A review of Virtuality

by quise on 09/01/2005

This film looks simply beautiful. The colors, the movement, even the pacing. The film as a whole is still lacking though. There is a drastic disconnect between the Voice Over and the imagery. The whole film plays out like a montage of reflection/revelation in a larger peice. which is fine, so long as there is a larger peice. What bring Ciare to this point of reflection?... read

There where comedic moments

A review of The Incumbent

by quise on 09/01/2005

Interesting film that has potential. The flashy title sequence seems tooo well polished for the rest of the film. The characters seemed lifeless at times (especially on the phone) making it seem as they were reciting lines rather than living the situation. Still there were comedic moments in this film, which could be better highlighted with a reedit as the film should be... read

predictable and boring

A review of Working Overtime

by quise on 07/22/2005

From a production standpoint, this film is watchable and better than expected bing shot all in one night. The pacing of the final edit could have been a little tighter, but nothing major. The events/story however, predictable and boring. Maybe spend an extra day on the script next-time. Fortunately it was only 2min long.

attempts to be a little different

A review of Tell 'em, Elmer

by quise on 07/22/2005

Well, not quite sure what to say about this film. Its attempts to be a little different, which it achieves. No flash, glitz, or glamor. Awkward camera angles, poor sound and the tv effects probably hurts the film in the end. Still its an enjoyable little film. A refreshing perspective that worked in for a 2min film. If it were any longer I don't think I'd walk away with... read

does the doc suggest that immigrants are to blame?

A review of A Victims View

by quise on 06/13/2005

Format is good, nice sound and images, and definately interesting... and I'm from the states. I do have critisims though. At times it felt like a news story that I'd see on american tv, and its very frustrating. Although it was not likley not intended by the filmmakers, the doc implies or suggests that immigrants are to blame. Which for all I know might be the case but it... read

more hype than punch! (pun intended)

A review of Soap On The Ropes

by quise on 06/13/2005

Don't know how I got 2 films from the same filmmakers in a row but I did. Maybe I missed something, but this film was more hype than punch! I guess the film description and notes fits with the humor of the filmmakers, but that humor didn't resinate for me. Maybe its because I'm american. The production value could be much improved... Its all in the lighting. The shot... read

Line: cut, Line: cut

A review of Oranges Ain't The Only Fruit

by quise on 06/13/2005

Not a bad short... The production value could be vastly improved. From an acting standpoint, it seemed decent, but even this could have been helped along with a tighter edit. At times it felt as if the actors were reciting lines... This is part due to the way the film was cut... "Line: cut, Line: cut". I would have like to have seen more intresting angles and camera movements... read

Put aside the immature potty humor...

A review of Buried Treasure

by quise on 06/13/2005

This film doesn't have much to offer... Put aside the immature potty humor that has been over done to the point of exhaution, some people might like that... not me. The film was drawn out way too long... This film should have been less than a minute long. There were a few interesting angles but poor lighting or lack there of, overshadowed them. The music was pretty good... read

Anxiously Waiting

A review of The Snowman

by quise on 05/15/2005

This film starts out on a decent footing, interesting premise with comical characters. However the film dragged on way too long. Nothing of substance really happens, and the audience is left disappointed. The conflict is pretty trivial, which may be what the director intended... but the audience is left questioning the film. It had its moment but this film in no way needed... read

wanting more

A review of Brian Jones

by quise on 05/15/2005

For the restrictions of this assignment, I guess it was ok, but I was expecting more. The end was anti-limatic, especially givin the buildup. On the production side, the image was under-exposed (I'm on a PC) but the sound fx (the whip) were pretty cool.
