Funny, to see Jack doing what I'd already dropped in his and Briceman's thread ... just a little more obvious with mine:

Personally, I liked this film.
At first, as in from the start, it really grips us.
Not like some others that take forever go get to the story.
Do you know what I mean?
Of course you do.
Really a great flick to watch!
A must see!

OK I'm logging off and watching Walk The Line for the 1st time with the GF (on hotel pay per view)
 
Yeah, but I STARTED before you. Besides, takes mOre work to start a sentence from one letter, than it Does to just go through & BOLD the letters you want to Stand out. See, Q, I even promoted your own stinkin' film in oUr threAD! Yeah, I'm a giver, it's what I do.
 
HAHA! You are the man Norm. I should really do something productive right now, but I don't want to!!! Like my poster? ;)

Couldn't have said it better Norm

Ian, thanks for that. Funny, at first I thought YOU did that ... then I'm like, well that looks familiar. :)

Brandon, I just realized what a huge dump you took in this thread. When I saw your post about about the poster last night, I had NO clue what you were talking about ... then I skip back a page & get smacked with that advertisement.

Funny!. Now scoop it up. :)
 
Sfx Was Kool. Beginning Was Well I For Got. They Were Sitting Around Drinking ?the Actors Had A Good Look To Them. I Liked The Beam Shot In The Chest, Shoot I Got To See This Again,i've Only Seen These Once. I'll Be Back
 
Look forward to it, kimko, thanks. That's why I had to watch a film, score it, and immediately critique/comment in their thread ... or I'd NEVER remember. :) Shoot, that's why I even created several threads for the film makers, because I needed to comment right away, or it just wouldn't happen later.
 
Hey Norm, I really liked the story idea. The audio needed some tweaking in the warehouse but it was still watchable. I thought the acting was good all around and the effects were good also. I thought the ending shot of the guys eyes nailed it dead on. Good one dude.
Peace

Thanks.
We wnet through several variations on those SFX until we came up with something we were happy with. Norm was using Particle Illusion, and I think he did a good job of comping in the SFX, as it was a pain for some of the shots- So it is nice to know that they are liked- especially after he worked so hard on them.

:violent5:

(Smily doesn't really have anything to do with anything, I just saw it and thought it looked cool.)
 
Overall, Pandora is one of my favorites so far.

Cinematography, SFX, screenplay… everything was well produced and executed. Though I am sure this project did not go with-out it’s share of issues, you both were able to put together an excellent short.

Only small problems that seem to stand out to me are as follows.

During the “domestic scene” while the couple (Mitchell and Trisha) where close in each others arms… the lighting does not always seem consistent from one cut to another.

And my only other note… the SFX of the orb seem to be a tad bit to in focus. Maybe if you soften them a bit, it will seem more part of the shot and less something placed on top.

Oh and I do have to say that Mitchell is a really cutie. :D (Norm, just had to pick on you…)

Congratulations to you both, you did a great job.
 
Thanks for your input Trent.

As fr the lighting issues- It might be a CC issue as we kept the setup the same though out the scene, the only place where it changed was at the end when Mitchell walks away. So the actual lights did not move at all.

Although you may be referring to what we did with the CC durring that part of the scene- which if you are good job on picking up on that- When mitchell gets the phone call and realizes what has happened to nicki and her baby we slowly fade from the CC'd image back to the non-CC'd image. So if that is what you are referring to good eye. No one has caught that yet. :)
 
Although I haven't read all the comments, I offer mine.

The acting was pretty good, I enjoyed the fight at the end and I didn't think too much of the sound quality.
 
I just watched this again and had to chime in on the scene with the truck racing up to the warehouse...that is my favorite scene of the whole piece. It just looks really good, the framing, the color...the speed is right, the Letus adapter makes this shot "pop".

Not that the rest of the film doesn't, but this is my favorite shot of the whole film. By the way, I turned in my score sheet yesterday and afterwards I finally looked at the "total score" column....I thought you (Norm and Ryan) would be happy to know you got the top spot on my sheet :2vrolijk_08:

Peace,
Larry

Would mind elaborating on what you didn't like about it? More spacifics would help us do better in the future. Thanks for the critique.



:kali:

(I just love these "new" smilies!)

I did notice that CC change the first time I saw it. I assumed it was an error in the file, and didn't pay attention to it. So it was intentional?
