would you love me any other way?

teaser

not. funny. your friend runs like a girl.

If you had no morals he would have ran out there and ate the sliced up rabbit

Heh, my girlfriend drives that same Saturn. Larger vehicles running over it would have made it soo much more funny..... oh, and a parade trample!

I see you've repaired your poor, poor Yoda.

Oh man that accent was scary.

Nice

Haha.

It's still not funny after a few months of not seeing it. Well I suppose the lawn-mower was almost getting there.

mildly amusing.

I would have liked it more if I wasn't hearing NO!! NO!!111 Nooooo!!!11112one the whole time. I did, however, enjoy watching the rabbit being mutilated.

Wasn't there a movie some time ago that you and your pals made with this exact same sequence happening? I remember some kid named Jory, and it was a whole lot funnier than this one.

we're re-filming our spoof, The Matricks, for a film festival.

hrm, zell.. the majority of people(like 14 out of 15 the only one being jory (because im not letting him be neo)) who ive shown think this ones much better, though.

veggiemaster, how is he supposed to act? like he's reading a book? he was told to find the white rabbit and he just watched it get hit by a car and torn to bits by a snowblower.

He wasn't very passionate about his screaming. He should scream HARDER. WRAA. :p

lies, you have no need of a snow thrower down there

This is the sort of stuff that would be a hit on gbsTV. But. Seriously. What the hell?

Did you ever finish stabbin' cabin?

You killed the bunny. :/

a very short clip from the oracle scene.

space bandit, we're making it after we do a zombie movie this summer. it's going to be the sequel to the zombie movie.

This made me laugh like a drunk schoolgirl, therefore it gets my seal of approval.

I love how it didn't break on the 1st impact..... LAG! Very Matricksy. Convince everyone that was a special effect.

I liked that. Now in that case the acting was spot-on!

probably my favorite scene to film so far.

(yes, that slap is completely 100% real, and insanely hard. he told me he wanted me to do it for real, and so i gave it to him. after he said his line during that take, i couldnt remember my line because i was so shocked that i hit him that hard)

See, now that's funnier.

Ouch. I winced at the slap. I could actually see the redness on his face (I think. It may have been the reflection of the rope).

That was quite funny, but it could have been oh so much better. What made it funny? A clever script idea and a couple of fairly well placed lines. Otherwise, it was mediocre. I'll just outline a few things that bothered me (and some good things as well, cuz I like balance, and it was quite funny):

___________________________
Cons:

1) Sound - I could barely hear you, I had to crank up the volume on my speakers quite a bit, and the sound was grainy. You guys really need to speak up when you say your lines, project a bit more, and maybe choose a better quality tape for recording.

2) Acting - quite good in places (I'll touch on that more later) but overall not outstanding. Admittedly, it's comedy and so acting is of less priority than serious drama, but it still needs some substance. Again, you need to project more. Secondly, you need much more expression in your voice. When you were "interrogating" your friend, it was almost completely lifeless. I really didn't believe for a second that anyone was in danger. The key to comedic gold with this scene is making it look dreadfully serious and scary right up until you push the button on the boom box. It will make the scene so much funnier if you can do this.

3) Cinematography - not bad at all, again, not much opportunity for outstanding stuff in a scene like this, but it still could have been better. More variation in camera angles, perhaps more shots. Again, not bad, just could be better.

Pros:

1) The slap was really good. Awesome in fact. But you need more serious stuff like that to bring out the hilarity of the comedy when it appears.

2) The music was mixed in very well. I loved how the guard was jamming to it as he walked off.

3) The Cazor "hump-dance" was VERY funny and the delivery of the line "yeah you will" plus the smirk on your face is priceless. Just bring the rest of the movie up to that standard.

Make sure to do this sort of thing at Columbia, too. I hear it really impresses them.

:p

Haha yeah, I can imagine what the interview would have been like.

"So you say this slap was REAL?"

"Yes sir."

"You're in."

daft_vader. we use miniDV tapes. you cant really get better audio from a DV camera unless you have a boom mic.. and.. we're poor? i was constantly telling people (especially neo) to say lines louder, but yeah. i tried to equalize almost all the audio so i can hear it fine on my PC. and i have my volume set at the 2nd bar from the bottom (really low) so i dunno, maybe my sound card is messed up (thankfully my new PC is just done being built)

i cant really do a whole lot in the acting category. i got lucky with having the cream of the crop from my high school, basically. and im no actor, haha.

and smith is supposed to be 'lifeless.' he's an analog/linear/boring/menial kinda guy. just blah blah blah im all cool and im going to kill you while staying completely calm.

thanks though. i agree with you mostly.

One more thing on the first film. Where was his watch when he's like "Oh crap I have to get ready for work." ? :p
