Thanks...

hehe, if you're referring to the woman who is dead and looks to have been rotting for 3,000 years... then yes... :)

LOL

I gave her the "fun" part... she got to scare hehe And she was scary!
 
Brandon, congrats on such a well made film. The photography was GORGEOUS. It honestly felt like 35. I was like "how the hell did they....!?" :)
All the elements came together to make it feel like a very professional film. Loved the colors. This was definitely a feast for the eyes. I remember watching your HorrorFest entry and I definitely need to check out "Smuggler's Ransom"

Well done!
 
Nice job pulling together a great team and coming up with a cool story. Very cool look of the film but what stood out to me was the editing. Very slick. Not too many jump cuts but a few when they made sense like when she was under the desk.
Might have been a tad cheesy with all the whispering but I did not predict what was going to happen like I have been able to in a lot of these shorts.
Nice work.
 
Great job Brandon.

Really looked 35.Photography, lighting, acting was great. Sond design too. If I may, the prosthethic of the ghost/zombie lacked a bit. But for a low budget its as good as it gets.

Again great job.
 
Brandon, you guys did good, heck you guys did GREAT! Very professional! I couldn't believe it. I was blown away by how well the film was put together. I know you guys are going places. Keep up the good work, definately in my top 3.

Yeah, for what we had, I thought Stephanie rocked out the makeup work! Especially the stuff on Daniel at the end!

Hey Brandon...

I just watched your film and I liked it alot! I think this is your best work. I loved Geoffs cinematography, Justins music, the location, the editing...etc. I thought the acting was good, and that your direction served the story well.

Overall it was very well put together. I havn't seen all the films in the fest...but I have seen most...and this is my favorite so far.

Nice Job!
 
Brandon,

I watched your movie and I've got to say that you've grown a lot. It looks like you're beginning to understand what you CAN do and what you CAN'T do. For instance you got a good DP and your movie looks really good. The only quibble with the looks is the jarring transition from 5:00 o'clock to Midnight. Now, if you can get a writer (because the story was very weak) and good actors (though the main actress wasn't too bad) you might really have something. I think you could have done much better than the flashback by perhaps showing 5:00 then 8:30 then 10:00 then midnight with her taking the drugs at each instance. This would have kept you from having to use an artificial time manipulation like flashback which in the case of this movie, didn't really pay off, and keep the viewer in the flow. I'm not sure if it's a directorial choice or an editorial choice but whichever it is, it is a mistake.
 
Hey Brandon,

I echo the sentiments of others who say this is your best work.

Everything took a step up, but especially in the visual aspect.

The look and feel is there.

While I think everything bumped up a notch I agree with areas Blaine's identified as having the most potential for growth. But again everything is gelling more and more for you, just more so in the camera / style area than the others.

Great work Geoff, it looks really great.
 
Hey, Brandon. I unfortunately haven't seen any of your other films, so this was my first one. I could see that there are alot of people on here that have much respect and admiration for you, so I expected for your film to be pretty good. Having said that, it still exceeded my expectations. You had some really great shots, including the ones at the intro. and this film was spooky. The acting was really good in most spots, but in a couple just okay, but it all worked.

Congrats and good job.

Hm. Yeah, some have liked the transition, others haven't... at this point, I think I've had more who like it... sorry it did not work for you. I am sorry the story didn't work for you either... I will agree it's a very simple story, but I think it's well executed... I think sometimes simple is seen as weak... But again Blaine, I always appreciate your honesty, and comments. Thanks!

First of all Jack... thanks for helping us out with the voice work! Appreciate it! :)

And thanks also for the review! I am glad you liked the visuals... I'm glad Geoff's work is getting noticed yet again :) He's great.

Thanks for checking it out, and being a small part of it! :)

Hey Brandon. Great work, this is really well done. Can someone point out where you used a glass of red wine for me, though? I didn't see it anywhere.

Brandon,
Definitely your best stuff yet. I think the lead girl did a good job but I didn't care a whole lot for some of the other acting. I think Geoff did an awesome job. Had a real cinematic feel, but the transition from dusk to night was a bit drastic and jarring.

Keep it up yo.

Tim.
