"TWISTED" - A ZazaCast Film

The story was very intrigues and I like the cinematographic. Twisted is for me the better one of your two entries! Compliments :beer:

Thank you Sussane for the kind words. I guess it makes sense that you liked this one better as it was my 3rd film. At this rate, I can be assured that you'll really like my 4th!:thumbsup:
 
Hey,
Thanks so much for your comments on my thread! I'll be dropping back in on this thread soon after I watch "Twisted." Really looking forward to it! Thanks again.
 
I also enjoyed this film a lot more then the other entry. I thought the acting was a lot stronger and the dialog exchange seemed more realistic. The story was funny and intriguing.

I am probably one of the few that liked your other entry better. The story didn't really grab me. I liked the opening credit sequence and the rack focus moves, and it was interesting to see the viewpoints of the politicians. I didn't need to see him pee for such a long time though.

Looking forward to your next fest entry, or entries!

Hey Johnny! Thanks for the comments. Sorry you didn't follow the story, but those two guys weren't the politicians, they were the kidnappers. The ones the aliens were going to send to distant planets to learn about new technologies...if they were sucessful in getting the resolution passed. You got half of it though.:thumbup:

As far as the peeing shot... sorry, but you can't pan real fast at 24p (remember the 7-second rule!). Plus I think my pee scene is much better than Rogan's! HA!:beer::)
 
I think this worked much better than your other entry. The acting was really good and the whole film just had a much more solid feeling to it. The story was still a little hard to follow, but somehow it didn't matter too much since the dialogs and the cutting backwards and forwards were holding my attention. One small detail worth mentioning - I didn't like the wide angle close-ups of the two characters around 4:14. They didn't really fit with the image of the rest of the film. Thanks for some enjoyable viewing. :thumbup:

Thanks for the comments... glad you enjoyed the film...and it's a good sign, since this was my 3rd film (at least they are getting better for some folks).

Aim session. Twisted.

Aim session. Twisted.

Carrying on the tradition from Timefest, the AIM sessions have returned, a live stream of whatever may come out of our heads as we watch your films. Here are Ben Sliker, Brad Mate, and Justin Kuhn's thoughts on "Twisted."

Since for some reason, since we couldn't get Adium, AIM and iChat to all agree with each in one chat room, we had to go to an online chat room for the 3-person chats. After almost being molested by a forty year old man in a chat room for "privates" (ben read private chat), we managed to hop on to the chatzy client, which worked well. Note: Never search "free chat" in google and expect what you are looking for.

Ben: TWISTED IT IS
Jebus: we can watch it when the next fest is over
Ben: yeah AIM transfer suxxors
Ben: ok evrybody rdy?
Jebus: go
Kuhn: yeah
Ben: 3
Ben: 3
Kuhn: ve the otehr for anotehr night
Ben: was that english justin?
Ben: 2
Ben: 1
Ben: GO
Kuhn: OO SPARKLY
Jebus: title needs a little work
Ben: hey ... we did a bouncing ball in a basement once
Jebus: dead inside?
Ben: i bet a zombie comes down the stairs
Jebus: classic
Jebus: im gonna take that as an homage to us cause we did it first. points to this movie
Ben: DANCE BREAK!
Kuhn: TIME
Ben: he was covering in case he wanted to enter timefest too
Ben: EVERYBODY DANCE!
Ben: YAY!
Ben: insert picture of dancing cluds from don hertzfeldt.

Kuhn: MY ANUS IS BLEEDING

Kuhn: in this economy I'm not totally joking
Ben: GET OFF MY JOKE KUHN
Ben: but seriously ... what is going on here?
Kuhn: ummm ...
Ben: is there some sort of closed room election going on
Kuhn: JIB ON THE PISS
Jebus: wow
Ben: WAHT IN THE HOLY HELL ...
Ben: resolution dvx420?
Ben: REALLY?
Kuhn: camera smoke time
Ben: apparently there's aliens tho.... aliens are cool ...
Ben: i remember a running shaky cam through this field las time.
Kuhn: ha ha
Jebus: were aliens necessary? why not make it relatable...you know...with that whole thing going on right now...what was it? oh the poo pooing election
Ben: there's an election going on?
Ben: waht for?
Kuhn: mayor of uranus
Kuhn: I feel that if you're going to have a crazy twist you should set it up a little bit.
Jebus: what was the point of their waiting to kill the guys?
Ben: let's recap
Ben: two dudes talking about economy
Ben: piss
Ben: resolution dvx420
Kuhn: jib piss
Ben: right ... jib piss
Ben: aliens
Ben: murder
Ben: everybody on the same page?
Kuhn: yeah, got all that. it's the movie itself I dont' get
Jebus: ...if they were gonna kill them there was NO POINT TO HOLD THEM CAPTIVE
Ben: which leads me to my next question ... can anyone tell me what happened?
Jebus: nope
Kuhn: not really.
Kuhn: but the dude
Kuhn: i mean those close-ups there at the end
Kuhn: the one guy's was funny.
Jebus: either they were the captives, or the killers, or aliens who "replaced" the captives after they killed them to control the world the way they wanted....where did i see that plot line before...
Ben: HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THAT THE REPLACER WAS A PIECE OF CINEMATIC GENIUS
Ben: 27TH IN SCI-FEST BRAD
Ben: YOU CANT DENY THE FACTS
Kuhn: bodysnatchers?
Jebus: thats why im going to reference it and our other films at least 10 times per review
Ben: THERE WERE LIKE 30 WORSE THAN OURS
Jebus: i thought we were like 24th
Jebus: 27th is depressing
Ben: WE WERE MIDDLE OF THE PACK IN SPRING 06
Kuhn: I remember watching that
Kuhn: and shi*ting all over it
Ben: we went like 27th-17th-10th-1st-4th/6th
Kuhn: while I sat alone by myself.
Ben: yeah ... where are all those films you made without us? oh yeah ... there aren't any.
Jebus: ZING!
Kuhn: I give you credit your zip ties are like alien spikes but that's about it
Jebus: so enchanted?

Zaza, I'll go ahead and give you sort of a comparative review for this one, because I think you've made some big strides from your last film. You still need to devote some time to your fundamentals, a story doesn't need to be crazy to be exciting, perhaps even latch on to some other scripts, i know that movie poet site as a ton of them. I can tell that you are having fun making films and learning, keep it up!
 
Like "Enchanting", I liked the use of the short clips establishing the central location, "the garage".

Wow. Lots of dynamic camera movement: slider, tripod tilts, etc.

I found the use of the rack focus during one of the dialogue sequences to be very repetative. At first I thought "nice!", but after the third time, it lost it's appeal.

I liked your use of odd shooting angles, it complimented the "twisted" theme.

I'm glad you provided an explanation of the film here in the thread. I got a little lost once the two captives decided to make a break for it.

P.S. - When I saw the power line shot at the end, I couldn't help but think of your adventures there!

O.K., Bleed Anus? ...really....really??? Not what I was expecting...but then again, you never know what you'll get from this group.

Thanks for the effort Ben (and crew), I do appreciate your taking the time to watch and....comment....I think?:huh::dankk2:

Thanks Neil...all good observations & I'm taking notes! Now I can apply this to my next film. I think it's going to be about a deformed proctologist who has 12" fingers...it's called "Rectal Medicine". Look for it next spring! :beer:
 
Hey, Zaza, this was pretty cool man. I liked it. It kept you on the seat of your pants. :)

Your stuff is definitely improving. :thumbup: I can see you're going places. We should try and do a project someday. :)
