It's tough to give feedback from a few screen grabs, is there a teaser or trailer to watch. An episode would be even better:)
 
Yep - the trailer will be posted online later this week. I'll keep you updated with the link :)

Really enjoyed shooting with the F3 (even without the S-log!) - there are a couple of 50fps slow mo running shots in there. Solid camera!
 
Hi John and Marlon - thanks for your comments.

Do vote for the trailer via Facebook if you get chance :) Would love to produce the full season!
 
Holy crap! How'd you put it together? What was the budget like, and I guess you must have assembled all the sets yourself? It looks crazy!
 
The wow factor is in the visuals, for sure. Beautiful sets, locations, actors and visuals. Very nice.

Though I have to say the big weak point is the acting. I'm guessing they're not seasoned actors, but you could tell some of it was in how they were directed, or the dialogue itself. The acting was really stilted and one noted. The only emotion I saw was when people would yell, which isn't a good thing. Plus the blocking matched it. People would walk, stop, and delivered their line (and that's what it looked like). Or they would wait for the other actor to finish their line, then deliver theirs. It felt too planned, too staged.

I think it has potential, and I love Sci-Fi and Mars, so I hope you do well. If this does become a series though, I hope you really focus on the acting, getting the best you can out of them.
 
Hi Jon - thanks for the feedback. Appreciated and all taken on board :)

We have just got into the Phoenix Comicon, which is quite exciting. Looking to find ways to get the project off the ground and considering a Kickstarter/IndieGoGo campaign. Anyone here any experience of doing one?
