Hello fellow filmmakers! Fabian Perez here from Guy Manly Movies. Guy consists of director Matthew Thompson, writer Jerry Glass and myself DPing.

So! Without further ado, our entry into Time Fest is entitled "Out of Thyme".

June 19 -- being reviewed. :)

Alright, lets take a look. Rolling and reviewing:

Nice intro shots, It makes the film title make more sense. And the music is nice too. There is a little extra reverb in the dialog. I assume that is because of the room. Only an observation. I thought the dialog was really good so far. Levels would digitally distort a little bit. Watch the levels next time around. And the wheelchair was amazing. Same with the shot at 2:35. Pretty hysterical stuff. I like the play with the time concept.

Though 3:40 the film took a plunge. It was great until then. Not a fan of the sick humor. I was pretty disappointed when it came to that.

And the ending was strange to say the least. Puts note to the Karma is a ***** deal eh?

Nice film. Loved it until the throwing up part. Then major turnoff.
 
The throwing up/constant burping was a bit much for me, but but your paraplegic actor has some hillarious expressions. Also, you got 3 of the best lines:

"I forgot to mention...I play a paraplegic...murderer..."
"The steaks are too high..."
"The only thing we need is the herb thyme, herb..."

Overall good job!
 
Spoilers!






"That's why I bought you those watches."
We're going to a land where there is no Easter, we're going to Israel"

Just a couple of the LOL moments for me. This just needs a little polish, mostly the audio.

Very funny though.

Cheers,

Mike
 
I agree with Mike on his comments.

Some really funny bits and pieces but just needed some work on the technical side.

I could see these characters in a sitcom. Quite entertaining. Good work.
 
Internal monologue:

"Did the actors get drunk half way into the film? Wait what, was the writer drunk...in fact was the whole crew drunk when they made this? Ok everyone seems sober again...nope still drunk."

What an absurd comedy, I found myself laughing out loud. I like this one.
 
Possible spoilers...

It took a bit for me to get into this one, but once the "steaks get raised", I was hooked!

Excellent job with the comedy. It had the right balance of logic and farce. It takes quite a bit for me to laugh out loud--and for this I did! Great work!

Hahah...parapalegic murderer. Priceless.
 
this was a weird little movie. I laughed pretty much from the barfing on. :zombie_smiley:

Focus on upping your production values, as it can detract from the humor if your audio levels are spiking or your framing is awkward.

Some solid, inappropriate and gross humor here. I like it. :)
 
This was great...what a nice way of ending my viewing for the night. I'm sure I'll still be laughing when I wake up!

Great job guys.
 
There was a lot of really good humor in this one, but you lost me at the vomiting scene as well. Not because of the vomiting, but because at that point the film seemed to lose focus, like you weren't really sure what to do with it so you just started throwing stuff in to being it to close. Until then I was really enjoying it.
