HOLY CRAP THAT WAS HOT! Yo man that sh1t rocked. I'm glad you got your joint in. I like the mix of motion graphics to the live action. The editing was good for the little you had. The timing was on point too. I would really like to see a full version!

Dude, the very first frame freaked me the **** out!!!!!

Dude, I am usually NOT a fan of digital effects, but this thing had such a aura of fun about it, it really won me over. And the animation in the beginning was fantastic.

This is not done, right? I thought you were the guy who thought he had to drop out cause it wasn't done...
 
This is what I was working on for the fest. But I've been getting so much attention off It that I'm gonna have to make a full movie out of it. But I could make it better with that HVX! Help me out guys!!!!:thumbup::thumbup::thumbup::thumbup: GO VOTE!
 
Man too bad there is no VFX to the overall rating coz I admit, I gave you a 10! And the next highest score I gave was an 8 so far.
You are a master in VFX and you can pull some pretty sick stuff out of your head into the screen.
However your sound was no good. I know you did all by yourself and you deserve a lot of praise for it but if you paid more attention to sound levels and design you would have scored in my table a LOT higher. I also liked the score but you cut it quite abruptly so didnt get a chance to listen to it.
The intro with the graphics is awesome!
As for acting, you were great! Some really good stuff you did and were quite natural.
I left the screenplay for last. I dont know if there is a story in all this. But I dont care. I loved what I saw and hope to see you soon with a bigger and more complete project under your wings. Maybe try and work with someone else to boost each other's work! Good luck!
 
Let me say also you have great talent.

But I felt the whole pacing was off and story was confusing. It stared fairly slow building and as soon as it kicks into high gear its over. I didnt know what was going on and before I could get my head round it the credits were rolling.

This aside, it was definately worth watching and there was something about it that stuck with me after I had seen it. It had a nightmarish quality which I loved. Some moments of real potential in there. it was certianly freaky.
 
:thumbup:Thanks Buddy! Seeing the reviews most people got I was afraid when people get to my movie! Yeah as for the sound, there's some awsome sound effects in the feature but listening to them on pc speakers do no justice. Yeah but I know what you mean. I caught that early on and tried to get a fixed levels version to Jarred in time but it was too late. But Thanks man! This was all done in like a week tops so I didn't get to put a foot on those little notes till too late. Hopefully it was enough to get the point across.

Thanx for the reviews guys I love it! Thanks:thumbup::Drogar-Evil(DBG):

"MAMERAGEX FOR PRESIDENT!...Oh Uh I mean "DOnt Forget to VOTE!":zombie_smiley:

COOOL! :grin:Well that of all things! Is just as cool as me winning that camera! I Hope she can reach the keys to give me a good vote. can she type 10? lol:Drogar-Happy(DBG):. Thank you soo much! that definitely eased the tension. And tell yo cutie pie I said ":cheesy:tanks..tanks..a wot:2vrolijk_08:."
 
VFX were rock solid in this film. Nicely done! I really liked the intro as well leading into us into the story.

I know you put this together fast and I'm looking forward to what else is done to this film, but what I feel you're missing the most with this current piece is a visual story. I say visual because the narration in the beginning lays the foundation for the story, but in terms of it's cinematic story, I'm not getting that far. I hope you don't take this the wrong way because I think you have a lot of talent and more importantly, drive. I guess what I want from this is more drama; more emotional beats that define your characters and the world they live in. Shots/scenes without vfx which concentrate on building relationships. If you can succesfully integrate those elements with your vfx; then you're gold. Then you'll be one of those guys who can pave his own road to success.
 
Whoa! Thanks man! Yeah there is a few scenes that we have where there is open dialogue and character setup. But time & work was not on my side on this one. I'm already planning on reshooting more for this movie....Hmmm If only I had a better camera...lol Ok I promise I'm gonna stop hinting how much I want that camera! You guys can have the winning title, just give me the CAMERA!... oops sorry...did it again.:dankk2:
 
I understand you wanting the camera man but in my opinion, the HVX isn't 'that' superior to the DVX...now before I get eaten alive for saying that; I'm alluding to that in regards to the process of filmmaking in general.

When the DVX first came out some whatever years ago...I remember pulling it up at work and pointing out to my co-worker at the time, Brian, and going "you see this camera, If I had it, I could make movies! You have no idea!" I did this everyday and would next check out the G5s, again, every day... I've shot a lot of stuff with the DVX and starting to shoot with the HVX and sure it's a great resolution bump but storytelling is still storytelling, no matter which camera I'm holding. If someone smashed my HVX to pieces and forced me to make a movie with the DVX, I guarantee you that in the end, it'd be the exact same movie! It'd be the exact same story! There'd be a resolution loss, true, but great movies don't fall short due to a loss in resolution. I guess what I'm trying to say is, there are a lot of people out there who would die to have a DVX because then they too 'could make movies', and you've got one.

On the flipside (I tend to argue with myself sometimes...), you're a major VFX guy....so the increase in resolution is a little more valuable to you than the average person- BUT I think my general theory still applies...generally speaking of course :)
 
Yep! i agree with you 100%. And just as I was thinking it, you said it... It's a VFX help. Especially with green screen, so it would cut down tons of keying tweeks for the thinning out blur you get on fast motion. I also agree though. A good movie is still a good movie no matter what you shot it on. But I really want it cause I know what I could do with it.

Thanks man cool points. Now seeing that you got an HVX already...If you win you can donate it to the starving creative MAMERAGEX fund! lol:thumbsup:
 
Hey! We're all starving! heh, no really I am...I have a camera but no food and lots of debt.

But hey, since we're both in Chicago, we could potentially collaborate on some stuff in the future.
 
Yeah, My DVX is my debt. lol. Thats another reason I want this camera, to sell my DVX and be able to get some groceries.lol :beer:

Yeah, Collabos are cool. The only reason I did this by myself is cause my work schedule is so jacked up, I'm almost impossible to keep up with. plus I didn't wanna have to figure out how to split a camera.:happy:
 
Acting: Solid enough.
Script: A little light and confusing.
Direction: Good choice of shot’s.
Music: Thought the Spanish picking was a nice juxtaposition to the action.
Editing: Super tight! Superb!
Lighting: Very nicely done.
Loved: VFX (W.O.W.) The opening, The opening merging in with the live action, The blood track back (ACE!), Wall demon made me jump, door slamming (ACE again.), the death. The fact you did it own your own ++
Hated: It was just too short I wanted more, much more. Give us more!!! J
Overall: Loved it.

Look forward to more of your work.
J.P.
 
Thanks sooo much man! I was d\beginning to think no one else would bother to see it. Yeah this is a way smaller version from the original script, where I was actually supposed to play three characters. I got most of It shot, just couldn't edit it all in time. If I win buddy, I guarantee with an HVX I'll make a movie that'll have you squenchin in your seat so hard your back will ache when it's over! But we'll have to see how this race goes...So far I don't think I'm doin to well. But you never know how these things go. I'm still hopeful. :engel017:

Thanks for such an elaborate review! That was great.:beer:
