I don't know what I think of it on its own but this flick would be great to use as background for something. Something creepy, possibly bugfuck insane.
Honestly i feel like the movie didn't really portray anything. I mean until i actually read the comment about the television and effects on people. I lacked a lot of visuals.
We shot in S-VHS (DV had yet to be invented!), edited in camera as we went. That transferred to VHS, which I filmed off of a TV screen all the way through so that the end zoom worked, that got a lot of the look. That then went through a basic colour mixer and picture softener (a little plug in unit, PC editing was still a few years away from affordability) to VHS, transferred to DV about 9 years later, ran it through Premiere to get the blacks back to black from grey and put it on here!
The atmosphere, creepy if you ask me, made me rather uncomfortable - and that's good. Haven't seen your other shorts, but as a stand-alone, this piece (with main focus on atmosphere) works fine for me, even though the story doesn't evolve more than on a feeling level. I'll check out some more of yours... CU
Not bad. Nice atmosphere, very eerie music which slowly makes itself felt. Thematically I'd have liked a little more, but this is definitely a decent film, worth a look for anyone interested in the short film genre.

Ah, yes, but who is watching the Watchers?
I liked the fact that, on purpose or not, the televisual man was played by Dave Smith. Is that not a PERFECT "everyman" sort of name?

The cinematography of that was wonderful, what was your method of creating that grainy blue and black TV look?
