"The Music Box" - a Michael Anthony Horrigan Film

Hey, Mike. Finally made it over. You know yours will be one of the first ones I watch too. Were you pleased with how everything came out?

Yup! Pretty pleased. I did have to cut out a pretty good scene due to time but I'll throw that in a Director's Cut.

You would think I would have the room for it... my entry is locked in at 5:17 with 15 seconds of credits and a short opening title. That scene was just too long and it couldn't be chopped down without ruining it.

I really like the way that this entry flows though and I didn't try to jam in too much just for the sake of the extended 6 minute limit. I've been guilty of trying to do too much before. :happy:



Ted, Thanks man! Glad I made it.
 
Awesome, man. Can't wait. I still really love the grab of the little girl looking at the music box. The colors look real nice for this film.

Later,
Jason

Now you got me curious about that scene. I'll ask more after I watch.

Well, I guess you'll love the new poster and banner. :D

Mike that poster's great. Perhaps have the title and "do you believe in fate" in the brighter lettering and the rest in the duller.
 
Mike! I love your new banner! Nice!!!

......

Just saw the new poster, too! Wow! Great stuff!!!

Really looking forward to this.

Yeah your banner/poster is top notch. That pic and its color grad makes it happen. I'd appreciate it if you guys stop posting on my thread with your slick banners, making me look bad.

Thanks again for your help. Good luck and I cant wait to see this piece tomorrow.
 
Thanks guys! I think the new poster/banner is much better. It helps to have an actual frame from the movie to work with now. :)
I'll probably tweak it a bit more though.

I'll try the brighter text on the tag-line as well. :thumbup:
Edit: Tweaked it a bit.

Cheers!

Hey Mike, great job!

You have some really great shots here! I love the dolly from the past to the present. Wow. I also love the shot following the boyfriend at the door of the lovers. Very, very nice.

I did not care for the color in the bedroom scene. Seemed too blue for me.

Music and sound design were excellent, of course. Herman is the man!

I liked you ending though I don't quite get why the girls eye would open so wide. Did she see the future? If so, did she not see it coming when she was older?

For the most part, your actors gave a solid performance. I would like to have seen the woman go a bit farther with her abusive situation after the friend arrived.

I also felt a bit hit over the head with a few shots.... the guy discovering that he left something at home, the knife/letter opener shot, and another that I am not remembering.

Congrats on your film!

Thanks for sharing it,

Ted

SPOILERS

Well.... she saw a glimpse into her future. The question is... can she change it? Or is it her fate? Does she have to meet Mr. Wrong in order to find Mr. Right?

I'm really leaving this open for interpretation and this was done intentionally. Did what she see happen? Or is it a possible happening?

Sorry, that's just my style.

It's a love it or hate it sort of deal. :D
Glad you liked it overall.

Cheers!
