MOLLY MCGHEE-- another "romantic" comedy by Alex Jeffery

I have yet to mix anything, only composed, but from judging from what I've heard, I can do alot. I want to try my skills, hire me on your next project, just give me enough time other than the day before the festival deadline. Unlike some other dvxusers filmmakers I know.
 
Not to derail the thread but why don't you send me a link to a movie that you HAVE mixed? Where you took poor audio and cleaned it up, not recorded in a studio or anything.

But I've always worked with good audio, and with people who could get the job done, but if you got some bad audio I'll be glad to clean it up too as it is part of my skill set which ive always been looking to use.

I laughed at this one. Weird but nice comedy. I liked the transitions and the effects. For me the best part of this film was Molly. I thought she did a great job! The story held my attention. I liked how you reintegrated all the props. I enjoyed the music, but the rest of the audio was marginal. Even so, I laughed! Thanks for posting this!

BTW, how did you do the fire effect? Is it CG, composited or (yeah!) white gas?
 
Thanks Kurt!

My friend Nate, who is a compositing guru, did all the effects for me. Check out his website at: www.natecow.com if you're interested.

I'm glad people are liking the bizarre humor. I'm going to do the best that I can to clean up the audio for an HD online release. The reason I can't ADR it is because my two main actors are back home and I'm up at college. So it might be a while before I could re-record their audio. I'll see if I can pull anything off with filters and levels.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I still need to get caught up on watching all of the films, but everything I've seen so far has been awesome!
 
Great film Alex. Really like the story setup and the pacing. Casting was great, especially Molly. Loved her reaction to the fire on the table, with her hopping over the little gate and everything. Favorite shot was the leaf blower in her face. Music was good too. Only negative, as others have pointed out, was that it's hard to hear a lot of the dialogue. Not sure how it was done but we as filmmakers have to shell out the dough for the good mics. I'm speaking as someone who needs to upgrade my own as well. Other than that, great film. Keep 'em coming.
 
This was definitely quirky, but I enjoyed it. I liked the premise, and the girl, but the story didn't quite come through for me. And by the 3rd time of the psychiatrist saying "who did you date next" that seemed a little repetitive.

Oddly enough, the thing that bugged me the most was the apparent age difference between the girl and a couple of suitors, particularly muddy guy. Obviously, you work with what you've got, but that stood out to me.
 
Alex, you already know my thoughts on this film.

It's great to read these reviews.

You did a great job on this. -- Can't wait to see you around the classroom again!

This was a fun film. I liked the quirky universe and the characters. Molly was very Juno-esque or Ghost World-esque if you prefer. The costume design worked well to help flesh out the characters. You had some good shot composition in this also.

The sense of humor in this piece really appealed to me. I think i'll go watch Honey Pot soon. Good luck.
