here's another one! uploaded trailer that is

well, i've enjoyed all the stuff i have seen so far...including "wager". i think because i'm not a film maker i can still watch as a "punter" and not a critic. saying that [img]wink.gif[/img] my only comment is that your influences are pretty obvious. in my experience as a musician, the best way to succeed is to offer something new.

who does your music by the way?...if it is off the shelf then i guess you must edit to the score.

i reckon with all the money you make from your DVD you might be able to afford a composer....did i say i just live down the road? [img]wink.gif[/img]

I think that it is a teaser insomuch as it does generate interest amongst a certain demigraphic (which does not include me).

However, I think you should go the extra mile and re-shoot the gun so that it is level, or rotate the frame and cheat it level.

I have no idea how bullets actually travel, but it was disconcerting that your bullet's nose is dipped down, yet it travels parallel across the frame ...

B-

its probably something i wouldnt of noticed unless it was mentioned but since it has been mentioned... the fact the bullet travels at competely the wrong angle out of the gun looks very stupid.

seriously check out frame by frame. the bullet exits at exactly the right angle.

Sorry, but, it may (and that's 'may') exit at the right angle but the gun is pointing down to the right but the bullet travels exactly horizontal to the frame - defying the laws of physics.

AND while the bullet is travelling exactly horizontal to the frame it's nose is pointing downwards - this also defies the laws of physics.

That's how it looks to me anyway...

I actually havent watched the short, or exercise, or skit, or whatever its called. The computer I'm on cant do video right now. But I can't say I'm dying to see it. Stylized violence for the sake of stylized violence does nothing for me. Maybe when I was a teenager....but not these days. Added to the majority of the negative reaction its geting from this forum.

However, it does seem to be gettng much attention and scrutiny. So, I dont know, I guess you've got an audience.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Post any of your work at this place and it will surely be ripped apart. But it's good practice. I'd rather get some feedback with a little passion than no feedback and a vacant shrug.

I don't have a version prepared for the web (though I could do it)

I do have a 150MB MPEG1 file of it I could stick up somewhere if you have the patience to download it.

Or, since I notice you are UK based, if you email me an address I can mail you a copy of the DVD.

Nice one. I've got broadband if you don't mind putting it up on a server or something. Shouldn't take me too long to download.

I quite liked that 60 second version of your film you put up, Miker. Is there anywhere we can see the full version, other than the eXposure Shorts dvd?
