Nice production value. Didn't get through it very far because of the subject matter.

Lol..you know what he’s talking about.
That discussion could go on for days...but...a little birdy tells me that it would be a quick way of closing this thread. Anyways…this was a good start. I liked it, subject matter and all, from start to finish. If anything the only thing that bothered me was the crowd reaction during some of the preaching. At times it didn’t feel like it was matching to the preaching (maybe it's just me). Also, the guy coming onto the woman, his vocals seemed to have dropped out real low.
Anyways…I’m looking forward to seeing what the big bully has in store for the preacher. Keep it coming.
Oh, and one more thing, as Doug Villaba(sp) said in the other thread, the color correcting I would have done slightly different. But hey…that’s just a matter of personal taste.
Thanks for watching. The show is going to focus on what happens when your past comes looking for you. It just so happens that this family is in the church business. I wont dwell on that. That's for another day. This was inspired by a very good friend of mine who happens to have a past like we all do and he's looking for a brighter future, like we all are.

Oh cool...I like stories like that. It can literally go in any direction. I can already see the preacher man might be regressing back to his old self (possibly) with what he had in the front seat. Scandalous...lol.

Not necessarily so.
I've known and done pistol practice with several preachers who "carry". Even had one in one of my Defensive Handgun classes. Kind of may have been an application of "God helps those who help themselves".
Fairly common here in West Texas.

Looks pretty good actually, the audio is what bothered me. Most of the audio was good including the part about "the deal" at 3:45 I don't hear the cuts that bad at all. The only issue is when the big guy has his back to the camera at 4:30. Then the audio at around 9:00 in the foyer with the Deacon was bad, I'd almost say record and dub voices in there.
This is a Texas project. The effect I was going for is to show the Gun and the Bible. You may need to be protected by both. Its up to you which one to use.
Thank for watching Kevin. Audio was a challenge in some places. We may be looking to ADR some parts going forward. DVXuser has been a tremendous help and resource.

....and you're absolutely right Bruce. That's typically true here in FLA. as well. It's just the first thing that went thru my mind when I saw that scene...especially when the guy he was talking with asked "what do you need that for?" But hey...I guess we'll find out.
Ha, ha. You got pretty decent acting throughout - which is a big challenge in these tiny indie projects... so you're already ahead of 99% of the competition out there. I especially liked the pastor - great performance. IQ is nice, but audio needs to match that same quality. Wish you much success!
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. There's lots of great talent here in Dallas/ Fort Worth. Most of these actors come from the stage, so they all showed up rehearsed and knew all of their lines. What else can you ask for? I just hope we really showcase what they are capable of.

Yessir. I kind of figured that was the case, our law is basically modelled after Florida's Concealed Weapons Law. Your state was one of the first to pass "shall issue".
I have to admit, that was also the first thing that crossed my mind too with the "cannot serve two masters" quotation at the beginning. But, yes, we'll find out. I'll be looking for the next episode. This filmmaker has some story going here and I think it's pretty well done. Good production values.

Great stuff - yeah a few minor technical issues but I liked the content and can appreciate the pre-production that goes into something like this. I thought the first sequence was exceptionally well shot and cut and congrats on getting out there and doing it. Was the first sequence GH2 or F3 ? My guess is F3, but would be pleasantly surprised if it was Gh2.

...Which reminds me of why I'm glad I live in the Great Free State of Texas...
Yes, I caught that.
I could choose both. Reminds me of Arnold Schwarteneger's character in "End Of Days" making a choice:
"Between your faith, Father, and my Glock...
...I choose my Glock"
But I follow your message, when I'm watching another's motion picture work I'm not originally critical. As long as what he is doing is presented to me so I can watch it without "effort" and it keeps my interest going, I trust the filmmaker to tell me the story his way. He's made the effort, I can either stay with it or leave if it doesn't keep my interest.
I'm going to stay with yours, you seem to be a good visual storyteller.
Thank you for watching and commenting. This was definitely a team effort. The first sequence (where they are talking at the car and the woman is looking) is the GH2 ( hacked). The second scene outside the church is the F3 and the rest is a mixture of both cameras.
Thank you again Bruce for your comments. We are still shooting and episode 2/3 are in the can and almost done. I will try my best to keep it interesting. This site has been a great resource and source of inspiration.

Wow, well there you go. Just goes to show how close all these cameras look when viewed in a compressed format. Would love to see the difference (if any) on a big screen. I have always believed its not what you shoot stuff with, it's how you shoot it and set it up. This endless discussions about 2K, 4K, 5K are useful, but in the end, it's the content you're watching that counts.
