Buffalo Samson Credits

dude.. I have to say it again.. "BUffalo is a friggin' BEAST!"

also, thinking more about your film tonight... (which is a strange thing to say at least).. . I would have to seen more of the big guy himself more towards the end. Right now, it quit edits in and out of frame so quickly. Its almost as though he has developed his character as "A BEAST" but at the same time, I would like really see his expression for more than a second. That would really drive the image of "I sure as frak don't want to meet this dude...."

again, kudos.

Remember it's what you don't see, or what you think you saw that really scares you:)

There is actually alot more to this. This version was made to fit the 6 minute window. However after watching this version more and more I am starting to like it more then the extended version, You get to use more of your imagination with this one!

Thanks! Love to hear your feedback!

By the way I know someone made a remark about the actor not having much to work with, this entire film was done in a little over 2 weeks! LOL Give us a break:)
 
two weeks? Plenty of time. :)

Brett.. Definitely develop this beast into something. The name alone scares the hell out of anyone. not to mention the poster. You know something big and badass is coming your way.

Buffalo, who the **** is buffalo...looool

Ok really solid work here though I start to get tired with this thing where someone is being interrogated or asked questions and we see flashes of things that happened (I m talking about tv and cinema as well).

I'd rather see the movie play all the way through at Buffalo's place rather than this. Your shots over there were great and you did a wonderful job with props and make up and blood...

Sound levels were ok, again no score,.....

Acting was natural, unforced except the cop guy...

And here we come to the story....it would make a great film if you focused on buffalo as the lead....I dont buy it that this is an interrogation...a cop...a victim...I mean..first of all she's still beat up, with fresh blood on her...this would never have happened...and he is treating her badly coz she is all shook up and he goes on raving mad like she's the villain...at least you could have a good cop/bad cop here to provide something deeper....and he dont look like a detective .....

If you focused on Buffalo since you had all his shots very well prepared and great location and all...you would have given us an amazing little terror flick...right now I just feel like incomplete inside....
 
I am really confused here... i love the movie, it looks beautiful. But where the hell did buffalo come from in the end... how did he get into the police station???


I love his Beastness.... im all about that. i love bears, wolverines, Buffalo sampson. It just makes a weird jump cut that left me confused.

good work top 5!!!
 
What irked me about it was there was so much that could have been trimmed down like someone said before, like the 2 people tied up together. It coulda been chopped to allow the ending to play out. Id say a good minute could have been used for an ending instead. but still good, best of what ive seen so far, and yes ive seen the same ones everyone goes nutz about for some reason. Good job magic child.
 
Yeah, I gotta say I was really impressed with the sound, the editing and sound design really made this one stand out from the rest and have a very professional quality to it.
 
THANKS ONCE AGAIN.

Yes, I know story is a little rushed, However when your working with six minutes you kinda gotta leave alot up to the imagination. Instead of trying to create a start to stop story in six minutes I went ahead and used the Interrogation considering it allowed for a larger more involved story to be presented. LOL and yes everyone talks about how Buffalo manages to show up in the end... Use your creative imaginations and picture him storming the police station knocking down cops left and right to make his way to the detective..... and did you guys and gals ever question "maybeee the girl being questioned really is behind the whole thing"....:)

Your support is amazing! and means the world to me!

I can make a movie 6 minutes of a guy looking out his window and hes deaf and theres no audio, then it ends. Leave it up to your imagination, and it can be anything and i should win right? Im bothered by you saying that because this is really the best ive seen Brett. Im disapointed you took that route, there are plenty of stories that can fit in 6 minutes, i think this could have been as well.
 
I agree with you. Buffalo is a pretty straight forward story and you cant really justify the mystery concept of 'maybe he did maybe he didnt' 'maybe she was maybe she wasnt'...
 
?

youve still got my vote though brett, Highest marks so far, and it will easily stay that way
 
:huh: woops!

anyways I'm thrilled to hear that you thought it was the best, However I don't want you to be disappointed! I had alot to work with, and really just went ahead and chose what I thought was best for the film. IMO I thought Buffalo coming out in the end and smashing the cop was fitting. I wasn't really sure how the people would interpret it, just thought it went well. I just really wanted the whole film to be unsettling, and if possible make people actually get scared!

Thank you for your honesty!

I really enjoyed this film. It looks professional, and has a lot going on that keeps you wanting more. You don't know what it is, so you really have to pay attention- kinda like your questioning the girl as well. Did she do it? When that question was sparked it really made me think back to whether or not she could have done it. In the end, its confusing, yet it really makes you wonder and I think that just makes the film more interesting. Definitely the best I've seen.

Good Luck!
 
nice job guys.
the sound design on this was top notch. it added sooooo much to this piece.

i also really liked the visuals for all the flashbacks - great colors, great blood, and very scary. i thought the look of the interrogation room could have been better - those double shadows all over the walls were kind of killing me.

the editing was really cool, it really added some impact to the viewing experience.

the acting was also very good. good job finding actors that weren't afraid to scream :)

regarding the script - i thought the story was underdeveloped it sort of felt like a trailer for a feature. it started to develop at the end with the brother thing, and the interrogator thinking she was involved, but i wanted more.

my favorite part is the shot of the bloody feet swinging - a very powerful image. i also loved the cut to the feet from the opposite angle - a brilliant choice - great way of disturbing the viewer through unconventional editing.
 
Great work, but again, I must second the "I don't like the end" and the "needs more Buffalow."

Still great. I think you currently have the second highest overall score on my list (But I have 35+ more to watch!)
 
Very nice job.

But what I really want to know is - as the director, what did YOU make of Buffalo coming in at the end? Did he barge in through the police station? Is he magical? Was the girl actually the buffalo?

When I watched this, I really wanted the girl to be silent throughout, and at the end, her very first lines be "Buffalo." That would have been creepier than the back and forth between the girl and the detective, which was a little repetitive.

Your overall look, direction, cinematography, makeup were all great. Sound was okay - at times the score seemed a bit out of place though. The character of Buffalo (and the title of your film) are both by far my favorites in this fest. This is a far better torture flick than the many others I've seen in this fest, because the torture is a little more creative and leaves a tiny bit more to the imagination, and it is both carried along and broken up by the cuts back to the interrogation scene.

Very good work.
 
Everything has been said. Great sound and effects. Story needs work. The ending needs to exist a bit more. And your editing and cinematography rock!
