Great potential

A review of Anonymous

by Scratchy Dragon on 12/19/2006

I think the idea for this short is really good, but it hasn't been executed that well. I think it's to short and doesn't develop the story. The ending didn't make that much sense either and I was left wondering what had really gone on. But there is great potential here and I really liked the stylised footage at the beginning. I think the whole film could have been produced... read

A review of Just Desserts

by Scratchy Dragon on 08/07/2006

The first thing that comes across with this short film is its high production values. It is very well made and it's good to see this high level of craft. The acting was good which always helps the over all quality of any film, short or feature length. Although I thought the actual story line could have been developed a little bit more. For example we could have been made to... read

A review of UNFINISHED SYMPHONY

by Scratchy Dragon on 08/04/2006

When I first started watching this I thought it was going to pretty boring and an abstract piece that wouldn't make any sense. But by about half way through my interested had picked up and I was starting to figure out how the people related to each other. This is really interesting for there was no dialogue but through the emotions and actions of the man I guessed the child... read

Lunch talk

A review of Lunch.

by Scratchy Dragon on 08/04/2006

This short reminded me a little bit of a scene from a Kevin Smith movie. Not one in particular, just the dialoague is similar. Although not quite up to Kevin Smith's writing in my opinion, this short is reasonably entertaining and a couple of times it did make me laugh. The whole idea could have done with more variation than just the toilet theme to make it more interesting... read

All in all quite good.

A review of The Choir Director

by Scratchy Dragon on 04/26/2006

This short film is interesting because its best parts are the dialogue, but they are broken up by musical scenes that seem to long for the short. At the end I was left wanting more dialogue and felt that the music out weighed it. This would not have been a problem if the short was longer and then the dialogue could of been expanded, which I thougth it really needed. For me... read

All round good work.

A review of Make Believable

by Scratchy Dragon on 08/01/2005

This short film uses the editing well to play with time, inserting flashbacks into the narrative to highlight past events and to show the lies of the main character. It is a well made and interesting short and uses some good narrative techniques in story telling. The fact it was made in 24 hours is quite impressive as well.

Good stuff

A review of The Final Showdown

by Scratchy Dragon on 06/24/2005

I thought this short was really good. It has been well made and pretty well acted. It is impressive the mount of different shots that have used and locations. For nine minutes long it kept my attention through out and didn't lose me once. Although I think the news reel introduction, although setting up the criminal character well, didn't create any emotion towards the characters,... read

A review of TRICK or TREAT!

by Scratchy Dragon on 06/12/2005

This 'short' has been well made, but not only that and more importantly the content is really good. At first I wasn't sure where it was going to go, but it got better as it went along. It was quite scary but there were also elements of mystery in it as well. The two bad characters in it, being the little kid and the policeman were really intriguing and mystery surrounded them... read

A simple, straight forward idea

A review of Coffee Break

by Scratchy Dragon on 05/05/2005

This is nice simple idea, the kind of the thing you might see in a comedy sketch show. I can't say its that original or all that funny, but its been made well and is a good light hearted peice of entertainment. Although I think in the future the makers of this are going to have to come up with some better stuff if they went to have a career in film or TV.

good stuff

A review of Mr.Anything

by Scratchy Dragon on 03/28/2005

I have watched other 'shorts' on triggerstreet at this longer length and have found they have not held my attention. But this one I found pretty entertaining and watched it all the way through without losing concentration. It is well done light hearted entertainment and I think the makers of this 'short' can go on to bigger things.
