    watch Scarlet's Witch < Short Film Release!

    Sorry it certainly wasn't meant to be. Just based on your marketing work, I think you stand out in that area. Take this as a compliment, there's a lot more money in that part of the industry, and you have a more unique talent in that.

    watch Scarlet's Witch < Short Film Release!

    For some reason I feel as though you'll find success in film marketing rather than filmmaking. Whether it be poster art or film trailers. In my opinion this is perhaps more important than the filmmaking aspect itself when it comes down to business.

    watch Scarlet's Witch < Short Film Release!

    Very nice, I liked this far more than any of your other works. I loved what you did with the color, but perhaps a little less intense. I don't the cinematography in a picture should ever over-power a work, I felt as though it did here. The technique was still great!!! Just perhaps a little less...

    watch Darkwood < New Short

    I watched the film again. Let me say, I enjoyed it far more. The execution was very good, as I stated. I think I realize that my problem with it is just the way its shot. Simply because this style has become so routine lately. But the direction, for what it is, is quite well done. Also, this...

    I haven't yet seen The Wrestler, but from what I've heard...this sounds almost the same

    watch Shanked - A reality show satire

    Very amateur in execution. But the story could be good. Very difficult to tell from the trailer, I'd like to see at least part of the finished product before I can pass judgment on the picture as a whole. I like the concept.

    watch Darkwood < New Short

    Perhaps not far from original in terms of story. But in execution, this is basically like every other film/television show of the genre.

    watch Darkwood < New Short

    Good camera work, but it was far from original. This was well executed, but nothing all that special. I'll break it down as I do with all films on here. Scores are based both on originality and technical execution. DIRECTION- 5.5/10 SOUND MIXING- 8.5/10 CINEMATOGRAPHY- 6.5/10 EDITING- 8/10...

    watch Refractory

    The first minute or so were very well done, I liked the technique during the intro- though I found it was used a little too often. Interesting story as well. I feel as if it could have been a little better developed, but that wasn't a big problem at all - it was unique, which is important. I...

    watch Looking for opinions

    I like your use of effects. I have problems with the direction and cinematography. Both because they are not original and not effective in advancing plot. However, for being done in a living room, in a very leisure setting I assume - well done. It's nice to see people doing it just for the joy...

    watch Critics wanted: Bo "S.B." Schooler Clips

    I like the editing. I'm sorry but the style was BRUTAL in my opinion. It was far too artsy, and that being said, the colors used were all over the place. Style should suit the picture, it should be pretty much invisible. This isn't to say it shouldn't be original or artistic, but it should suit...

    watch First Short Film: Imaginary Lives

    If this is amazing for a 14 year old, then I might as well have had a contract with Universal at age 10. To the filmmaker: Study what filmmaking really is. It's more than capturing pictures. That being said, yes you are 14, and continue working at your craft. I suggest buying a book on...

    watch Final scene "REALIZE"

    Here's the FINAL scene from my most recent film. This is just a rough edit, some sound needs to be adjusted - along with duration of the shots. I can't upload the full film due to contractual reasons at film festivals. Thanks! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07DgDKg6xrA More videos will be up...

    good special effects good editing horrible story horrible and cliche direction

    watch First short film - "Just War"

    Great visual effects for a film of this kind of budget. Great direction for the first minute. After that I can't say I really enjoyed it. The story could have been stronger and more reflective of the theme, and the direction got more into 'cool' than storytelling. It felt all over the place at...

    watch Short Film: "Johnny"

    I'm going to give an honest opinion, because when it comes to filmmaking, that's the most important one. Keep in mind I'm not judging you, I'm judging your FILM. Overall it had a poor story, poor editing, and poor direction. Black and white DOES NOT mean style. It's become somewhat of a cliche...

    Tips on flow

    If you're having this much trouble starting out, you should probably enroll in some courses/even online tutorials. or perhaps it just isn't for you. Maybe you're more of a story teller, not a filmmaker (which in a sense is a contradiction, so I should say not a VISUAL story teller). If there is...

    Hitman project - help!!

    I'm currently making a picture for school, the process has been very complicated. We're paired off and one person has to write the beginning, the other has to write the end. I'm writing the ending. The other twist to this is that there can only be one character and the film can be no longer than...
