mentatDUKE is a "Dune" reference. A mentat is essentially a human computer (thinking machines were outlawed after the Butlerian Jihad. Yes. I'm a nerd.)
Dune's my favorite novel and I swear my IQ jumped 30 points after I read it.

NERDS!!!!
 
Cool. Nice trailer. Looks like fun. Can't wait to see it and what you've cooked up for the fest. Good luck getting all done.
 
I checked out some trailers earlier this AM. You certainly have my attention. I really love the poster!

Duke man. I just saw this over on the REdrock forums and commented, but this is SO great.

I love all of your work!
 
I found the title pretty intriguing and had to watch the trailer. It looks like a really great story! Kind of Stranger Than Fiction-y maybe! I like your lead actor. He seems to fit the role really well.

Looking forward to seeing the full thing, and your other Love Fest entry. Good luck!
 
Thanks Jaime. Regarding "Stranger Than Fiction", let's just say we were slightly annoyed when we found out about that movie. "HEY! They stole our idea!!!" :)

I'm starting to think that 90% of all writers have had the "guy finds out his life is being controlled by a writer" idea...

I am not a special snowflake. :(
 
mentatDUKE,

i found your trailer VERY polished. you've certainly got a good eye for professional imagery and (more importantly) editing. really really good.

while i found a few inconsistencies in the acting and the titles, everything else looked pretty solid.

i'm a pretty big font fiend, so i'm VERY VERY picky when it comes to titles. it seems to me like your titles were a bit "windows movie maker-ish" -- would love to talk more about it if youre interested. in my opinion, titles can make or break someone's suspense of believe, especially in a promotional trailer like what you posted.

great work, nonetheless. VERY VERY cool.
Out of curiousity, what film school are you at? i am/was a film student myself.

Zak man, I've got the same to say for you. You've really got a keen eye for design and I love your work. -- Not to mention your title. F*cking brilliant.

Now, if only I didn't have the audacity to start a project and not finish it in time... what a let down I am. :violin:
 
Hey Kyle. Thanks for the feedback.

Film school? Why DVXuser.com of course. :)
I honestly think this is one of the best film schools out there. Especially bang for the buck-wise. I like the way the "seniors" help out the "freshmen" too. The faculty is pretty great also.

I'd love to hear your tips regarding the fonts.

Thanks again.
 
MentatDUKE, looks great overall. great editing, acting, and has a feel to it, too bad it's exhibition only. But you do what you gotta do.
