Arrested

A review of The Sex Police

by rossjarvis on 06/30/2005

This is a satirical animation of the UK Governments stance on underage sex. The animation is great and suits the theme very well, however the music detracts a little from the overall piece. I also thought you could have made the humour more outrageous than you did. I wont comment on the compression as stated that you had problems in your notes. Overall I liked it, but like... read

Indie extreme

A review of Inside Independent Film

by rossjarvis on 06/01/2005

A bunch of independent filmmakers caught on camera doing their thing or pitching their ideas. Some are a bit eccentric, others are just plain crazy. I think this was supposed to be a comedy, but I didn't really find it amusing. We didn't actually see these people dealing with situations that really do occur on low budget film sets. I think you missed a trick here as so... read

Elmo

A review of Tell 'em, Elmer

by rossjarvis on 05/26/2005

A funny little character piece, lasting a cool two minutes or so. Wannabe musician Elmer languishes in decayed surroundings, composing his tunes. Unfortunately he is continually accompanied by a pack of howling hounds. The acting was very good and Elmer evoked some sympathy from me. Hope you can expand on this in future efforts. .

Funny Stuff

A review of Hunger Pains

by rossjarvis on 05/23/2005

A great little cpmedy.. I really liked the way you made it look like old documentary footage. The sound was humourous and added a lot to the overall feel of the film. The special effects reminded me of Peter Jackson's Bad Taste. I look forward to seeing you next flick. .

Script?

A review of Post It

by rossjarvis on 05/18/2005

Ok, so this is not badly shot and from the looks of the credits you were a one man cast and crew, so well done. But you really need a script to do your filmmaking skills justice. This is neither funny nor clever and I found myself bored, even with a short running time. I suggest you spend some time writing or hook up with a writer for your next project. Good luck pal.

Goth Flick

A review of Pushing Daisies

by rossjarvis on 05/17/2005

I don't want to be overly critical of anyone, especially on their first flick. God knows mine was awful. But the script here really let you down. I don't really get what you were trying to say. The acting was also pretty average, in particular the old couple. It wasn't terribly shot and i appreciate your problems with the sound, I just think the interesting location you... read

Good call

A review of Mist Call

by rossjarvis on 06/03/2004

Visually this was an impressive piece. A very simple idea which didnt really work the first time I saw it, but on a second viewing i got the whole concept. I think the narration was rather off putting and wasnt really in keeping with the paranoia theme. I think an accent other than cockney gangster would have worked better. But overall a smart little short that makes me... read

What more can I say?

A review of Disassociation

by rossjarvis on 05/26/2004

Having read a number of the other reviews, I am struggling to find anything new or positive to say. I do not want to discourage anyone from filmmaking, but I really think the people behind Disassociation should have thought more about this particular effort. Where is your pre-production? You say that you wrote this in one night and then shot it the following day? My question... read

Bygone

A review of Let Bygones Be...

by rossjarvis on 05/20/2004

I dont want to be overly critical of any film as I know how hard it is to get one made. However I really feel that more time should have been taken developing the script. The Camera movement seemed jerky, but i will put this down to the compression. The acting was poor in places and overall unconvincing. I dont think the story was the worst in the world but it was obvious... read

Amusing horror

A review of IN THE MIND

by rossjarvis on 05/20/2004

Not a bad attempt at a horror film although I feel the ending let it down a little bit. Some excellent special effects and an interesting central performance meant i remained interested until the flat ending. Also I think the lighting could have been better, it didnt really create a scary atmosphere.
