Welcome

Welcome, Welcome!

Wow! What cinematography! Some of the best I've seen in the festival!!!

The imagery was just stunning. The sound was stunning. The color was stunning. I loved that the only real color came with the O.D.! Very nice touch!!!

The titles were outstanding!

The story wasn't strong (like a slap in the face) but I liked that. I felt sad for this man. I wanted to know more about him. What drove him to his suicide. (if in fact he did commit suicide)

Great Job! I am looking to more work from you!!!

Congratulations!!!

I wanted make another comment that I forgot to throw in and that was the chairs in the classroom. I absolutely LOVED the glimpse of them all stacked up like that. Something about that was just wonderful. I keep thinking that there is a hidden meaning there. Like, the chaos of his mind that led to his death.

Also, I just read some of the other comments, I want to agree with the comment about the last sudden glimpse of the man. I really don't think that you need this. There is a sympathy for this man and that quickly took it away.

Just my opinion.

Again, GREAT JOB!!!

Ted
 
credits where cool .. the visuals you created where awsome.. I loved the way you made it feel like something was always going to happen... When he disappeared I was like that was pretty good.. CLANG!!! dammit got me nice one :)
 
Your credits were AMAZING. an that pill popping cut away was very nice.

Let me ask you actually, cause your movie has an effect that i find interesting, and both your film and Mscone's Stricken had it. that glowy skin tone look. How do you do that? is that a lighting trick that i just dont get? is it a CC trick? what do you do to get that effect.
 
Well, it's morning, I come down with a coffee and light a smoke.
Fired up the PC and start watching your clip. Coffee in right hand, cigarette in left, I sit admiring the intro with the letters. On comes the janitor.I'm admiring the look and professionalism and thinking "Gee, I wish I could do something like that."
The sound tells me something is going to happen somewhere in this movie.
I'm watching him mop the floor, quite relaxed. I glance to my left to put an ash
in the ashtray and boom. Coffee on my keyboard and damn near knocked the
ashtray over. "Dammit, he got me." From that point on you had my utmost attention for sure.
Never knew when they were going to happen. I had to watch a second time to
pay more attention to what was in those images as I found out the answer is in there. Thinking I may have it, I watched again and think I got the message down on the third go.
Okay, now that I'm wide awake, I think I'll make another coffee and hope I will actually get to drink it this time.

Good morning to you sir.
Well done. -gordo.
 
What a tight little ghost story...job well done :thumbsup:
...and you had the look and feel to boot.
I think that the running time coulda been cut down drastically -
which IMO woulda caused more of an impact with the audience...
(who knows...a mini-Sixth-Sense reveal may have materialized)
In any case...
One of my top ten​
 
Acting: Loved JDS in this, :) joke! Like the look of your character.
Script: O.K. lite, but I don’t care it was ace!:)
Direction: Some lovely inter-cutting ideas to me, felt like Kubrick had done it.
Music: Excellent, incredibly strong.
Editing: Superb!
Lighting: Flawless! :thumbup:
Loved: The title sequence, (great idea), first tracking shot cutting to that low one, ALL THE FRAMINGS.
Hated: The lack of script but I get your creating a feeling.
Overall: Your one of the last for me to view and review, you know what they say about saving the best. Top notch across the board. I think if you had a solid script to work with you might have wiped the competition out. Technically superb.:dankk2:

PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS ON 'BROKEN CIRCLE' (THANKS)

This has been so much fun!

This was one of the last films I saw, but I just wanted to say that I really loved it. It was one of my favorites. I thought the atmosphere was fantastic and the title sequence was brilliant.

Good luck with it,

Chris
 
This was really great. I'm sorry I found it so late. Damn alphabet.

Perhaps you should have changed the name to AAAWelcome?

Great acting. Great feel. Good work.

I'm confused about the printpress letters you used at the beginning and end though. They looked cool, but why?
 
In the mad rush to view films I think I overlooked the artistic statement you were making and focused too much on the got-me factor. Having spent my time working in factories I can say that I have seen how the sheer boredom/repetiveness brings (30%?) of the people into drug use just to get-through-it(My op).
I see it constanty in thier eyes. Prescription or street, it's a fact of life.
I lost a child-hood friend thru simalar circumstances, although not the same
as in your film, bennies..booze...ect. So, my previous comments stand and I'll
throw in artistic achievement as well. Maybe someday they (mods?) will allow a score for 'overall impact' or 'other' category other than just technical. Altough I think you aced it there as well.
 
I just wanted to say I loved the atmosphere you created with you sound design. It was spooky then straight shocking... Before I saw this, I never would have thought I could jump in fright over a water faucet. Great titles too, very creative.
 
I've previously gone on record with how much I appreciated your cinematography. However, I echo LingoThree in the question of why you chose the title sequence. Other than being 'nifty' I didn't see a connection to the theme or story so I was curious. It certainly was cool but I think I'd have rather seen something done against some of that wonderful imagery (faucets/floors etc.)
 
Thank you for all the reviews and comments. I look forward to showcasing my other projects in the future. You guys have been great.

The glowing skin tone is mostly a result of lighting and post work with magic bullet. Depending on what filters you use you can get a variety of effects.

Magic bullet it a great Color grading resource. I used magic bullet 2 editors. I loved the look of this film!

True true. I need to start working in HD. I look forward to manipulating HVX footage with CC and magic bullet.
