Hey Geoff, finally getting around to checking out the entries...

This was beautifully shot. Everything just melded together and nothing was out of place. The VO was perfect and I wouldn't change a thing about it. VO's are really a staple of the noir genre and it really helped to sell that.

As for performances, I think the alley scene seemed a bit forced and unnatural. But other than that, the performances worked well... especially with the voice over.

This was one of my favs. Might be biased but I really thought this was well crafted. Nice work dude.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the thoughts

Surprised this didn't place higher. This was my number 2.

Zak Forsman · 11-22-2009, 10:56 PM

Geoff, this was sincerely my favorite of the fest. I loved every beat right up to the last frame.

Geoff_R · 11-23-2009, 11:59 AM

Thanks, Zak. That means a lot coming from you as I've got deep respect for your skills and work.

Wow nice... I like the work (I know i'm late and all) the pacing was well done.
