  Very ElmerLangish - but that's a good thing!
  A review of Under the Bridge
  by SeaMowse on 12/02/2007
  Yes... indeed it is, since I'm a fan of Mr. Lang's. This was a wonderful short. I loved the way you tied even trivial bits of information into your story. Bravo! Camerawork: - Well done. Your shots looked very composed and framed edited nicely. The stock footage used worked well and fit in smoothly with the other edits. Audio/Music - I enjoyed the background music....

  Audio/Music - I enjoyed the background music. I like the quality of your speaking voice, but I do believe it needs to be stronger or more consistent in volume. At times, I found myself having to strain a bit, to hear what you were narrarating. Regardless, I was able to fully appreciate the short.
  
  All in all - this is a great short that managed to capture facts and pieces of history in a unique way. You and Elmer need to meet and bring TriggerStreet to its feet. Best of luck! read

  In the middle of a story?
  A review of Replaced
  by SeaMowse on 11/30/2007
  This short came off as being just a segment of a story. Somewhere in the middle, perhaps. I have no clue as to how the 'victim' ended up being kidnapped, and who his 'replacement' was (i read the credits). I'm sorry to say that doesn't appear to be a complete film, or maybe I'm just missing something? Anyways... on to the review. Camerawork: Nicely done. The colors were...

  Camerawork: Nicely done. The colors were crisp, and although at times the lighting seemed a bit too harsh and unrealistic, given the fact that our main character was in the process of of a torture/interrogation - well, the lighting worked well. Shots looked framed nicely. Editing was quick.
  
  Audio/Music: I enjoyed the suspense music!
  
  Acting: The acting was just okay for me. Seemed a bit rehearsed and forced.
  
  All in all, this short left me feeling unsatisfied. It was nicely filmed, but left me confused. read

  Taking time out to escape the Rat Race
  A review of RUN
  by SeaMowse on 08/06/2007
  Nicely done short. I think at one time or another all of us have wanted to run from their jobs, and never look back. Camerawork: I thought the camerawork was done extremely well. The lighting and colorbalancing remained consistent, in both the indoor and outdoor shots. However, some of the greenscreen shots, the character was not entirely matched, as far as lighting and...

  Camerawork: I thought the camerawork was done extremely well. The lighting and colorbalancing remained consistent, in both the indoor and outdoor shots. However, some of the greenscreen shots, the character was not entirely matched, as far as lighting and colorbalancing goes - BUT, you did an excellent job at casting shadows on the character as he ran underneath overpasses, etc. Your edits were extremely well done as was your detail to composition and framing. The edits at the beach were quite nice, as was the faraway shot of the main character from upon the hill. Your glidecam shots were also quite nice.
  
  Audio/Music: I really enjoyed the audio. The continuous sound of the clock, then the slowing down of the clock ticking, as well as the other use of slow-motion in the audio - I enjoyed it.
  
  Acting: Although our main character had no lines, he conveyed his emotion quite well, through his facial expression, and body language.
  
  All the way around, this was a well done short. I'm adding it to my list of favorites in this season's festival. Best of luck. read
