Stations Apart
Lovely shot musical, much in the style of "Once". Great acting and singing perfomances from the cast. I thought the story could have been a little more clearly told, as the motives of the bully/ex bully character were hard to discern and I was confused over whether she was being nice or nasty. And perhaps a little tightening in the edit would have improved the flow. Overall a gem however and a real shame it wasn't in the running as I would have loved to voted for it.
The Kids Next Door
I thought this team had a really great idea behind their film and a fresh take on the revenge genre. For the most part it was shot well and showcased a really nice performance from the neighbour character. I think a much tighter edit would have made a huge improvent to the finished product, especially if it cut out some of the student flatmates banter, which felt unscripted and didn't add anything to the film. Overall, a very solid entry and went down well with the audience.
Confessions of a Killer
I always enjoy how the Spooceman completely mixes it up and gives us something fresh each year. With this year's solo entry he went with an illustrated graphic novel type approach. Great mood and atmosphere, fantastic illustration skills. I did get a teeny bit lost at the twist at the end with who was who, but then again I also forgot where I parked the car.
Infinite Body Confidence
My favourite from heat 8, I really enjoyed the approach this team took with Body Swapping and there was a beautiful little twist at the end. I think perhaps it could have been tightened up a bit in the edit, but overall excellent with some great work from the cast.
CornChip
A real crowdpleaser... nicely shot and edited and genuinely funny, I'm not sure how well the ex-bully trait was incorporated and in my opinion the team did a small sidestep with the genre and ended up with more of a crime/mystery than a quest. However one of the best in the heat, and highly entertaining.
