    Terrible situation

    It can work, certainly. The problem was, for me at least, I had to become an acting teacher. My actors would show up to set unprepared, then we'd spend two hours just trying to get them off book on a 2 page scene. Let alone any sort of directing or blocking that needed to be.

    Terrible situation

    This exact same thing happened to me when i was shooting my feature. The two leads never came prepared and were, quite frankly, just plain bad. Everyday turned into me being an acting teacher. I wound up cancelling the film. I use Cracker Funk's method to an extent. Due to rigid scheduling and...

    archived-videos Honeymoon - Short Drama

    Hey everyone, I just finished up this short drama called Honeymoon and was hoping I could get some feedback. It was shot entirely in one day. It's quite a different project for me, so it was fun to do and hopefully is a nice change of pace from my usual work. A young man recalls the most...

    Hey all, I've recently recorded and released this song that I wrote a little while back. I threw together the video rather quickly with the aid of a friend so I'd have something to put with the song to get it out there. Here's a link to the song on YouTube...

    archived-videos Short Comedies

    I really enjoyed Volcano Guy, just because the guy is so animated and ridiculous. And I agree with someone who said the banana getting stuck in the door was hilarious. Some of the angles make a little uncomfortable because it often feels like you're looking down on the talent, but I'm not sure...

    archived-videos The Assassin (Short Film Trailer)

    Only thing I might say is that some of the acting felt a little less than convincing to me. Alas, there is not much to be done about that now and I'll wait for the whole film to come out to judge that. The trailer is cut pretty well and it seems to be shot quite nicely. I look forward to seeing...

    Hey all, Just released another short comedy. "Dr. Vincent is a psychiatrist with a short temper who just doesn't care about his patients, however, with a patient like Chris it's almost understandable." Let me know what you all think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9dZiHY8XWI...

    archived-videos The Cradle Will Fall: Short Thriller Film

    I did enjoy this quite a bit. A number of things in it put it above the average indie work. The camera work for the most part is quite nice. In some of the over the shoulder conversation shots between Detective Johnson and Claire I thought the framing was a little bit strange. The first time we...

    Hey all, A friend of mine who happens to make a lot of machinima films came to me and asked if he could create a music video to one of my original songs. I thought the idea was cool so we worked closely together on the concept and stories and this is what he came up with. What do you all think...

    archived-videos Trust - Short Thriller

    I don't know what to tell you. I'm really not too worried about it. As I said before, I'm not that worried about what you all think to start an investigation into the matter. If you don't like my movie or me, that's fine. I don't seek the approval of indietalk forums.

    Cracker Funk, that was very big of you not to respond in an unkind manner. Thanks for the comments :) In regards to the rest of you, I don't know if it's family or friends of mine posting. If it is, I didn't ask them to, that's all I can say about the subject. If you want to believe me, that's...

    Thanks! :) I'm glad you liked it and your comment is very encouraging. I don't follow this statement. Thanks a lot! This was a very helpful criticism and I find your points interesting. I agree that the gun play and the coke sniffing and such probably could have been done a bit better, this...

    I've had no experience with drugs, so that might be the problem. :P And I agree with you. I just realized that I wrote this about a year ago now...I didn't even think about that when shooting because it just took so long to shoot, so that's probably why the writing is a bit behind the scripts...

    archived-videos Trust - Short Thriller

    The reasons he's making irrational decisions is because he's high. He's an addict returning to his drug, so he's not making good decisions. I do also find the Tommy Wiseau comment harsh, hence why I don't understand it because that's one of the most terrible films and scripts I've ever seen...

    I'm here to do both. I want constructive feedback but if you tell me you stopped watching because Steve attacked Dwayne when Dwayne had him at gun point then I feel like I should at least try to explain why he did that... Constructive criticism is definitely what I want but I don't feel like...

    archived-videos Trust - Short Thriller

    I'm not sure I understand the feature film comment, sure it's a little fast paced, but it has a clear beginning, middle, and end. I don't understand the Tommy Wiseau-ish comment either. The characters are intentionally ambiguous. The idea is that you can't TRUST either of them and you don't know...
