    -Deep breath-

    So, I've been working on a script for a little while that is almost done. I've also been working on some early vfx for the film. Principle Photography is set to start around the end of March. Hope to see you guys along for the journey.

    :)


    Here are some stills.

    Cool! I'll be sure to watch it. Did you make a 3d animation or did you use minitaures?

    3D models. I got them from a couple of CG forums. But all the animation and compositing was done by me.

    First off, well done on finishing your film! Always a challenge to even get that far and thanks for your kind words about my work.

    Now, I'm used to the film making forums where it can be pretty harsh. So remember, you asked me for feedback.

    Audio: The audio is pretty poor. You need to use cross fades as you recorded in an echoy room so some of the dialogue is clipped which can get pretty grating. People will forgive lack lustre visuals if the audio is good. So you need to work on that. The music and dialogue were competing for volume which again, makes it hard for the viewer.

    Opening titles: I could see what you were going for. A fair stab. A really good site for getting inspiration for titles as well as tutorials is video copilot.net. Follow his lead and you'll come on leaps and bounds.

    Some of the staging was a little off. When the guys are writing on the black board I couldnt see what they were writing. So when the teacher is losing his temper I'm not sure why. During your fight scenes you kept 'crossing the line' which makes it difficult to watch.
    If you haven't heard of this, check this link out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/180-degree_rule.

    Basically, re-watch your favourite fight scenes/dialogue scenes and figure out why they work, then try and put those techniques into your stuff.

    Fun concept, but was difficult to stick with because of the stuff I listed above.

    Keep going though. :)

    Paul
