"Tolerance" Action/Comedy/Thriller short

[crazymcnutjob]

hey guys, this is a movie I put together with my DVX100a this summer. A few weeks ago I showed the DVX community the first four minutes and it was well received.

I spent a lot of time lighting night scenes (I was the director and DP), so I would love some feedback about the technical aspects (like the image and editing) and also the movie in general. The movie and story are meant to be entertaining so I hope you guys find it enjoyable.

Here is the link, the video was compressed in H264 in QT7

Enjoy and please give me any suggestions, comments, or feedback you can think of. This is practically the first "decent" movie I've ever made. Thank you!

Congratulations on finishing your film.

I really liked a lot of the shots. I thought you did an excellent job in particular with many of the moving shots, which can be very tricky.

The story was a little slow for me and the acting was definitely a little stiff, but I liked the ending and the way it all tied together.

If you get a chance I would recommend that you try a much quicker edit. I think you could definitely shorten it by at least 1/3 and it would all have more impact.

Thanks for sharing it,

Chris
