Stark nights

[Ryanrjack]

As I said in your other thread, I am totally in love with the look of the D90 footage. The colors and mood it creates seem so film like. I might have to get that camera.

BTW, how did you deal with recording and syncing the sound?

Thank you Chris for checking out our flick. As far as sound we used an H4 to record the audio and synced it up in FCP.

I must be honest, I'm pretty apprehensive about the idea of breaking a longer film into two parts and submitting them both into a competition with a six minute time limit. Feels a little unfair to the rest of the competitors that had to push hard to make the six minute mark.

Now that that's out of the way, this film certainly measures up with Gray Days very well. And I basically have the same likes and dislikes as before. This one certainly adds new ingredients to the mix, though.

I felt that the lead just wasn't hitting the right notes in this piece. During the first interrogation-type scene, he was neither menacing nor intimidating. I think that the gun certainly adds more power to his performance, and maybe that was what was intended. But he felt hesitant to me. It wasn't a bad performance by any stretch, but it certainly needed some refining and tuning up.

I really like the way this film looked most of the time, and my comments about Tony Scott-ism still holds, but you guys kept away from it well. And don't worry, I know that without the compression, it probably looks darn good.

Anyway, certainly an interesting viewing.

Interesting flick.

The title itself reminds me "Day watch" and "Night watch".. nothing relates though but I thought it's funny that we have in this fest "Gray Days" and "Stark Nights"

As usual.. I really like the visual of the film... nicely done! fits the genre real well!!!

Yeah I tried to come up with two titles that described the tone of the movies and that related to one another. If that makes sense...

Thanks for checking them out

Not sure if I agree with splitting one movie in two but whatever.
Wasn't sure about when things happen in this one, timeline was a bit confusing.

Really the same stuff I said about the first one I'd say about this.
(Maybe cause they're part of the whole.)

there's room for improvement but the grit and dirtiness of it really feels right.

Acting was hit or miss.

It's LATE, but I made a commitment to watch, rate, and comment on all the films before nights end. At this point, I've only got time to watch & rate, so I'm simply letting you know I've done so for yours.

If you'd like a specific review of your film, please just PM me to catch my attention, and I'd be glad to come back here & post a review.

I totally loved this two-parter. The gritty and grimy aesthetic l suites the story. It had the feel of the "100 Bullets" and "Criminal" graphic novels.

Awesome entry.
Bravo.
