Calling John

A cyborg, is interviewed about the way he changed his life around by gaining the one thing he wanted most - emotions. Banana Pie are in their fifth year of entering 48HRS and have matured in their film-making to produce probably their best short in all their years of competing. Technically it was pretty good, with (less ambitious than in the past) camera shots and movement being handled well. Apart from a couple of loud moments, the sound was good too. Sam Prime did a great job in the lead role successfully negotiating a shift in his characters personality. Some funny scenes in this, especially the washing machine love scene which was well-received by the audience. Also, some pretty good use of the software to grade and produce graphical displays such as a very quick HUD. I wrote down that it felt a bit long but I'd have to see it again to justify that comment! Great to see you producing original music too. Well done, Banana Pie - you've done me proud!

Nice intro (music/gimmick). Opening interview could have been nice to see the interviewer, but very well lit and clear audio. Very nice composition on the cropped shots. Good music in this section, too. Very cool shot with the blue eyes and loved the BSOD. Loved the scene with the washer. Hilarious. Cool style in the petrol drinking scene. Cool POV scene, nice graphic of "John". Cool way of showing of Vic as an Android without hitting the audience over the head with it. Nice use of the prop, too. Loved the closing "confidence" scene and the way it ended. Very nice overall.
