CPU - Jeremy Hyler aka Spidey

Our man, Adam Ross on the gun constuction. It started out as a riot gun until I was swinging it around and busted it. It's actually a mini riot gun.
 
Yeah it looked like this originally till matt broke it.

It's hard not to like this one.

Very creative writing and solid acting. Interesting and effective CCing as well.

I love that it begs you to watch several times.

Something that struck me...

Title sequence was too quick and confusing. Could'nt read all the names and could'nt figure out the title was CPU ....it just went away too quick for me. It was a beautiful sequence though and I loved the numbers 10101010101010101010!

and the language....tisk tisk... Their has to be a better way to tell this without so much swearing. Just Kidding...I know you watched mine already.

Definately one of the top!

I wish we could have done more with the titles, but after widdling time out of the thing for 3 weeks (trying to get it from 11min down to 6) we had to start slicing. The credits seem the most logical one to take the fall. Spidey is real big on creative credits, so it was a bit of a battle.

The titles were great, and so was that scene with the floating monitors, I wonder who did them, haha. Good job Spidey, and thanks for letting me create material to put on my demo reel.

Upon watching again I feel I should submit another review. I thought the style was cool (gritty, flashy), but I could never take the dialogue or story seriously. It was written almost too natural. Could just be me. I did like your CC, but felt the subjects were too washed out sometimes. This is for sure a low level story about the dark side of life. It depicts that very well, and that is an accomplishment in and of itself. I paid a closer attention to the score and sound mix this time too and you did a good job in both respects. The ending was pretty abrupt for me, but given 6 min. I understand. Overall it's a well done piece. I don't enjoy it when I watch it, but I respect the skill and talent you have in creating it. Well done.

I know you did your best, and it shows. Like I said I really respect your talent as a filmmaker, and respect this film in many aspects of it! Good work!
 
I don't know if anyone else on this forum is or was a GWAR fan, but everytime I watch this film, the protag's voice over reminds me of the song "Obliteration of Flab Quarv 7."

But maybe that's just me.

No comments on the score yet? :p Actually it's a little hard to hear, because of the heavy dialogue/sound, so I'll post a track for anyone who is interested. I'll get the others uploaded too, soon.

This is the track for the final sequence in the film.

Chris,
I never had the chance to tell you good I thought your score was. I was really impressed when Spidey brought it to the office. Sorry we had to chop it all up.

Thanks
 
Cool short, Spidey. You made good use of what you had and what you didn't. I watched it all the way through.

Thanks! Great work on the film...you should be really proud. No, no problem at all about it - if the music was any louder it would be overpowering, it was well mixed. :) I would love to collaborate with you guys on another project.

Awesome poster! (erm, add me to the 'hook us up with a poster' list lol..thats awesome)

-Chris
