No problems with your lighting choices for the most part, except for inside the Wooligan's spaceship... I know you were going for something "different" here to emphasize they were inside a spaceship, but it felt off to me... to red I think. Seemed a little synister, and didn't fit the tone for the rest of the film.

Ah, I've gotta disagree there. Maybe it's just because I'm a sucker for tone shifts, sbverted expectations, irony, etc. but I loved that these cute little hand puppet sheep were bathed in eerie red light. It emphasized that they were actually aliens, not Lambchop. And amused me, too.
 
First, I loved the snowy outdoor backdrop of your short. It instantly made it unique to the other shorts.

THe bigest bug I had was that at the end your bars become grey in some clips and your blacks aren't consistant. Possable CC problem. Mimor but noticable.

Great work. Thanks for the entry,

thanks a lot guys!
i actually watched it again tonight and didn´t like a lot of choices i made...as for the timeline: i wanted to shoot a scene with a shoe falling from the sky and then explain where it came from. it was planned as a story, told by an old grandfather to a little boy (maybe compareable to "the princess bride" -structurewise- with the little boy asking questions and the grandfather hopping around in the timeline to make it more exciting for the boy- so he wouldn´t tell right from the beginning what actually crashed that certain day...and introducing the characters a little more : the 2 guys, the pregnant girl and the fanatic who believed in aliens all the time and finally tracks them down (after they crashed) tries to break the ship open (which is buried in the ground-after the crash) and explodes as they defend themselves...

after realizing, that i´ll never be able to tell the whole thing in 6 min, i tried to cut it down to the "most important" scenes, while sticking to the original structure - BAD CHOICE!!

it´s just sometimes hard to work on an idea and then rewriting it, while you try to keep as much as possible- DEFINATELY SOMETHING I HAVE TO LEARN!

i´m still trying to find some energy/enthusiasm to reshoot the missing scenes and finish a longer version, but it´s so hard to find the motivation after you´ve finished a "product"

we´ll see, but again thanks for your comments- i´ll try to comment on all the entries, but i haven´t even seen them all, but -as i said in another thread- the feedback and constructive criticism is the most important thing for all of us...

THANKS
 
Man The Characters Just Grab You Good Comedic Timing Kool Story, Entertained Me To The End, Fun!
 
I don't like country/western music. Jerky picture although got better, not keen on subtitles either. Thought the aliens were brilliant. Although the ship at the end was unrealistic.

 
thanks kimko and iSTy,

what do you mean with "jerky picture"???

i know that spaceships can never be as realistic as squeeky sheep from outer space with condoms on their heads...;-)
 
I meant 'jerky picture' as alot of the films seemed to have. I just noticed it alot more in some.
 
This one made me laugh with the Brokeback Mountain dudes :)
I thought for sure they were going to kiss. The alien ants line made me laugh out loud too. I though this was a cool idea.
