No Strings Attached

I'm a writer by trade. I've been through many fiction writing workshops so feel free to critique as hard as you want. :cool:

Production notes: Yes we did use a seperate sound system but only half of it came out so I kept the camera mic sound. HUGE mistake on my part. :blush: I ordered a Sony MZM100 Hi-MD to correct the problem. Shant happen again.

This was probably one of the biggest learning experiences in my life. We had a wonderful time making this, our first movie. Looking forward to making more. :yes:

Thanks to Indie and Poke for putting this all on (the contest, the board, everything) and for the prizes. This has become a wonderful place to visit for me. I hope for you all as well.

UPDATE: Kick me in the the head, somehow during the moving of things around in Vegas I cut off my Art Director / Prop Master's credit. I am horrified by the ommision. Please forgive me John B. I am truly sorry bud. John is the one who built the abdomen, the blood, the mummy, the knife, all the cool stuff.

Great job Boz. And as a first time, really impressive.

I won't remention things, but I'm sort of on the fence with the acting.

Maybe the acting toned down a little (remind the actors that it's video/film) would be better. If you play for the back row in video/film you look like you overacted. Tell them to play it for an audience of one. The director, person behind the camera, or other actor. That usually brings the acting back to earth.

But I sort of liked the over the top acting for this movie. The mother was creepier and the daughter odder. If they were more like real people, maybe it wouldn't have worked.

Either way, GREAT job!
