Re: My friends and i made a movie. Called Greed.

See I can do it too, but it doesn't really get the message across, douchebag.

Referring to "I <3 Yoshi" thread, of course.

You, for some unknown reason, are pissed off at Tokzic, but not Afrobean, even though they are both giving you constructive criticism. It just doesn't make sense to me.

I'm going to put up a preview for our new movie tomorrow. It's only going to be up for that day so watch it ASAP.

Re: My friends and i made a movie. Called Greed.

Hey, should I put up the Ultra Wars movie up tomorrow for a short preview? I'll only put it up for a day

... Maybe. You could edit the hell out of it so it's like a commercial, unless that would take too long, just a thought, do what you gotta do.

Because I don't get pissed off at constructive criticism!! I get along with Afrobean, where Tokzic just never really got what we were trying to say, that's what pissed me off, as demonstrated.

way to completely lose artistic credibility lmfao

He didn't seem too helpful at this point.

I'm just putting it up as it is. It's going to look different when they see the completed movie anyways

Alright, it's technically your movie anyway so go ahead, It's cool with me.

EDIT: I've edited most of my previous comments rewording or deleting certain sections to better explain my attitude at each of those points in time, hopefully.

UBER EDIT: Read the reasons for editing, they are quite absurd.

I wonder how many views the movie could get in one day

You probably won't get the story line becuase the intro hasn't been made yet but here anyways

Re: My friends and i made a movie. Called Greed.

Plot looks like a whole ton of ludicrous combined with a touch of random crap. I'm not a fan of this, but I guess that's what you were going for. Not bad here I suppose.

Cuts were much much better here. A few areas would have been better with a more steady shot, but that's not a major issue considering the source/topic.

The acting seemed a bit lacking, but the action was nice. And as always, fighting pictures never have a very major focus on the acting. Not a big deal.

The only other problems I can see would be basically impossible to overcome using the equipment you are. Things like the opening there where everything is washed out.

ps one thing that might be worth looking into if your camera man isn't familiar with it: rule of thirds. More than a few shots seemed to follow fairly well, but others still seemed to try to put things in the center.

pps continuity error it looks like... he puts down the case then later puts it down again. Be careful when working with props. Looks like you guys might have storyboarded this... be sure and follow the plan for shots as well as possible or simply assign someone the duty of trying to ensure props remain constant throughout. I'd never make a big deal about continuity errors about hair or clothing position, but errors of characters directly interacting with props can be very distracting. Also, an unrelated issue: immediately after he puts down the case the second time, there is a weird cut. Is that two shots spliced together? Is there any way you can cut to a reaction shot in between to help them flow better or something? Even cutting it a few frames earlier might be enough to get by since the person runs right in front of the camera and takes up most of the frame (in other words, you could use the character himself to disguise the cut). You could even cut it closely then do a fade between and it might look a bit better. I'm not entirely sure and I wouldn't be able to be 100% unless I had the two original shots right in front of me.

EDIT: ok one more thing: when the new guy shows up at the suitcase, you should establish that he's there before the one guy yells off camera at him.

Re: My friends and i made a movie. Called Greed.

It's hard to act with that Golem voice, so I plan on doing some of Dr. Retard's alter-ego acting again. We're all the camera man and, in my shots specifically, applied that kind of logic to the scenery but I guess the people just landed in the middle of the shot and threw off the pretty background. Great analysis, and sorry for the random plot, that's just kinda how we roll l,,l

EDIT: Did you at least find it funny/amusing/entertaining, and how was the poll humping?

Hey don't stress out, we haven't even made the beggining yet, it will explain alot of the corny/funny storyline, hell it's not even finished. If you watch a movie called Sockbaby, you'll kinda see what we're going for. I like Ultra's acting, I thought he's perfect for the over the top hero....I'm still trying to get into the Irish acecent but it's pretty damn hard (I'm the new guy who shows up for the suitcase) and Dingleberry's voice was funny but yeah we could reshoot it, I'm hoping he'll do the high pitch gangster voice but it's hard not to laugh at that, but it's whatever he wants.

Re: My friends and i made a movie. Called Greed.

Oh about that suitcase part, Ultra was holding it again to protect it from anyone else and I didn't notice the jump it made to the next scene. Next time we film you'll see an improvment, thinks for the advice

Re: My friends and i made a movie. Called Greed.

Why did you guys release a portion of a film that isn't finished? I'm all for sneak peeks, but it seemed to be a pretty good chunk of the movie.

It's what we filmed so far, we're going to film a lot more

It's going to be a lot longer than you think, and that's only the first movie. We're going to make more than one episode and each one will be just short of ten minutes.
