Oh, what was up with the masonic shots? The pyramid with the seeing eye seemed out of place.

I missed this.

Actually, it was done entirely on purpose. What is the "eye within a triangle" generally known as?

It is known as the "All-Seeing Eye" or the "Eye of God"
The little girl was allowed to see her future (possible or destined) via this gateway.

I'm surprised that nobody else caught that.

Cheers!

This is a really nice piece - with an interesting ending that makes you look at everything else you've seen in the movie in a different light. Really cool. Technically - the dolly work throughout is beautiful. It has a light, fluid touch to it that really compliments the movie. I think my favorite part is the actor, Daniel Lavigne. The guy was incredible in this. So genuine.

Other than that, I thought the abusive boyfriend was really funny - only problem is I wasn't sure if I was supposed to find him funny. There's a fine line between funny and dramatic...

All in all, great movie.

Thanks! Glad you liked it so much.
This part made my day...

I was really hoping that would come across. Thanks!

I'll pass the acting comments along. Daniel really was fantastic. And yes, the BF was supposed to be slightly amusing at times, but not at the end.
Especially funny during the mirror scene though. :D

Thanks again for all the comments! I love my homemade dolly. :thumbup:

Cheers,

Mike


 
Well, I just wanted to take a minute before the Oscars start to thank everyone who dropped in to comment.
It's very difficult to get an understanding for your work without an intelligent viewing audience and their input.

I really appreciate all the comments and critiques!

Good luck to everyone in the voting!

Go "No Country for Old Men"! :D

Cheers,

Mike
 
Mike, did you like "No Country For Old Men?" I liked the directing and the acting in the scenes, but the story SUCKED! Ooops, I meant the story had some holes in it and some questionable decisions. LOL.
 
Hey really liked your film. Loved the transition shot from young Lisa to older Lisa. Good acting throughout (the boyfriend kinda reminded me of Vinnie Jones) and I liked your CC. Good short and great use of the set time limit. The pacing was well done. Simple set up and execution in a good way. Very good film.

Thanks, man! Glad you liked it! Thanks for taking the time to comment on all the movies. I actually worked this into a 5 minute time limit. I had extra scenes and more character development but they put me closer to 7 minutes.
Hope you had time to vote. :D


Cheers,

Mike
