nice grab with the motion blur and all - doing a fast dolly back here? in any case ... I like the grab!

I can also guess what the meaning of the acronym you used to name the file, lol
"blowmfho.jpg" heheh, :beer:
 
The briefcase is open in the movie but is it the real briefcase? (i'm a bastard just so you know)


as for the pic of carli.. its in the movie but to appreciate the that picture you have to see the BTS footage which i will put up a little after the movies get released.

i'm sooooo original :)
 
first entry i watched. gotta say the overal feel of the camerawork and shots chosen felt amateurish. But on a brighter side this film did have all a spyfest movie needs. action, planes, femele on female love scenes :D

good job on making this you guys must have had some fun doin it.
 
I didn't think it was that amateurish, I did think that some of the acting was a little off though. Overall, pretty good though. Loved the music at the ending as well.

MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A FINE FILM!!!!!!!!

I am so impressed with your growth! You had so many nice filmmaking elements in Betrayal but with some flaws. You fixed those flaws here, my man! Nicely done!

Gotta love your "trademark..." :) I guess I'll always be a fan of your films!!!

I will be watching this a few times. Great job! Congrats to you.

Oh! WTF???? How did you get access to an airplane???? Very impressive when that came up on the screen! Nicely done. Do you have any bts from that set-up? I mean, the two actresses in the back, you in front of them... who was flying? What kind of aircraft? A 4 seater? Certainly couldn't have been much bigger than that!

Great job, Michael!

Thanks Ted, wow dude, appreciate the compliment.....

The plane was provided by Niel Bird a professional stunt pilot. Did it pro bono he did.. the only shot i did not shoot was the inside the cockpit shot that was done by Lucidz(ben Mccalister) I was on the runway with the Jax port authority... I might add the shot of the plane fly by was my third attempt... that was the hardest thing I ever tried to shoot. stunt Planes are friggin fast..

Next time I am down in FLA I am stopping by and partying with you my friend. I'll bring the scotch. I liked the film, it was entertaining. I liked that you went for something sexy. The hangar shot was money. the techno part of the soundtrack was cool. Congrats.

I enjoyed the cinemetography and the sort of bizarre "who is killing who and who is really dead" feel of the film. I felt the girl on girl thing was a little forced. When she takes her by the hand back to the bedroom is great, but the scene in the bedroom was a little awkward. Overall I loved the concept of the film but the acting was not strong enough to overcome the natural campiness that comes with a spy film. I can't wait to see your next project though.
 
This film seemed very tongue-in-cheek, which is what i'm assuming you were going for.

The hanger shot was cool, but overall the film felt pretty senseless to me.
I didn't really understand the story at all, it just seemed to be more about being throwing together over-the-top elements (planes, girl on girl, guns, etc.) and trying to convince the viewer that they were all meaningful and connected. But I guess I just didn't really find it that convincing.

It did feel kinda rushed and that pieces were missing, so I don't know if you had to edit it down a lot.

If you were going for the whole whimsical B-movie thing, then I think you succeeded.

A pretty ambitious project though, with the planes and all.

Kudos!
