"Eggs and Toast"

Wow that was definitely different. I liked it because it was very surreal and I can understand how a lot of people wont understand this, but it is neat. Obviously its not aimed at being your typical movie and therefore I won't critique it as such. Care to give us a little background about this?

Definitely different from other things posted here. There was obvioulsy a lot of heart and passion in this piece. I won't comment on performances, script, etc. because I don't know a lot about performace pieces like this (although I do an amazing interpretive dance to "Hit Me Baby One More Time"). The logo was ok, not great. Typical 3d font stuff. And it lasted waaaaaay too long. It only takes 1 second to read "Eggs and Toast" (3 seconds for me). Your logo was onscreen for about 10 seconds. Yikes! I know I'm nit picking the logo, but you don't want the audience to be bored before the actual performance starts.

Overall a beautiful and interestng piece of art. Good luck!
 
Holy Crap was that weird. Interesting though. I like and respect things that are different because everybody just does the same ole derivitive ****.

Thanks for your interest Edalgo. This is one sketch of several that actor/writer/performer John Paulsen has performed in the Seattle WA theater circles. Actress/dancer Jessica Jobaris joins John in this 50's/60's period piece revolving themes of lost illusion, misunderstanding and lack of communication between two souls. This was shot on one half day in November 2004 at a dance studio in Brooklyn, NY. Utilizing the DVX-100A, a tripod, a Jib and a steady cam, this performance made use of a prerecorded audio track to synchronize the two performers in their well rehearsed routine. A small use of green screening was very sparsely used to underscore the surreal narrative. The editing was done on an Avid Xpress Pro HD.

Wow! I really liked this. I have always been a fan of stage work as well as film work anyway...and this was outstanding. Anyone who's ever been in a serious, long-term relationship should have no problem understanding this piece.

Good job!
