AFGHANI GOLD

Stop-motion, always an impressive and difficult choice. This is a beautifully made set with some good life between the two (alive) characters. I do like the early shot of the plane flying by the full moon - sets a scene and introduces a fairly tense premise: a whodunnit on a plane! Alas, it's missing the engagement and grit of a good crime film, and fails to keep its location interesting by cutting away. Didn't catch the slow-mo, too bad. Good additional sound.

I'm always a fan of claymation, but every time I see the medium in 48 Hours, it always seems unfinished, not surprising considering the time frame. This film followed a pair of military men on a plane arguing over who killed the dead man they found under their seats. There are a few great lines sprinkled through an otherwise awkward storyline. The use of prop was quite good, and despite the fact that it was similar to a film they previously made, it came together and stood on its own. The lip-synch was fantastic, and the team stuck to it through the whole film. After the screening, a few people mentioned the reference to the two characters being alone on the plane, an obvious omission of the pilot. It created a plot hole that most of us assumed would be wrapped up in an ending that never quite got there. That being said, congratulations on claymation in 48 hours, great job.
