, when...

The opening was a bit repetitive, for the amount of time it took up at least. Perhaps jazzing up the action slightly rather than just having him clean the blood and rip his shirt. It was a very clever use of blood for the credits though – it just seemed a tad unrealistic when he took more than a...

It was alright to watch, sure. Not much of a fan of straight-forward comedy, but what was there was enjoyable to watch :)

I think the weakest part of the film was the script - words sound different when written down when they're actually said aloud, and it's something that when not took into consideration can leave the finished product feeling extremely cheesy, as is the problem here. Some parts like when the man...

It was fairly fun. Two things seems majorly off though: the inclusion of titles on-screen to signify time jumps of some sort, and the OJ joke. Now, the first one is kinda obvious and I'm not going to go too much into that. But it's the OJ joke that seemed really off-putting. I'm not saying that...

I quite liked the narration, as the others have said. Overall, it's a very fine short film - the acting was fine, the script was up to scratch and the casting wasn't bad, though, as the above guy said, you might have possibly been able to get someone else than Alex to play the prison guy, but he...

Not entirely sure what the problem might be... Is it the guys reflection in the first scene? I don't know whether he was meant to stop walking or whether he left the scene, but the girl acts like he's left and yet you see his feet stop moving and he stands just off camera.

I thought the realization of the woman's true motives by the man was a tad forced - finding someone who studies bugs for a living to also have an interest in Praying Mantises doesn't immediately make me freak out. Maybe leading up to that by having her say things related to the praying mantis'...

I thought it was pretty nice. The acting wasn't half bad and it was long enough to just get across the story well enough to be properly understood. Though, as you pointed out, the scenes were lit by candle light in the dark - as far as I know, this isn't common practice, and in my opinion...

Wow, that style is amazing! I especially love the camera work with it as well, gives it a definite feel of depth to it.

Wow, that was really nice! Very, very good, especially considering the short time frame to make it! Can't wait to see the director's cut :)

To increase the stability of shots, you should definitely consider making a steadicam rig of some sort. Here's a few links to how to make steadicams on a tight budget: 'The Merricam' - the $0 Steadicam (Someone on this forum linked to it) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JW6AWmqa8ZM The Fig Rig...

Often either made, found on e-bay, or found via specific sites you can get to through using a search engine. Making them yourself is often the better choice, because they're generally exactly how you want them to be by the end, with buying them being more expensive most of the time but obviously...
