Frank, incredible - my mind is absolutely boggled. I'm more curious about your film by the minute (and Erez, I look forward to your score). I also downloaded the Fanhams film (which you presumably made) - it certainly caught the atmosphere and the period.
 
Sets and wardrobe were fantastic!
Loved the ending of course.

I also loved the old feel that this movie seemed to have, not just because of the setting. Very cool.

Cheers,

Mike
 
Frank, this was a lot of fun. I felt like many of the moments were kind of clunky in the war stuff, but nothing that likely wouldn't be solved with more time, crew, etc.

I LOVE the low-budget time passage at the end, with the couples passing in different clothing by the decade.

I have to say, I was laughing at some of the "American" accents. Now I know how other countries must feel when they hear Tom Cruise and the like try to do their accents. :)

Really ambitious project, maybe too much so for a one man band, but honestly I am shocked at how much you got done as a one man band. And this film was entertaining and fun.

Looking forward to the next one you do.
 
Great shots, great acting, good story, excellent work on the backgrounds and costume. But why would the old man perpetuate the cycle if it had such a grizzly outcome? Or did he not know that he stole the watch from himself? That part was confusing....

Overall this was really great and I can't say anything that hasn't already been said. A couple of criticisms, there are a couple of spots where the dialogue doesn't match up with the actors mouths, or where their mouths are moving but no dialog. And In the interrogation scene the sounds of him being hit need some reverb to blend in better with the overall room sound. Otherwise bravo!
 
I really, really, really enjoyed this one a lot!!

Your main actor made me roll on the floor laughing. He was just perfect. It seemed like some of the scenes were a bit over the top (like the interrogation room) but in the end they just fit in perfectly.

Fantastic story, great twist in the end, but most of all, I raise my glass to your main actor.

Great job!!!
 
I loved the ending! The sets and costumes were amazing and for a one man team, this film is something to be really proud of. There were some moments where sound could be a little tighter (I'm sure you know where they are), but all our films have some spot that needs tightening.

Great work!
 
Beautiful, beautiful look to it! I just went back and read through several old posts to see what you shot with. I guess the HVX, LEX and those old Zeiss lenses really do make for some magic!

Also, the production value and attention to detail was impressive!

I'll have to watch it again to appreciate everything that is in there. (I had to watch the shot of him "aging" several times to realize how the transition took place!) :)

Good job!

Nice job Frank. This film was one of the few that had it's own "look" to it. There was something about it that made it stand out visually. Can't quite put my finger on it. I think you did an awesome job for a one-man crew.

Keep it up dude!
 
Frank, Frank, Frank. I really enjoyed this. I agree with Harris about the American accents but I got over that fast and was engrossed by your story. Really good job on this. Great set extensions with those matte paintings.

When he stepped out of the Watch Shop I was waiting for Rod Serling to step out of the shadows and say, "Submitted for your approval..." This had an incredible Twilight Zone vibe to it. :thumbsup:
 
Thanks Blaine,

Twilight Zone never run here on german TV , but I know it pretty well and that´s exactly what was on my mind while doing the script.
I was even thinking about faking a TZ soundalike music but I thought it may be too cheesy.

I, too, thought this was such an incredible story that it deserves a full half hour twilight zone episode at the least. The watch shop scene is extraordinary and your actors were brilliant. What beautiful cinematography, Frank. I am astounded at what you've done here. You Germans are rocking the house! I am totally a fan who cannot wait to see your next entry, sir!
 
I wish I had at least 10 minutes. After shooting I ended up with material for a good 12 and had to cut it down to 6.

That´s the rules and the challange but it speeds some scenes so much up that they bareley work.

I like the tempo where Jack lies inthe bed, blindfolded with the nurse.
And even that scene was much longer.
