Heh, yes, it's a curious concept that theorizes about the possibility of leaks in the space-time continuum in which things lost end up where they're least expected. Though a bit silly, I took the ending as a metaphor for exactly that: things disappear to a place common to all lost items in a way, and once one item is found, the rest begin to follow, as if opening up a secondary worm hole. I might be scraping for this one, but it seems VERY open.

I thought the concepts were set up fairly well. The film was very basic and somewhat rigid, but the actors held it well in comparison.

Overall, not bad. :thumbsup:
 
I thought this was fun.

I'm glad you kept it tight and short.

The only thing missing from this film were laundry socks. Surely, they end up in the same spot as lost baseballs and cell phones.:)

Best of luck in the fest.
 
Simple story, I was with you until the ending, you lost me with the CG. Nice effects though.
 
I really thought this had a very powerful message that just didnt quite get through. It certainly was a brave attempt to do so and commendable to even attempt it. Well done.
 
Was this written for Twilight Fest? The ball.... the ending?
Just curious.

I thought the actors actually did a pretty good job with this. Pretty natural for the most part.
Nice attempt but I think it needed a little more polish.

Keep at it though.

Click to expand...

I'm inclined to agree with this. The CGI was a little hokey, but it does raise an interesting metaphysical question.
 
I'm not sure what to say.

I really don't get the tie in with the title. And the whole graphic thing at the end was just...unnecessary.

It's a shame you didn't take what you did in TimeFest and build on that and show some growth.

Hey, good effort for this.

Acting didn't do anythong for me, nor did the story.

I think the main thing in this, and you nailed it, was the continuity.

Looked like you had 3 cameras cause every shot work out with the throwing of the ball.

Kudos to that,

Robbie
 
I think this film is pretty straightforward but I don't get the connection with the title unless it's a reference to their conversation. Like Robbie said, there was good shot continuity and your composition wasn't bad. I think you can work on fleshing out the concept a little more...giving it more legs. The cgi was and interesting choice and it was an interesting way to portray the concept but you could have mixed it up and had a bunch of different items that people alway lose floating out there. I see what you were going for. Thanks for sharing!
 
Nice job, but as already said, the CG was not neccesary.

Like the acting thou, pretty natural.
