Compendium III (Part 1) - Hook - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[awagamgnalaw]

Love the concept! Very stiff acting though =/

[Beatlekid1800]

both the actors seem disconnected from the scene. This plays more like a web series then a theatrical shoot . This just looks like two actors just saying their lines. Nothing pulled me in.

[mrincredible26]

movie! Hook produced by leonardo dicaprio's company. that would be a sick movie.

[sadapindo]

I believe the american movie makers were great in After synchronisation? Called ADR, why isn't that used in this movie..? I believe it would be more dynamic, at least the sound. Because I don't hear any shit! And that is so badly, because the cinematography was great!

[Oranges8]

Delivery is unbelievable. The actors must be the characters, live the characters, take their character's flaws as their own, the strengths, the weaknesses, the inhibitions, their fears. These performances don't sell me the moe

I’m a recent grad from VFS. Please check out my short film:

the should re-edit this and bring up the audio levels ... much too low.  The actors looked good, but their delivery was un-inspiring ... agree with the earlier comment of being too "on the nose" ...true.

[lafucil]

The acting was not that good IMO. The actors knew who they were supposed to be but their deliveries were to on the nose and stiff. That meeting should have felt like Hannibal Lecture and Clarice. The lighting was excellent, although I would have started with hooks face totally in the dark and after every cutaway bring him out by 1/4. I love the steampunk tone and designs. Overall 7.5/10

[aakaashbhai]

I cant hear a thing.............. even with the volume at maximum :(

[Spamalope]

@aakaashbhai Same here, and I also had to tinker with the volume periodically as it went from being inaudible to unpleasantly loud... just on my laptops built in speakers.

Why does it take so many people to make something as short as this? Im not in the film-business but so many names at the end of productions. I'm always amazed at watching film credits when literally thousands of names scroll across the screen. my question is: could this short not be made by... I don't know 2 or 3 people?

[befrey]

@thevalkyrie8 ppl that whant to be an acteur dont learn programs on pc how to edit video handle a camera write a story make the music etc... you jsut need a big amount of people to handle all the jobs.. evrywhone does his part.. there is not 1 that creates all..

[KoolTunes4Daze]

@thevalkyrie8 ....That's the film-business....I always check the catering service....when Hollywood uses my neightborhood and blocks off my street....we are always invited to join the cast and crew for a free meal...as long as it takes filming any scenes. You should see the number of trucks and tons of gear needed to just do a few short scenes...re-takes after re-takes....for less than a few frames of less than a minute of the final edit.

[1MinuteFlipDoc]

@thevalkyrie8 it's a school remember ... everybody gets a chance to participate.  a "real' indie movie would be made with 1/10th the people..

[Kasen717]

This was great! Strong cast and quality.

[DivinePonies]

What's the thing with so low sound levels? And this is not the first video from VFS with that problem. With the setting I have on my PC I can hear very well 99% of videos on YouTube with the sound slider at the middle position. With this video, it's all the way to the end and it's still impossible to hear the words. You got the sound guys over there - use them :)

[uglyHawkling]

"He must imprint himself on the boy, to finally make him...."

The fuck does he say?????

[jFalztar]

Holy crap, the lighting is SO GOOD!

[VideoFletcher]

I always find the costumes and lighting make a film.

[Anamax94]

@VideoFletcher What about the actors?

[Kimippsen]

Im glad to say that i've now been assigned/joined to a Film College in Denmark - alot of the inspiration and motivation to create film come from you!

I thank you

[TheTLTLHeadquarters]

very nice work, love the lighting and acting in this film.

[judebert]

Fantastic detective. Mediocre Hook. Can't wait for the continuation!

[Fomincev]

I don't understand what about it. But i like this actors.

[ElfenLiedd]

i really liked it, great acting!

[aevanb]

:-D ha ha
