The quest for redemption of young robert young
So first I have to say that I think making a serious, moody short, is a hard, hard thing to do. You guys really set a very sombre and reflective tone early on, and I really connected with the main character. I also was well impressed with the camera work. As others have said though, I felt the story's ending to be a bit soft. But technically, great, and the story was nine tenths of the way there.
Dark Side
There was some really great composition and excellent camera control displayed throughout this film. I shoot on a DSLR, and certainly recognised the skill required for some excellent, precise follow focus work. But I have to agree with others that the extreme low DOF used in almost every shot was a little overused, which became distracting. But polished it was, and a good story to boot.
I'm Actually There
I loved this film! I think the invisible superhero concept would have got tiring pretty fast in anything longer, but for a short it worked great. Adding to that some nice camera work, and lovely shots of a misty Wellington harbour, and you managed to effectively hold our interest without an actor in sight. Could there have been a few tweaks (like some foley for the best fight scene that wasn't ;) sure, but in two days?! This was very cool, and I'd watch it again any time!
Hot Knights: The Bob, Rob Medieval Bod Swap
I was frankly p!ss!ng myself laughing pretty much the whole way through this:) It was funny, the story was pretty good, pace was great, and there were some hilarious gags. On top of that I thought that the technical execution was good with quality camera work, and even some well placed CGI. I loved it, and I can't wait to watch it again when it goes up on the site!
