Flashing Lights

Damn, I had to put up a picture of a girl in her underwear to get 5 stars... and that wasn't even from YOU, Jim! :grin:
 
I got your back Ted, I am waiting to see if someone knocks your stars down and then I swoop in with the fiver to average up.
 
Same thing happened to me with the stills.
Exporting .jpg out of quicktime and uploaded them to be a line of text :/
 
Glad it wasnt just me.

Your screens look amazing, Matty. I was wow'd when I found out you were using HV20's. I'm planning to pick one up, after I pick up an SG Pro. I hope to yield similar results. Good luck.

Though you are involved with too many projects. Its confusing!
 
thanks for posting on my my thread. Answered your question back in mine but wanted to wish you good luck here.
 
Looking good dude. I love the red walls in the bedroom. I haven't watched it yet. I didn't know it was open. I'm downloading the first zip now.

Nice movie! Loved the elevator shots, got me right into it. The conversation/writing seemed pretty good as well.

I kind of saw the ending coming but it was still good.

Nice looking footage as well. Clean and colourful.

Cheers,
 
Great stuff Arrik. Natural dialogue in the acting. Nevermind the fact that the ending had to be what I assumed it would be, getting there was very well executed. I like films that go a long way for such a simple premise. Great visuals as well.
 
Hey, thanks for the comments fellas. Glad you liked it. Dvpixl, you pretty much hit the nail on the head. Being that this was our first fest, we wanted to keep it simple (thus manageable), but execute with as much punch as possible. But yeah, ending isn't exactly a sixth sense "gotcha" ending.... THANKS AGAIN for stoppin in.

I've been pretty swamped since viewing opened last night, but eventually I'll get around to watching everything. I'm like 10/50 right now. Trying to drop reviews here and there. Gonna watch "The Music Box" next.

I was like hoping it wouldn't go as far as a porno. I knew it wouldn't but I'm 17 and got a bit frightened. Nicely shot and lit. Looked great and liked the dream sequence a lot! That's silly about the tri-pod acting as books then the battery dying. The story didn't do a whole lot for me. Really well put together though. You have got to be in the high standings... goodluck
 
I liked this a lot.

I thought the story, the actors, the look, and the edit were all great. I especially loved the cuts between the two cameras.

I should add, so far out of all the films I've seen, this is my favorite use of the "camera" prop.

Very well done.
 
Honestly, I wasn't the biggest fan of this one. It wasn't really fun enough to watch to stand completely without some kind of twist in it. Technically well executed, but the only thing I'm "supposed" to care about is whether a husband gets to have sex with his wife on camera? There's nothing really holding me to the story, and there aren't enough jokes for me to ignore that. Just my opinion though.

On a technical level well done though. And I did really like the tie and jacket flying through the air shots.
 
Thank you for all your opinions. We respectfully consider them.

MCD, I would never expose you to such adult content! Haha, thanks for your input.

Chris, we were particularly happy that we incorporated the camera into our film, almost as a third character, especially after reading the thread about barry having trouble spotting some cameras.

Gohanto, I hear you. Unfortunately for some, our script wasnt exactly LOL. When my writer originally approached me with the script, he said alot of the humor would lie in the acting and way we shot it more so than the script just being LMAO. It would be "a cute, simple, romantic comedy" I believe he stated. That said, we understand this may not be everyone's cup of tea. We thought, maybe for some older audiences or those with long-standing relationships, that they could relate to "spicing things up" as this scenario is not totally outlandish for everyday couples looking to keep things fresh. So the real catch is not whether or not the husband gets to sleep with his wife (because that shouldnt be an issue - well, talk to some married people about that one) but more does he get to film it, which is totally different. That said, we wanted it to be relatable so we steered clear of slapstick or over the top, redonkulous humor. The downside, obviously, is that not everyone will relate. I'm glad you can appreciate any technical aspects that you did. I'm almost up to "The Common Man" on my list. I'm anxious to see this and wish you good luck.

Matthew, I really, really, really appreciate you saying that you liked that line. I was this close to replacing it with some "my leg doesnt bend that way" lines but I thought that her delivery and the left-fieldness of "Oh my god... I think i'm gonna sneeze" and then "ah... aahhh... oh, it went away" was more funny. But, I never got any validation on this as I had didnt have much time for feedback after the final cut. Even if only you laughed at that, it would be worth it to me :) To be honest I had way more sexin' lines to add in but realized that the 15 second limit in credits wouldnt allow it, so I had to be picky. *EDIT* I'd like to add that the above-mentioned line was on the fly work by Bev. She's simply a funny girl.

THANK YOU ALL! on a side note, i just spent $300 for a valentine's day dinner. That's way more than my lovefest budget! Damn this hallmark holiday

Arrik .... the surprise for me so far! I loved it!!! You guys made a great little short. Something for consideration - I dont think you need those fake still cam shots, just made me feel sick.

When I saw the battery flashing I laughed out loud.... then you went to ECU on the batttery flash and I thought, what am i stupid? Kill that seriously. I thought your lighting was solid... your sound while not 100% was consistent. Had a naughty feel, that made me keep watching until the laugh came. GREAT JOB!
