	TFN and Scott Zeir are proud to present Reciprocity... "After the end of the Clone Wars… The Inquisitors, created by the Senate, hunt the galaxy during the great purge of the Jedi. Bound by duty, yet controlled and manipulated by the Sith, they are efficient and expendable. One such Inquisitor, Soontar, struggles with his own morality and that of his partners after several seemingly unnecessary terminations are ordered. Inquisitor trainer and current Sith Apprentice, Darth Rann, is sent to investigate the pair."

	saw the trailer, amazing! overall, it looks promising. there are some things that haven't been seen in other fan films. look forward to this one. plus, i liked the long trailer. not you average short ones. EDIT: well, i wrote the above rather quicky since i'm about to leave for a bit. but it seems that i have a little more time. what more can i say about the trailer? the CG is impressive. the models look rather well done. this composited with the live action (for the most part) is outstanding. from the trailer, the acting seems to be good. bah, it feels like i'm writing a review for the film already. i'll wait until it's released -----signature----- "The only way to measure intelligence is to stare at the sun." - Golden Y http://goldeny.com/

	Looked pretty good. Liked the sequence with the girl being raised up by the lightning, and the saber being recalled to the guys hand, looked good. -----signature----- "How am I gonna get a girl? I drive around in a garbage truck!" - Hellboy Me in a film: http://copperraven.com/movies/ahoweb.wmv

	Wow, I was very impressed. Some very breathtaking images in there (like the lightning levitation thing mentioned above). Also love the music! I'm looking forward to seeing this one! -----signature----- I am not RC Collins, but I wish I were.

	I have a feeling this film is going to be very good. The music was very moving. The long form trailer is an interesting choice, and i thinka good one. It really gave an indication of a good character driven story. I'm looking forward to this one. And I quite liked the guy jumping off the tree! Awesome! -tm -----signature----- http://www.tumblemonster.com http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1984394/ http://www.youtube.com/tumblemonster http://twitter.com/tumblemonster

	Hey, more hottie Star Wars chicks! -----signature----- Yes. And trust me, I'm only speaking as an audience member. I couldn't shoot a film half as good as any of the films seen here. But as a member of their future ticket-buying audience, I'm the one that they have to impress. - Dillydally

	Looked really good. Great effects. Good acting. Original plotline. But one thing, for those posting how good the music was...it was just from AOTC.

	To me it doesn't matter where the music comes from, but how effectively it is used. -tm -----signature----- http://www.tumblemonster.com http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1984394/ http://www.youtube.com/tumblemonster http://twitter.com/tumblemonster

	looks like it's gonna be very good, the saber fighting seems to be excellent, and unlike "most" films it seems to have some good dialogue and story in it -----signature----- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompentant..." - Hari Seldon Acketon Studios http://www.acketon.com Star Wars: Dark Frontier

	I'd like to second that the AOTC music was well-implemented. I predict we'll be seeing a lot more of it in the future. -----signature----- Kurt Luther TheForce.Net FanFilms http://www.theforce.net/fanfilms/

	Personally I thought the film could use some color correction. The CG shots, even given the time of day implied, LOOK very different than the other shots. They're darker and the color palette is much different. Perhaps you could also add a little video noise to the CG elements to make it less stationary. It LOOKED like a matte. The matte edges could also stand some feathering. I don't know how far along you guys are in post but if you could do this and match the elements a little closer you'd get a major benefit from it, I think, as realism is concerned. PixelMagic, where's your bluescreen element color matching tut? For matching them to their environments and simulating ambient light it would help immensely, I think. Saber effects in LIA+? I REALLY liked the last bit of saber business, the grab from the air, ignite and attack. Very cool. M.

	[EDIT] Now that the post is gone, I'll look like an idiot if I don't remove my response. Anyhoo, I see great promise in the trailer, but I agree that some of the footage really doesn't match the surrounding shots. It may be the color correction isn't done yet, or it may be that non-linear approach of trailer making. Either way, I hope it's smoothed out in the final product. I never get over that weird feeling of seeing very Earth-like environs in a SW fanfilm. Some pull it off well, others...well, don't. -----signature----- ...I know how to spell Wookiee.

	Heh, he registered just to say that. I wonder if it was hard with only one hand . . . But, since I'm posting, I might as well take a crack at the trailer: First, I'll agree that the film has promise. Second, I would agree to a far smaller degree with jackass here, though, that there were things that were somewhat glaring that it seems most other posters thus far have ignored. If we're going to give critiques and such, we should point out both good and bad, not just gush over the good. So . . . Premise: The premise looks interesting. There has yet to be a fan film that I can recall that dealt with the Inquisitors, and it'll be interesting to see how or if the Official Continuity's Inquisitors, like Tremayne, will appear. It would be important for the uninformed, though, to remember that while the idea of using Inquisitors in a fan film is so far unique, the Inquisitors themselves are a pre-existing concept. CG: The CG looks very nice. I'd rank what I saw up there with Broken Allegiance. By that, I don't mean it's perfect; it still has that cartoony quality at times. But for a fan film, it seems to be excellent thus far. Dueling: Sometimes appears very well done, sometimes seems rather lackluster. The early shots of the gent fighting the lady . . . Looked like standard blah fare. The later shots near the end with the reverse grip fighting looked more believable and exciting. Other: The flinging lightsaber shot (1:43) is inventive, though hard to see. I'm curious as to how that managed to get through TFN's censorship, given that similar ideas were bandied about a while back and were vehemently denied applicability to hosted projects. Then again, before this week, we hadn't seen a plethora of decapitations in the SW films either . . . The Highlander Effect: Looks good. I honestly hope there's a story reason for it. Acting: Again, hit or miss. It depends upon the line. But then again, I didn't expecially like some of the early Anakin lines in AOTC until I saw the remainder of the film and got a better idea of where Hayden was coming from on the early scene acting. So, we should reserve judgement. So . . . It looks interesting, and for now it looks like the stronger points will outweigh the weaker ones. I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out. -----signature----- --Nathan Butler The Star Wars Timeline Gold Second Strike & Anthology (Audio Dramas) ChronoRadio (SW Continuity Talk Radio) http://www.starwarz.com/timeline
