The Impossible Race

I really enjoyed this! Crazy and zany, loved the over the top sound fx, the small details (cardboard sign texts :-), and the general absurdity of it all. I hope you do another one like this!
 
Hah! Freakin' Hilarious man. You need to expand this into your first feature. Make it a goofy high school flick. Great job!

Thanks this was a ton of fun with Joey on board. He is a great actor and very funny. It would be fun to help each other out with our shorts. Im always looking for more people to network with. I really want to do a feature film. NOW!!! But I need a great script that Im working on and some really good actors as well. I think with the amazing team here in Fresno, ( HyperActive Studios) we can do it. :)

Absolutely! I would be happy to jump on board (as an actor, writer, both, or anything really. I'll even hold a boom if I have to!)
 
Heheheh WOOOOWWWWAAA! This movie starts out with a bang! Heheheh

OK, I cant’ stop laughing at this film! I LOVE the white chariot.

This movie is so damn random! I’d love to see the script for this film. I’m sure it goes something like this.

“Five misfits gather to win a foot race and each will stop each other from winning. And a 5 year old ends up beating them all in the end. The end.”

Thank you for the laughs. There were a few gems in this one.

Congrats on entering the fest.

Hey thanks man, I really appreciate the feedback. This is my first and Im feeling better good about it. I had a great crew and some actors that would do anything I asked, so I couldnt have asked for anything better. Thanks again, and good luck in the fest.
 
Hey,

Just caught the flick. SO enjoyed this. Your attention to detail and ability to follow through is astounding. This was a fun ride with hilarity to spare. It looked wonderful, sounded great, and was a riot of style. Loved it.

The finger blowing off thing to shooting the guy to that one runner actually watching the guy???? AWESOME!!!!!!!!

Yeah, this piece is crazy. Loved it. Good work. Congrats on an amazingly strong first piece. Can't wait to see what else you cook up.

Thanks man, this was a blast to make! I really appreciate the feedback, it is really supportive and is helping me become a better director. Thanks again. :)
 
lol, thought the blowing off of the finger was brill, and, although I liked the sign, i got a bit fed up with it after a while, saw it too many times, other than that, I thought it was silly (in a nice way).
cheers!
 
You got some good laughs out of me.

It had a little napoleon dynomite feeling to it, with extra craziness added.

I haven't seen anyone mention the big hotspot/ vignetting you have going on in the wider shots especially. It was a little distracting only because I am so attuned to it after making a DOF adapter that does the same.

I think you could do a little more in the build-up, right before the race, and during the race. It feels a little choppy. You have a bunch of nice slowmo shots, and i think the editing and sound/ music could make it more EPIC, like the biggest race of the century. It was close, and the elements were there, but still needs more.

IMO comedies are the most difficult to pull off well, and you did.

Congrats!
 
The funniest film of the fest! Great work. Maybe some of the pacing and editing could have been tightened up a bit, but you have a talent for humour and a great eye for putting in all the little telling detail.

The vignetting is partially by choice, and partially by the cheap lenses we were using. When I say by choice, I mean we knew the lenses were doing it, and it could have been corrected it in post, but it gave a certain feel to the film. I like that he left it in, however I probably would have added vignetting to the rest of the film to make it match.
