watch I have a rendezvous with death

New here, just wanted to show you my last film, what do you think?!

I heard this poem years ago, it got stuck in my head and just wouldn't let go, so years later I finally got this project realised...

Nice photography, costumes, and locations.

Very nice.

Really nice photography.

I wonder if it would've been more powerful without the music?

Thanks everyone!

@cheeseandachallenge, we tried, but didn't workout that well without music

Really good man did you submit this to any film festivals? And what camera did you guys use?

Thank you! No we actually didn't, because of the video clip feel the film sends out, we didn't think this was festival material

Looks pretty good.

The sound design and the mix are substandard.

The music was repetitious and didn't take me anywhere.

Ok thanks for your criticism,

hey one question, is the voice not understandable, three people complained about it, but I just don't hear it. It sound loud enough to me...

The voice was a bit muddled at times. The speaker didn't enunciate the words well at times, and more so, the music and sound effects overpowered the voice at times too. Perhaps if it was spoken slower and there was a bit more time to let the events unfold (as well as the voice be more prominent among the other sounds), it could be better.

AMAZING work though. The images were so beautiful and crisp. The color grading and camera work was absolutely fantastic. The sound mix (aside from the voice at times) was great, and it overall, just looked great. Fantastic work. This is something to be proud of.

Yeah, just couldn't figure what it was at first, cause after hearing the poem so many times you just know it word by word and you aren't objective anymore.

Thanks for your kind words!
