thanks, and yeah I use after effects, but I didn't use it for this movie actually! and no, I don't take classes for anything, just try to learn it myself, hah. thanks!
You never responded to the messages I sent back to you about a month ago. Oh well. I must say, this is definitely an improvement in your work. Though the directing and the acting especially, not to insult your friends, could be a lot better, the editing stood practically flawless. You're building up your ability to create suspense and I applaud you on that. Get back to my messages and we'll discuss it a bit more.
What program do you use? I think I'm going start making videos of my own soon, starting with a Jackass parody for an intro for my school's morning announcements. :]
not bad, cinematgography is good, whoever was on camera knew what he was doing as well as editing, very good setting and story however, if you do pursue film you will get the chance to work with hired actors. People who are 30-50 and look the way the director wants them to look. overall great job!
Wow sorry Aaron i finally found some time to watch this. well to start off, i though the editing looked awesome! grading was very well done too. The music fit in nicely and acting wasnt bad. Overall pretty sick film man. Peace-
the constructive criticism that i can give you is:
1. get a tripod.
2. make a stalizer.
3. add more lighting to indoor shots.
4. and lastly, adjust the contrast. thats whats really important, in the outdoor scenes its hard to see a lot of the details because the contrast is too high.
thats all the advice i can give that no one else has said, dan.
thanks, I do have tripod, and I am using it for a film we are probably shooting tommorow; and yes, I did change the contrast at the last second and I kind of regret doing that now, because it looks a little too bright.
But thanks, I learned a lot from the process of making this film; and it's great to know that people are supporting and giving constructive critism. I've never gotten comments as good as these!
Thanks everyone, all of your ideas are being used!
It was ALright... same stuff as usual lol. I liked the how you pu like those still scenes of Teh Woods. Nice. Yeah...Reflex is turning out pwnage. We need your scene Aaron!! And Ghaskle!! lol. Oh and we are shooting anoher movie as well. Its like " Cinque De Anees PLutard ".
yeah, it's just meeh; just a casual start before we get into deh big stuff, thanks. I'm still doing exams, we have other stuff to do you KNOW! Good luck on your new movie!
I'm offically calling it the worst shoots we've ever had, we were like everywhere, and the rain too gaah. I also need a new battery because it kept freaking running out! Haha.
-you're a pretty good action director in terms of your frantic cuts in combat sequences. but suffice it to say, i do agree with jake.
-the periodic cuts to the outer parameters of the woods was a nice touch i thought...it added a sense of style and suspense in a somewhat subtle way.
-acting is also decent enough for a film like this. but it'd be nice to see a new genre from you guys, cos like the aforementioned comment your plots have been pretty much recycled from previous flicks.
I'm really loving the constructive critism and I agree with it all; I've talked to my actors and we're all agreeing that are next film will be scripted, planned out, have a longer shooting squedule and will be more then just a shooting action movie with dialouge made up on the spot. So you can definetly look forward to that!
if so, theres a cool one that jashan17 uses that I plan on investing in; along with a new battery, (battery life pretty much screwed up a lot of this movie) and if I can get enough saved, seeing that I have a summer job now, I may possibly get a new camera as well. :)
It was pretty good. Little bit too shaky, dialogues were really "Limited" and basic. MAKE A SCRIPT!lol. Story was the same ol' thing you always do, hah. What happened to the quality? You use the mpg thing I showed you?
mpg thing? you mean the mp4 thing? I did, and I thought the qual turned out pretty good. Yeah I also agree with everything you said, we just vomited up crappy dialogue on the spot.
You could almost call this a test movie though, because we just wanted to start off simple before we started to move into more complicated stuff.
THANKS. AOAC shooting tommorow. I'd count that as a test movie too, haha.
my only critique is that when theres a large cast of people like that, the fast pace and quick cuts between shots make it kind of hard for the viewer to interpret the two different "sides" you know? other than that it was cool. ive seen you guys mention before this is the last of these kind of videos for a while?? well either way im eager to see you guys experiment with new genres. that will be cool. keep up the great work.
experimenting is exactly what we plan on doing from now on; and yeah like I said in the description, last time I'm working with 9 people when you have about 5-6 hours to film, it's hard to keep the viewers understanding too.
Not bad, could of been a bit better in the terms of storytelling. The thing that confused me a bit was the scene the soldiers entered the house. Then I realized that it was a flashback. The guy in the green shirt made a great bad guy as well. I have to say though the movie did end a bit quick though. Other than that, I did add this in my favorites so I can see it again. Great job!
It was good, I liked the editing and the scenery was beautiful. It ended way too soon though, I think you could have probably wrote more to it so it lasted longer but it was still fun to watch!
yeah, I think this is going to be the last movie with the shaky camera work, not everyone adjusts to it, but thanks! I'll put a high quality link there now.
damn this is good, gives me some ideas...
