Ah, well, I was going to post this up with one of my *shudders* dreaded trailers, but haven't got around to uploaded this particular dreaded trailer so I'll just show you this which I've literally just finished. It's basically a little experiment thing going on with different angles plus using my new external mic / boom thing which I made!

! Please do comment, tell me what you think, apart from the fact that there is absoloutely NO PLOT!!!

P.S. After filming I noticed in a couple of the shots the filming jumps around, skips frames etc., you may notice this, this is all from the incident with the under-water filming / swimming pool fiasco (

) so please forgive me, however, the bit where it jumps around to start with is intential, when he is wacking away.

Hope I haven't missed anything and that wasn't too much cr**, OK here it is...

Yay for Me!

That's right bow down and be humble *smiles evilly to self* anyway. OK in an est. 4 hrs 19 mins you can see film (according to computer) I reckon it'll be close than that.... possibly.

Watch!! It's been several seconds since I last checked.

i watched it, god like a tip for the fututre dont put rock music and credits that are 1/3 the film length. Your saying its an experiment but what the hell were you experimenting with, it was just some kid going down a stairs and making sex moans , i thought it was a start of some film when i heard a piece of music but then it just cut to rock music . Try and make an actual film next time or short with some storyline because nobody is interested in just someone walking around their house for 4 mins

or any point for that matter

mickar that is SO helpfull, you know, oh you're not interested, I shouldn't have made the film then, should I? OK I take your point on the credits. And maybe I will make it into a full length film. But if you read what I put I was testing the external mic as well as varying angles. Wierd horror with awfull acting aren't all to life. !!!. And yes I think you will find people ARE interested in these things, countless forums have similar things, how about Rhys's Punchbag Boy? Or maybe that one with the sundecks and stuff. I could give you more.

And now you're going to shout at me and say 'oh, you REALLY can't take critisim' but that wasn't critisim. Read what I wrote, next time. Urgh!

that was criticism..ere man ya cant take criticism an wen u watch someone elses master work ''REGENERATION'' you turn the breakfast roll an throw criticism back!

Mickar's first sentance may well be true, but the last two are just stupid. Challenger I know you're loyal to Mickar so I'm not going to bother arguing. Mickar has you under control.

challengerbravo525 · Post by **challengerbravo525** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 7:17 pm

quite the opposite..i work independantly.....tho i respect mickcar...u do however take out the livin p*** out of his promo's...since day 1 of ur summer membership

mickcar73 · Post by **mickcar73** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 7:18 pm

whats your problem jperson , i meant that if its a test it cud be for special effects or somthing not a microphone that has no sound coming its way anyhow, just make a full film. And seriously everytime i post somthing you reply in a childish manor by tying something like " oh well ye...... your films.. are uh.. gay.." great one kid. And plus you seem only to react in such a way to me, someone like lebotomizer just said 'or no point at all' and you rant at me for trying to give an opinion...........hmmmmmmm

Jperson · Post by **Jperson** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 8:41 pm

I knew you would say that: I'm not going to even get into an argument with you. That's just a waste of time.

film fanatic · Post by **film fanatic** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 9:49 pm

I'm sorry, but I have to say that I found that tedious. The sound was bad, and you didn't bother to use a tripod. Also - nothing happened!

Jperson · Post by **Jperson** » Thu Oct 19, 2006 9:52 pm

Nothing was meant to happen really, I was, as I said, testing two elements. But you thought the sound was good? Interesting it must be the low quality that I had to put the film in.

Experimental...hmm, yes indeed...Well, it's great that you are experimenting, but if so, it should stay an experiment. Observe your experiments and then apply them. It is very apparent that this WAS your experiment, in itself.

If this was a test for your external mic, I suggest one of three things: 1. Don't use it, because it didn't help. 2. Learn how to use it effectively. or 3. Get a better one, there was too much excess fuzz.

Please do not forget, that a main purpose for a film, is to act as a form of entertainment for the audience that is viewing it. This video, however, was not entertaining. Short films are short, yes, but, they also have substance, a plot, character interactions, something that drives the film. Freelancing is not often a term used in film making. Just keep this stuff in mind.

For the sake of your audience, improve upon your quality. There will always be critics, both positive and negative. However, the percentages of each will vary on the quality of your production.

Mickcar73..It's also great that you're taking the time to criticize his work. Even though you didn't enjoy his film, atleast have some respect for him, as someone who shares the same hobby of film making.

See that is a propper critisim post!

OK let me see, first excess fix on the mic? Maybe that was when we switiched to the camera mic (during the bit where he drank from the cup) but yeah I will improve on using it. It's vey high wuality by the way, especially compared to the camera mic we had been using, but because I had to film and do the sound we couldn't get the best result. That's probably why it was shaky.

And I know films are meant to entertain but this wasn't a full, propper film. I wanted people to comment, not on the storyline, but other issues.

Also I've been thinking and maybe I'll turn this into a propper medium / short film. I was thinking that, so maybe I will.
