NIGHTLIGHT - a batteryfire film

Dude! Don't know how I missed this one... but BRAVO. My new favorite! And the fact that you shot on a GH1 basically sealed the deal for me as far as wanting to buy one of those! Congrats on getting into the finals and good luck placing! Looking forward to the screening next saturday!
 
Wow ... I don't know where to begin, honestly.

I loved this. Not a SINGLE word spoken, but yet you told so much just through the acting, which I thought was well cast. Loved everything about the talent.

The shooting on this was INCREDIBLE! So well lit, and shot. I was beyond impressed, especially with your night scenes. I'll have to go back & see if I can find how you shot this, etc. Sooooo good!

Audio was top notch ... fit like a glove with the music & mix.

Your opening titles & scene, as well as ending titles ... just extremely pro.

A very simple story, but one that SO incredibly fit the theme/idea that would default in my head of what a "quest" is.

My ONLY two suggestions, and minor as they are, would be: More sweat. Have a spray bottle off camera to plaster their faces between shoots, as well as collars & armpits. They looked too clean, and especially not sweating enough, considering swinging a machete through the jungle like that. The other would be where the guy gets stabbed. Something about it just seemed a hair off, but can't define what at the moment would make it pop more for me. Maybe keeping it simple & understated as it currently is would be the better approach ... though when the shirt is first torn open, it doesn't appear we can see a stab wound at all, as compared with the close up.

Again, this was amazing, and my new favorite. Congrats on the placement of top 8!

Oh yeah, and PERFECT VFX with that plant too ... amazing!
 
Thanks for the kind words everyone, and great suggestions Norm.

The HD screening master has been sent to Zak with better color grading, credits, and sound mixing. :thumbup:
 
This is fun to watch. I locked in and enjoyed every minute. This is one of the purest QuestFest themed shorts and the amazing thing is it managed to do it without one stitch of dialogue. I believe it was a bold move on your part and congratulate you. You speak a universal language that the whole world understands - the language of images. All the elements worked in harmony as well. This is first rate act.
 
ATL represent! or something like that. Anyway, good job on winning... I just knew you'd come in and impress and you didn't let me down.

Damn you for not letting me down dude. :grin:

Now we gotta talk about our schedules for MonsterFest....
