Topic: Run For Your Life

I know i dont rly visit here too often but i just finished this film & submitted to sxsw & im really proud about it so watch it if u want
directors cut
sxsw cut (shorter)

Re: Run For Your Life

Let me be the first to say, WE MISS YOU.  Please come and visit more often.

Secondly.  The movie.  I watched the shorter one.  I don't know what SXSW is but I hope you do well.  I think you were trying to be edgy/artsy, but the tops of the heads were really cut off in the first scene.  I know that a character's entire head doesn't have to be seen and it's good to conceal a bit, but it seems too extreme.

I liked the idea of the phantom candidate.  The girl with a mohawk got a bit laughy at the end of the scene where she said "You never even met her".  A bit Seinfeld-y.  Besides these couple of picky anaysis, I really enjoyed this, loved the subtlety of the humor, and hope you keep directing/ producing stuff like this.

Re: Run For Your Life

ooh thanks 4 the comments!! i miss yall too but im pretty busy and i dont really brickfilms much anymore which is mostly why i dont stop by here at all rly :\
anyway yeah!!i guess technically the 1st scene is a medium close up shot but its not gr8 u are right about that especially because the actors are standing at different distances from the camera which is annoying hhah also yeah i noticed that ali started laughing and i cut the shot where i did because after that she actually started laughing which was ok i guess hah i could have reshot it but i didnt want to also because i was trying to do something like this film I made earlier this year where i tried to get the person to laugh on purpose but it didnt work as well.
also sxsw is this huge festival in austin which is a film festival and like technology expo and also a lot of bands play music there and its really fun and last year my bff won a contest there and its fun and maybe if my band gets better.. nah omg but you should get Tinnitis to play at south by its really fun

Re: Run For Your Life

Hey, thanks for the info on SXSW.  It's hard for me to travel any great distance because of my children but maybe one day.  I actually may be doing my 1st show in a year, my friend's Christmas Party, and he wants Tinnitis to play.
