Say what?
I'm going to start out by saying that I'm a pretty harsh critic. I'm also pretty new to the group, and you seem like a tight nit bunch... which doesn't help that me earn points with you guys. I appreciate the time and energy put into this competition - and I respect everyones participation.
but...
Story worked perfectly, acting was great overall
you sure that didn't have a budget, looks great
I think this film was really well put together! Makes you want to see a full-length movie about it!
with shots like that your not to far off from getting funding!
As for your movie, you have some very impressive shots.
Ya know... I'm just not seeing it.
I don't see any craft in the lighting.
The acting seemed thin... poorly blocked and captured.
Camera work felt lacking.
Story was a little bland - got the point from the first sequence. No suprises, no development.
The use of the filter effect is a little unclear - are we seeing a "distorted world?"
Please explain.
It doesn't feel like it's on the same level as "Talking Dead" - and the comment on this thread make me think that the people involved became new members of IndieTalk and voted for their baby, whether it was the best or not.
The only reason I'm singling this one out is because of the attention it's getting, and the ranking it's recieving. Like I said... I just don't see it.
Again, I know I'm coming accross as the jerk - but these are my thoughts. I'd love to hear other perspectives, and I'm more than willing to digress if given good reason.
