A review of Can't See Me

by Scramby on 04/27/2010

Psychological pictures are some of the easiest to shoot on a minimal budget. They require little more then some funny camera angles, funky music, and a little editing to make people/things disappear to make them work, but, the payoff is whether or not the message comes through clear enough to reach its target audience, or, does it end up soliciting a bunch of "What did I just... read

Drawn out

A review of L'Omlette

by Scramby on 03/30/2006

Was the french accents real, or just put on by the actors? If they we're real, I apologize, because they seemed fake and somewhat forced, and I don't think they helped the dramaticness (is that even a word?) of the film. I think the acting seemed a little off for some reason. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it didn't seem natural. The camera work was fine, and the... read

LOL

A review of Janie and Bear

by Scramby on 03/30/2006

Short and too the point, I like that. I don't think I could have taken too much of the narrator's voice any longer. The funny thing is, the original little girl doing the narration would have made a much creepier narrator. I got a good laugh out of this little film, specifically when the little girl was clobbered with the ABC block. Good work.

Music Video

A review of This Moment

by Scramby on 03/30/2006

This type if film is often referred to as a music video. The only differences is, this was done using a "spoken word" style rather then singing. I liked the video footage, the different cuts and the editing style, but disappointed someone would pass this off as a film rather then a music video. Maybe it's just me. Overall, I still liked this "film", everything in it technically... read

One redeeming thing..

A review of The Tree

by Scramby on 03/30/2006

I'm jaded when it comes to animations, almost as much as I am when it comes to musicals. So I must admit, I came into this assignment a bit prejudice. I didn't like how the actual dialogue was substituted for "noises", when I think it would have been just as effective to use real people. I was also a little disappointed in the silliness surrounding the shotgun round, which... read

Hit a nerve

A review of Foot in the Door

by Scramby on 03/30/2006

The funny thing is, I'm actually between jobs right now, so, this entire film kinda hit home a little too much. Sometimes, it feels, no matter how hard you try, you just can't seem to land a job, or one worth landing anyways. I think the editing and filming of this film were done pretty well. The story was solid, but, unconvincing for the most part. The humor just wasn't... read

Not quite sure on story

A review of 1-900-TIFFANY

by Scramby on 03/26/2006

Film viewed just fine, and I liked the opening sequence, reminds me the one I use for my films. Usually, even silent films, have ambient music. Back when films were first made, they actually used live orchrestra's to provide the music, giving it's needed contrast. Viewing this completely silent was rather painful, but, I suppose that it was necessary for your project. I... read

Different

A review of We Want You

by Scramby on 03/26/2006

I have a feeling, setting up the blue/green screen and the set and making the puppets probably too more time then it did to actually film and edit this. One thing I would highly suggest, is really try to pay attention to details. Critics will tear everything you do apart, so, try to give them the least amount of ammunition you can. I say this, because, in your "FBI WARNING"... read

Needs better build-up

A review of Closet Fears

by Scramby on 03/26/2006

There is a lot of potential from this filmmaker, but, this specific film needs a lot of refinement. Suspense films have a tendency to rely fairly heavily on music and sound effects to effectively build up the suspension or tension, especially in a scene where someone confronts the villan, however, this film had very little or no build up whatsoever. It was hard to feel frightened... read

Bold

A review of Color Me Blind

by Scramby on 03/19/2006

I have to say, anytime a filmmaker focuses a film on a difficult subject, such as racism, is always a bold choice, especially one that is comedy based. You never know if you're coming off correctly or non-offensively as you originally planned. The only real technical thing that bothered me, was the cuts between the group sessions and the interviews, and really, only the parts... read
