This film slam dunk is going to be #1 in both audience and jury picks....

Right now we have about half the jury votes in and I can tell you that they are all over the place.

Probably a result of having programmers, critics, working producers and screenwriters (a diverse panel) that don't know us or what we do, which is a really good thing. They don't know who's popular, who can never seem to win, who always wins, etc. They're merely bringing their personal taste and varied industry experience to bear. One might highly value originality. One might highly value entertainment, etc.

So you shouldn't take that to mean Dispatch or any other film will or won't place anywhere. Only that right now there's no telling and certainly no slam dunk.

No idea what's going on in the DVXuser vote. But the above info should make awaiting the jury vote more interesting :)

I've rate very few film this one, troy's film and devil's toy ...Devil's toy have very very good scene like that of discover of bodies (i like them so much), while this one have (IMO) good light, very good visual effect ..devil's film have more complexes changing scenes andgood visual effect like fly on the bodies and I was really really happy to work for Sprocketboy (hope in its feature)

I'm impressed fot dispatch for the blood color, light, camera and so on

but all those video have my 5 stars excellent work guys...looking for yours features

I believe it was mentioned that he used the audio from the onboard mic for the edit and found it to be quite good, but not good enough for the final version.

It's somewhere in this thread.

Cheers,

Yeah I used some of the onboard mic audio for Filero Grande (knife vs pipe).

(after he jumps over the fence it's all onboard sound with some foley)

But with the lack of gain control, etc. you couldn't get audio as clean as the sheriff's in Dispatch for example, unless maybe you were 3 feet away from him. It can definitely be used for scratch track and for ambient padding though.

Certainly didn't sound like it to me, I'd suspect they used a Zoom or other external recorder.

Yeah I think it may be slightly better due to consumer mojo than just using your onboard HVX or DVX mic, but not good enough for dialogue etc. Standard sound rules still apply. Directional mic as close to the actor as possible.
 
I was sure I'd commented on this during round 1 but see I haven't. Anyway, great film, very well made. All the comments have already been made I think so I'll just add that I particularly liked the camera angles/cuts at the end where the angle of view changes a couple of times through nearly 180° and then the monster jumps at you - helps keep the viewer on the edge of their chair I think.
Cheers and thanks for the entertainment.
 
I foreseen the future. Great job fellers. Chalk up another one for the GH1 btw. It would have won if it was on another camera I am sure though.
 
If it was a "slam dunk" the ball sure rolled and rattled around the rim, and bounced off the backboard before falling through the hoop.

We had literally no idea who would win the juror vote as they were coming in. It was a back and forth. Dispatch came out ahead... barely, in the end.
