"The Gig"

Well, I didn't get this baby done in time for the fest...Truthfully, it was edited down but that Sunday I became frustrated trying to compress it down to the required .mov and mpeg file requirements (actually I still haven't figured out an effective way to do this without buying some heavy duty compression software).

But the movie is on-line at youtube for all to see if anyone is interested. http://youtube.com/watch?v=ZvQaqoxEWIw

I'm checking out some of the flicks now and am enjoying them, will post my feedback in a short while.

Interesting flick and I am glad you posted it. The story was pretty good. The twist was nice as well. Only thing lacking story wise was that the guy would not have talked loudly about doing the girls if she could hear him in my opinion.

You tube does not do the visuals justice so I do not know if this was lit well or not. I do think the white balance needed to be used to make everything less ornagy unless that is what you are going for.

The two places this fell for me were sound design and acting. The sound kept starting and stopping, popping, and changing volumes. I'd hear sounds the girl was making that were different than what her mouth was doing. It needs to be tighter and more together.

The acting didn't work for me. The Girl did not sell me at all that she was scared. her screams of "help me" were not loud at all and kind of half hearted. The other two actors were a little better, but the performances did not let me get inot the movie. i kept noticing them.

On the positive side of things, like I said before, the story was good, as was the twist. I applaud you for being able to use that location (hotel room right?) to pull off a whole movie. I am glad you posted this link so that we can watch this and I hope some of the stuff I said helps. Congrats!
