Well firstly your name, I don't think it sets a good example to the kids and your use of pictures for your presentation was lacking in composition. haha...

Seriously thank you for putting this together, not only have you inspired me through the professional network you have created but you have also helped me to develop a constructively critical eye towards the work that is out there. Its lovely to know how hungry people all over the world are for stories, perceptions and the magic of film making. I hope that you continue to be inspired by the world and that you continue share that with all of us here at Trigger Street.
Thank you, "one day" is a lovely, simple and emotive piece. Any one who has traveled will be able to relate and you managed to capture the aching need to want more from the experience but the knowledge that the perfection of the moment is really all it needs to be. Very nice, great performances that are believable and touching. Editing was well paced and smooth, kept me in...Thank you, "one day" is a lovely, simple and emotive piece.

Nicely done. I like the treatment used of high contrast lighting. The composition of the shots were good and the pace of the editing was also good. The father was a decent actor.
I didn't like the fact that the tone felt very flat, there was no real contrast in the performance, when the father finds out that he's being judged by his sons it didn't take a different direction...Nicely done.

The sons were not very good actors, I didn't believe their performance and the dialogue didn't offer any tension to the obviously awkward situation.
Thanks for the review of You Deplete Me. It's true, this was the first short I edited (and filmed) after nearly a 2 year break from Graduating from University, so I was rusty in this respect. Although one thing I must point out - and no seems to get this about You Deplete Me - is that this short is not about a letter to an ex, following a break up. The twist is that the protagonist is an alcoholic, shown by the sudden reveal of empty bottles towards the end, and is warring with his own addiction, being at a crossroads as to whether to sink further or break from the addiction. At the time I thought the sudden introduction of empty bottles and the way the actor actually addresses them was clear, oh well! I thought originally that people perhaps were being kind and not revealing the twist in their reviews but, perhaps I was wrong.

This is a music video. I like the music and it is very professionally made. Really good editing and all round it was nice to watch. I didn't really get what you were trying to communicate about the characters other then this story was about love. But generally this was a good piece, nice.
Nice! This was really awesome to watch, a simple concept with a great shooting style, great editing and wonderful sound design, I was entertained through the whole thing. Your timing between cuts was spot on and the tone maintained throughout the piece. I really can't give you any negative criticism. Thanks it was lekker!
An interesting slice of life, with a bluesy tone. Entertaining? I can't say I'm feeling it, this is the second time I've watched an Elmer Lang clip and I must say its not my style. Not that everything needs to have a point I just don't feel entertained by this piece and that may be my own problem; a need to be entertained. I also like things to have a crafted feel, bad keying...An interesting slice of life, with a bluesy tone. Entertaining?

I also like things to have a crafted feel, bad keying and editing distracts me and this production has both. A interesting slice of life but I felt like I was watching a poet on stage who is over dramatic.read
I like the concept and the story was narratively sound, however with a crew the size that it was it lacked in composition, lighting and grading. The audio was also very poor. I think the actors were good but with stronger editing and composition I think you would have seen it even more. It was definitely something I would have wathed to the end to see what happened I just think...I like the concept and the story was narratively sound, however with a crew the size that it was it lacked in composition, lighting and grading.

You had me in the introduction, I was with you with homeless guy an your recollection of his voice. You started to loose me when your character started speaking directly to camera, i didn't believe his sincerity anymore. This was partly due to editing and partly to overacting. I lost what you were saying and was taking more note of how the actor was performing.

I lost what you were saying and was taking more note of how the actor was performing. I would have liked to have seen this purely as voice over with the actor reacting to the ideas the voice over speaks about. Thanks.read
I like the script and the performance was 90% of the way there. Two things detracted from the performance for me; The editing was jarring on some occasions when you cut from the main narrative, there were one or two shots that were too long to be a flash shot and to short to be a proper cut away. Also I feel the character didn't go anywhere, he was bitter and angry in the beginning...I like the script and the performance was 90% of the way there.

Also I feel the character didn't go anywhere, he was bitter and angry in the beginning and that's exactly where he ended up. I would have liked to have seen some of the love that was inside of him because the relationship not just the pain. The sound could have been clearer but wasn't too much of a problem. Generally I got the idea of what you were trying to communicate without reading your blurb. Thank you.read
I hate to be negative when reviewing however this piece for me was neither entertaining nor educational. I am sorry if I am being harsh but I have no desire to watch a piece about someones opinion when I have no invested interest in the person. Why should I be a listener? There was nothing in this piece that changed me.
