The Dust Settles

The teaser looks great, Jace. Hey, at least you had one crew member - one more than I had! But then I only had two actors. Sounds like you've made an epic. Looking forward to seeing this.

when I say one crew member I also mean doubling as the main actor :p
 
Jace, well the modern Civil War is certainly an interesting them. THe most WAR packed entry Ive seen. Gunfire / action. On that I thought the action components were well done. I thought you really went for a challenging story and I give you props for that. The opposing brothers bought into the future - nice. Some of the dialogue at times felt forced. But moreover here Jace I want to commend you for what you attempted.

Yeah I was a little disappointed myself that more people didnt have a battle scene :p They are not easy to do so maybe that scared people away. Idk. But doing a battle scene for the first time was a lot of fun for me. I want to try it again some time in the future
Anyway! Thank you for the feedback, I appreciate it. :D
 
Nice casting - especially with the sarge, great use of your locations, nice work on getting all of the props together. You pulled a lot of stuff together to make this film happen, of that you should be proud. :)

My only critique, is that the death scene took too long and was a bit over the top for my taste. While it was a nice moment, since I didn't know anything about the characters prior to this point, as a viewer, I didn't really care that they were brothers and one was dying- their internal struggle with the situation just wasn't there for me. But I think this has more to do with the fact that this is a 6 minute short, so you don't have the time to pull a viewer in like that to really pull on their heart strings.
 
Considering this was filmed in 23 hours, I was impressed. The colors felt a little purple to me, but that could just be personal taste. I was definitely entertained.

thank you! However, not sure what you mean by purple, as we used a more golden color correction filter.
 
This was awesome, I laughed my ass off when the brother was dying, I thought the asian kung-fu movie over the top acting was a riot. At first I wasn't expecting it to have that element, but it all fell into place when the brother died. Then I got what you were going for. Very funny stuff.

Alright? In that case I think I have completely failed as a director if this made you laugh, as it was supposed to be a dramatic film… thanks for the feedback however.
