American Werewolf In London II? J/K

Please PLEASE have your British actors have fake American accents (if you want me to laugh) it has to be my favorite thing on Earth.

But seriously, I hope it's good, about time we get some good ole' accents around this joint.

I'm afraid you might be disappointed - our lead actress is an Aussie!
And no werewolves or fake American accents - but thanks for the comments. :)

Cool poster...I was wondering when someone might work in the myspace craze theme.

Of course I could be completely off track here, but I'm excited to see it!
 
Bts/caps added to first page...

Just to update, we're well into post now.
I'm currently finishing off the audio & sound design, and then I get to start on the score - if I ever manage to tear myself away from foley! It's too much fun. :)
Ross has edited & graded to a pretty-much locked picture now, so we should be well on track to finish for the deadline.
 
So did we brits deliver? Has anyone seen this yet?

Am knew on here and would love to hear what any of you guys thought of our first flick.....
 
POSSIBLE SPOILERS......





Loved the opening credit! Very slick...
Acting seemed quite solid overall.

I liked the tie-in at the end as well. Really, quite good overall.
Of course, I could be picky and nail you for the lack of 10 seconds worth of credits. ;)

All in all.... very good movie.

Cheers,

Mike

Nice job!
This was was a very pleasant surprise for me, as I didn't know what to expect because I've never seen any of your work.

The story on this one I thought was great.
I completely thought I knew where it was going...and when you had the guy chicken out I was honestly surprised, and a bit horrified.
That was really a great moment.

Good work - solid story - tehcnically it could have been a little smoother, some shots stood out as very nice, while others only seemed 'ok' by comparison... so stylistically it seemed a bit uneven (or I guess 'inconsistent' is the word I'm looking for)... but the story carried this thing through, in my opinion.

Well done.
:thumbsup:
 
Wow - thank you so much for these comments, its really great to get some good constructive feedback!!

To be honest I think Im in total agreement with each of these reviews, but most of all Im happy that you have fully understood the story I was trying to tell first and foremost, as I did a few things structure wise I was wondering about in the edit.

Overall I was really quite pleased with the actors performances, although it was weird, the things I thought it would hard to get them to do (like fighting etc) were really easy and the simpler things (like talking on the phone? Hello!!) were really tough. I think they all carried the material well and suited their roles.

Now - the juicey part - lets talk shots!! I think you nailed it here below Luis Caffesse, I really wanted to pack this film with a lot of striking and unusual angles and began by following my storyboard quite unforgivingly. Then I turned around and it was the end of the first day of our 2 day shoot and I had pretty much only got all the exteriors in the can. Uh-oh!! It meant we had to race through a lot on the begining part of the 2nd day (especially the kitchen stuff) and I had to just start shooting standard coverage for some of this. after this we shot the fight stuff and I managed to get back on track with where I wanted to be shot wise here.

What did you guys think of the score?

As a director this was the one area that I was most happy with. It was my first collaboration with DVXUser member Wilx, a composer and fellow camera geek and I was really made up with his work. I had no idea what he was gonna come back with, and in the end I didnt ask him to change a thing. Well done to him.

But enough of this shamless back-patting, its sounding like a DVD 'making of ' documentary round here.

Thanks for all your comments, please keep 'em coming!!:dankk2:
