    watch My somewhat disturbing short film; Dark Rose

    Great atmosphere, but I found the whole idea of him trying to make her love him to be contradicted by his overly violent approach to her. Little things like the speed at which he hit her with the axe and laughing when he turned back to the screen seemed to clash with his goal in a way that...

    watch "The Most of It" - a Comedy Short

    The actors you used are pretty darn good for an independent film, and for some reason it felt like I was watching a teen movie from the mid-80s akin to Teen Wolf or Weird Science - in a good way! This is also one of those rare times that, in my opinion, a lengthy static shot at the beginning...

    watch Matchmaker - Short Comedy

    I thought it was pretty good, but there were quite a few shots of at least the woman that seemed a bit too close for comfort, for example at 2:00. I also think the ending would have worked better if he had told her that the only option was [insert character here], she then get mad and ask if...

    watch To Live in Dreams (short film)

    I know a lot of the people here are new, I didn't "bash" what he said, I pointed out the things that I thought were bad about it, which itself is telling him what he could do better. Saying what I would have done with it was a way of helping him better understand what I meant in the paragraph...

    watch "Possessed" The Halloween Special

    I watched the other episodes, and besides being a tad rough around the edges I think they were pretty damn funny! Good work!

    watch "Possessed" The Halloween Special

    I thought it was good! There were a few problems here and there (especially with the last scene where they're driving in the car - the camera looking through the windshield should have been placed higher if you couldn't move those wipers, and the windshield should have been cleaned). One...

    watch LOVER BOY - short film teaser

    I thought for the most part it was pretty darn good! Can't say I understand it fully, but it was good none-the-less! The music for the credits was kind of off-tone though, don't you think?

    watch Two Red Bulls

    It took me a while to figure out what shot was the "poking their head through a small space like Jack Nicholson", but that was the guy through the car window at the beginning, right? I thought it was alright overall, especially for 24 hours. There were a couple of things off about it, like not...

    watch To Live in Dreams (short film)

    ...I didn't get it. Soldiers dream things we can't imagine? Well alright then, but I don't see the point of making a film about it. Nor did I fully understand the things you shot for it - sure, a soldier walking about and the sun is shining, etcetera etcetera, but the girl? When asked when to...

    watch new comedy - Room 4 - **Adult Content**

    The script for the most part was realistic, with some occasional dips that really stood out, like when Mike (?) said to Hayley "I've got something more appropriate" (or something like that) when talking about the banana, and when the woman at the Brothel shouts "SHE WHISTLES WHILE SHE GIVES YOU...

    watch HOW TO START A RIOT - did you miss out on the London riots?

    I wouldn't worry too much about spoilers, people tend to watch the video before reading all the comments people make. Maybe it was so much the cleanness of it as much as it is the background noise being so low in volume that the other sound in the scene seems completely unattached. Or it may...

    watch HOW TO START A RIOT - did you miss out on the London riots?

    I thought it was pretty good, there were only two little things that urked me about it - when the guy gets the idea to start his own riot, the shot zooms in slightly, then it cuts to a close shot of his face. Getting rid of the during-filming zooming from that would get rid of the problem. Also...

    watch So I directed a pilot? hmmm

    Practice makes perfect, as they say. My problem though is I never practice. The only thing I've shot so far is the two minute film opening last year for my media course (which was a terrible little short, but I made it to tick the boxes needed for an A grade), and I shot a tiny bit of my current...

    watch All Tied Up: Short Comedy Film

    It seemed to rely pretty heavily on the script to get the work done, with the acting taking back seat. The dialogue though... it didn't really have much to it. It was very simplistic (which isn't necessarily a bad thing), and it kept it... very passive. Not sure if that's the right word to use...

    watch So I directed a pilot? hmmm

    The only way is up! It takes a while for people to really like their own work - I haven't reached that stage yet, but then again I've not even began proper work on my first short yet, just done course related stuff. There is some good writing going on, and really each video will be a lesson to...

    watch Cell Phone Monologue

    Wow, that was pretty amazing! Literally the only thing I would say is that the shot you used of the guy to CGI the window effect should have been flipped horizontally - I didn't notice it until you actually spoke about it being done in post-production, but the arm he's holding the phone in is...

    watch So I directed a pilot? hmmm

    I agree with wheatgrinder, you'd be better off reshooting this and thinking it through again. There's some potential there (I'm guessing you're aiming at the Guy Ritchie audience), but it's riddled with poor decisions in terms of shot composition and camera work. For example, in the opening...

    watch "Thugged Out"- New Comedy Short

    The shot choices during the opening credits were fairly repetitive, and the sound throughout seems to be cutting off. I forget the proper term for it... It was alright though, good continuity between shots that weren't amazingly shot but weren't bad at all, and despite the sound problems it...

    watch Hey, check out this teaser trailer for the new Halo(fan made) short film!

    Not really a teaser, more of a clip taken out of context. The special effects from what you can see look nice, and the outfit looks alright. Really though there's not much to comment on at all.

    watch Guns, explosions, video games, and techno? YEAH

    I see more and more experimental and abstract films in the Narrative board every day... Edit: The special effects need more weight to them, for example during The Tanks rippling earth quake effect thing that knocks people over that could have really done with a sound effect of falling earth...
