SINAMON PRODUCTIONS present "NO AIR"

Hello Simon,

I saw your 1000th post video. Very sympatic. I like your eyeglasses - they make you pretty serious! Are this blue slippers made of felt? It's not to hot now - we are in Berlin and have summer here!!!!

Hi Simon. The only thing that matters is if you like your film.

The crits are cool and important. Man, as long as you enjoy what your doing and learning, it's all cool. Besides, 'one' of the best filmakers I have ever met here, is a Dutch, then 16, now 17 or 18 yr old kid. IMO.

I'm making one soon just to trash my name yet again, haha. So , just make good stories. That's ALL I care about. Well, good cam work, directing , writing, editing , compositing, sound, ect. But you will not get that in ours. :)

Nice to meet you on vid too. You have more guts than I have. :)

//Oh, the kid is not as good as Mac & Jack yet, but he's on his way.

Some shorts are great with no dialogue. This sounds like it will be one of them!

Haha, yeah I learned alot. Made many mistakes, but I still like my movie. I am looking forward to the critics and what people think about it. Thats what the fest is all about. Learning and having fun :)

Looking forward to your future entry :D

Man, it's sad that I don't know Buscemis voice. Damn german translations...
 
Hey Simon,

Very cool short. I loved the opening and how it became part of the film.

I must say I was let down with it by the end. At about 2 minutes in, I was expecting it to be a really great short... but then not much happened.

It looked great though and I loved the stylistic black/white thing you had going.

Ich liebe Deutsch, so fuer deine naechste Film, du sollst in Deutsch sprechen.

^this is all so incorrect. I've taken 2 years of German in high school. Also, I don't know how to use umlauts, so I had to use the 'e' which looks worse.
 
Simon, you are my first film review of the late evening. Took a dinner break and relaxing break and right back at it. I have high expectations :)

Alright, the words you love to hear...rolling and reviewing.

Interesting graphic in the begining. I really love the contrast. The sound is working relly well together. The blank book is creept. Actually, in general the entire thing is creepy.

SOund design is great so far. Though you can see an electronic plug on the white wall. Once I noticed it, it sticks out. And I'm glad you weren't smoking. Smoking is bad for you. haha. I digress.

I am really curious to see where this is going. Did you go and paint your walls for this?

And loving the flip of the cig. My friends can do that with a pencil and it blows my mind every time. Thought the smoking thing was interesting. Great shot there. Okay 3:35...WTF?

Well, I guess that is a message for you. Haha. You did confuse me slightly with that ending. Not going to lie.

But over all, great short.

Nicely shot. It did seem to drag a little bit. Maybe the action could have been pushed a little closer together. Didn't find many things technically off. Aside from that damn wall socket. haha. Oh well. Minor. Exposure you nailed. Framing was good. Overall, nicely done.
 
The inner geek (ok, outer geek) wants to see that clock squarely in the middle of black and white, now it's a little cock-eyed. (not much, I'm a geek)

Dammned wall socket. Take it out in post!

Very tense and interesting considering nothing is happening. Good work!

The ending didn't sell me. Sorry. The build up was way better than the ending.

Good work on a very stylistic short.

Thanks,
-Joe
 
Very creative and risky to do a one room short with hardly any movement but you did most of it well. I agree with Joe that the build up was great but the ending seemed not to match.
Did the guy get undressed into all black and take the other guys place?
Didn't notice the socket but I noticed the chairs didn't match in color design. Opening graphic rocked with how it tied into the first shot.
 
I liked this short....and I don't know why!

Loved it from the start and the way the opening graphic took us into the film (and out again in the end), very creative. The socket bugged me and could have been easily taken out. For a short short, it felt a little long, the pace was a bit slow. The audio was well done. Really liked the 'look' of it (MB?).

I'm still trying to figure-out what it meant...and the ending didn't make sense to me. I'll watch it a few more times though.

Great job!
 
This was very cool and abstract. One of my favorites. I really liked the way you transitioned from titles to the movie. Great work.
 
Hi Simon, I think this was pretty good overall. I liked the contrast of the characters, and the black revealed by the white guy in the was good, as well as the opening as others said.


Bumps, I didnt mind the POV shot of him looking at his hands, but then when the cam moved from his lap to the other character and back I was a bit thrown. A handheld OTS would have worked much more smoothly. The killing, I just wasnt 100% on.

Good job!
 
this was fantastic! I loved it. One of my only critiques is i wish you would have covered the ceiling with black/white as well as the carpet. It wouldn't have taken that much more time but it really would have solidified the whole concept.

I liked the ending and i think i understand what you were trying to convey. ie:

SPOILERS:

SPOILERS:

The guy in the white becomes the guy in the black and has to deal with the pressure of boredom and the desire to smoke. Addiction etc.
 
well shot and looked really cool. It kept me guessing where it was going and like some of the others i was a bit confused about the ending. when the other guy opened his shirt and had a black shirt under it i thought he would have all black clothes underneath his and take over the other guy's spot in front of the white wall haha. good job anyway and succes!
