YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

You guys kept the acting at a default level. Not bad, but not all that good either. The FX u did was probuably with After effects. I seen some distortion, particular (for the meteor), and whole lot of color correction in there. I loved it!

What sold it for every body I think was the audio. You did such a excellent job with the audio and the camera movements and angles that it allmost seemed professional on a low budget si-fi level. Imagine if u had more time and Action essentials 2.

wow that was excellent for 48 hrs!! Good Job

Great film. I can't believe you managed do all that in 48 hrs. There were issues here and there, but no single aspect was consistently problematic. The acting was off here and there, but mostly amazing. Same with the dialogue. The required elements were all marvelously incorporated. I would never have guessed any of them. I'm guessing it would have been 10 times better with more time to devote.

Fantastic job! I'm going to be participating in a 48hfp this July and I plan to use an HV20 as well. What editing software did you use for post?

I love what you've done considering you only used a Canon HV20 and 30. Impressive.

I don't get it.

This is not bad at all, considering you did it all in 48 hours. I have paid to watch things infinitely worse with less of a story, worse acting and far less enjoyable (the happening, the wicker man, etc). I just got am HG20 and i am hoping to get similar results, Great job.

Really nice, even if the sound is kind of weird, it seem to have been all remade in postprod with the mic stick at 1 inch of their mouth...

I'm just not getting most of these sci-fi plots gosh darn it. The sound stands out. It was done very well. I'm curious as to how exactly. Great job. The color contrast and lighting were awesome as well. Lots of good things about this video.

that sucked,bad acting,i would think u could get better quality out of that kind of camera also

1hill007 3 years ago

it was filmed in 48 hours and youtube destroys quality

this is good, especially since EVERYTHING was done in 2 days.

savingthesquid 3 years ago 2

I concur, good job in 48 hours. Given a longer time scale I'd love to see what you could achieve.

excellent work bro. Im getting the HV20.

Khalid3445 3 years ago

Wow, excellent work.

I'll be passing this on to my friends.

Tell me you won the challenge!

By the way, only a few suggestions - when you show the girl and her boyfriend in the bedroom in the beginning, you stop the sound of the rain for the dialogue - should have kept it going.

I would frame some of your shots just a little bit tighter, too, you have a lot of negative space.

BUT! Lighting, colour, technique, plot, SFX, actors - all amazing.

A+.

You're making us short film makers look good.

what did you edit on..

and did you have any adapters or filters on your hv20?

CreepyClownPro 3 years ago

The girl can act, the rest of the actors are terrible. As far as the plot... i gave it a -D.

is this with the HV20? what camera is that?

vallonierproduction 3 years ago

ok, ummm... first off, really nice and well put together, filming tips. work more to get the best camera angles, it doesn't matter if it has to take you 50 takes, keep being creative, you gotta go for the best. for the color, reduce the brightness a bit, kinda get's annoying, I'd say, make it 50% darker than it is right now.

really good work though. I am going to subscribe to you. subscribe me too.

vallonierproduction 3 years ago

Looks fantastic!

What lens or lenses did you use to shoot?

DeadMansPartyFilms 3 years ago

Excellent! An alien infatuated with a human. You flipped the script! It's usually humans infatuated with aliens.

One thing is the video does seem a bit lackluster...Maybe it's YouTube. Kind of "college-esque." But given the fact u had on 24 hours to shoot it... Balance between wide and tight (shallow depth) is the key I think.

If you shot this on RED it would have rave reviews. Not that HV20 sucks but...

Look´s like a videoclip visual.. more "closes" and more light, more shadows and be a great short movie.

Maybe more fast scenes look´s better too.

The visual of your film not are amateur. I like it.

we just finished the 48 hr film project in my town and after watching this, all I gotta say is wow! someday I hope to learn how to use those kind of effects

liljaha13 3 years ago

I think some audio dialogs were done in POST. I have that feeling as a experienced digital musician. Did you use the Rode all the time when you were shooting?

The brevis looks amazing. Watch out with greyish kind of shots like the clouds. The adapter tends to make it blurry and greyish. Seen it in hunderds of adapters videos here.

way better scifi than the one entered in my town!!

flaminfreckles93 3 years ago

Your film looks great!

It might be one of the best looking films that I have seen for the 48 hour film project. We just finished one for Seattle's 2008 challenge...it was most definitely a great experience. Please tell me that you won some awards!

And HV30 is a really good camocoder, I've just got mine ;)

very well done especially considering you only had two days. Reminds me of something that would be a scifi channel original... but with less crappy special effects
