I second what ROC said MSP. This guy spends money like water and seems to think that he created a masterpiece and knows something that none of the rest of us do. He also doesn't see the other youtube videos that have gone viral, it had nothing to do with their quality. Youtube is also free, nobody's going to be spending money on that.

I kinda liked it.
But then I liked Avatar, too...

I guess the fish hasn't come along yet that leaves positive comments...
Oh well.
I kind of feel bad for the guy, now.
I wonder why he came on this site to begin with?
Free promotion, maybe?
Hold on, I gotta sneeze...
ah..... ahh.......... ahCH-BANHIM.
Whew.
I want the time back that I spent attempting to help the guy.
Did anyone else get anything out of my posts regarding sound? C'mon, make me feel better!
Not true!
Most of the hits came from overseas. I don't know people overseas.
All my comment means is that this is not the first filmmakers board to view the 4 minute preview. That's all. You are trying to turn an innocent comment into something devious. What you are doing is wrong.

Your attempted comment on youtube was very childish and unprofessional. So, I did you a favor.
That NYIIF&V Festival gets no recognition from withoutabox.
So, you've worked on crap.
The music in my trailer is great.
You are just so jealous you tried to talk crap on youtube.
The audio in the trailer is BAD, the lighting is bad, and there are some bad shots. All I can do is plan to make all these things better in a future production.
Yes, the whole two features were shot in a public park.
The movies show what is possible with limited funds and a limited crew. It's nothing great. But, it's fun to watch.
I've read and heard that it's an axiom (assuming that axiom is the correct word) in low budget filmmaking that audiences can sit through "poor" visuals and easily accept the lousy visuals as ... part of the aesthetic whole.
BAD SOUND ... especially lousy sound that makes dialogue a burden to hear ... is far more damaging in labeling a work "amateurish"
It's strange but true: in a "visual" medium, lousy AUDIO often kills worse than poor visuals.
And I don't know nuthin' about AUDIO!
Here's a dark grungey visual I grabbed off video (about a Russian girl traveling with a carnival thru Indiana this summer) ... It was pretty DARK between the tents, pretty bad image, had to up the brightness beyond the sane laws of Man and Nature ... but you'd get used to it faster than if it were equally lame audio where you couldn't hear her interview etc.
Plus, I'm betting my lil editing fx let me "rescue" lousy video better than I could "rescue" bad audio??? Miss the dialogue and can it be salvaged, I dunno? I suppose there's always post!
So ... for what it's worth ... AUDIO is important! I need learn (and I'm trying to learn) that myself!

You are correct about the audio. That is why I've spent countless sleepless nights working to revamp it to be as good as possible.
It is encouraging from people viewing the 20 and 23 revisions that the audio has big improvements. It makes all those sleepless nights worth all the hard work.
I hope I'm here long enough for people to realize I'm a very straight forward individual.
I've worked in enough productions to see all the egos in the crew and postproduction people where they lock horns all thinking they know the other person's job. Most of the time they don't. I have a good sense of who knows what they are talking about and who is a BS artist. That goes with filmmakers too.
