Mi, RoBoT

Or, do what I do... work in the advertising/marketing/design field and always be on a deadline... that'll get ya focused, REAL fast. I think our lack of focus comes from the need/want for instant gratification... we've had to learn that you shouldn't write, shoot, edit and score a movie in one weekend ;)
 
HAHA, thats for sure. We did that this year, we entered the brooklyn midnight run 24hour film contest. It was boot camp but fun and we are going to do it again.
Are you freelance or work for an agency?
 
both ;) -- I do freelance work, I also subcontract for an agency, and I work full-time for an in-house corporate "agency". I love it... have been doing it a long time now.

We've been thinking about doing one of those 24 hour fests... I'd be interested to hear more about the Brooklyn one... or a link to more info if you'd like to share ;)

but on that note I do have to hit the sack... work tomorrow, but at least only 1/2 day ;)
 
I really enjoyed the scene creating the device, right down to the way the audio started out an internal feature of the scene and became an external soundtrack. Really neat looking scene, fun to watch.

Like some others, though, I got a little less interested when the device got put into use. The movie looked less cinematic, and my sympathies for the characters were suddenly reversed. (I really didn't want to feel sorry for the snotty younger girl, but, alas ;) I thought the acting was pretty good, on the whole, and it's a nice wish fulfillment idea, too.

Really enjoyed the film, thanks!
 
Ok sorry it took me so long to see this and comment:

This was very charming movie -- lots of great lighting and the assembly scene was shot really really well. Some of the angles and stuff other places reminded me of Robert Rodriguez's short Bed Head -- cool. Shooting off the theft mirror was inspired.

Dings -- a lot of the editing could be tightened up -- assembly scene -- whlie absolutley gogeous should probably be a third as long. -- also editing should be a lot tighter in the getting caught out / running into the truck scene. Eveyone's pulse is quickening there - the store owner, the older sister, the younger sister and the pacing of the editing should reflcet that -- also, then when you have the reaction shot of the older sister it will have more payoff.
Final ding - Acting a little forced at times.

I really enjoyed wathcing this -- the look and setups were great -- also liked teh way you used current technologies and presented them in a way that scemed scifi.

Awesome ...

OK getting in a UHAUL to drive 13 -15 hours, but had to check y'all out before I had no hispeed for a while/ voting closes.

later
 
Clear picture although wasn't impressed with the acting. Good concept, although the shopkeeper accused the girl of shoplifting before she had even got as far as the door. Didn't like the music that much. But I did like the idea.
 
Thanks for the comments guys. Yeah, it seems that the building of the remote went on a little long for some. I can definitly tighten it up. I think it went on for that long because of the mix I made of the music and I wasnt thinking about how long it felt watching it.

The part where he is accusing her of stealing is forced I didnt think about it when shooting but after I got home I thought dang, I should have had her go out the door.

Brox, the change in look was because I shot that store scene before the rest of it and it was on Christmas day. Just wanted to get the shots and get out but the store was super busy for some reason that day. It was very fustrating sitting there waiting for people to clear out.

hey Jack, look forward to meeting you and the wifey. Have a safe trip down and congratulations on your placing.
