MattHawkins Online - Film Making Forum

You say films are for telling stories, yes, this may sound wierd but they can tell stories without having a storyline. Paitings can tell stories, so can modern art paintings but in different ways. The way I like to iflm is making a film that does not just put the story there one a plate for you, yes...

As i said before, it is in post-production, but it has has to been delayed further 'cause I lost it all, really randomly and have to start post-production all over again.

The gun sound effet at the end? Yeah, 'cause I was experimenting makng it echo and it didn't turn out very well in that version.

Listen, everyone wants a storyline, why on earth does everything have to have a storyline. It's like totaly dismissing all of modern art. Unlike the older paintings they wern't anything. They where just, I suppose what could be described as 'splodges', with no reality, no realisim, like not having a...

awful, just awful. what the hell does white goods have to do with the heart. tediously long. could not make out a damn thing in the black and white grain. a overtly long generic exercise. didnt try to be "arty" as you say or original because its been done a million times before if you wan...

Yeah, and the length, 5 minutes or 60 minutes?

OK, anyone else? I need more comments, thought etc.

Come on, I need some comments here.

I watched it in full. I just didn't like, it looked like you where just messing around, for fun. The fight was bad and quite slow paced, thetn suddenly in the middle of a realistic fight the person turns magic. Also the effects where terrible, the gun didn't flash, and you didn't add a noise (which ...

here's a new short, which I originaly recorded as an arty thing, but then decided, well that doesn't really appeal to everyone, so I chaged it a bit and added a bit of drama. I won't say much more now. PLEASE WATCH AND COMMENT NOW! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=1215088059143263485&hl=e...

the price really depends on what it is I do… It can range from like £10 to £100 (like not usualy £100)

oh right mickar, actualy that's a good idea, for my next films that involve guns I'll do that.

Oh right, I'm based in London, but I was just wondering… All sounds cool, hope it goes well, but at the mo I don't think I can offer much help…

first of all mickar did I ever accuse SgtPadrino of accusing me of being historicaly inaccurate, no. I just said that was what I called 'fine details' and what that I hated it when people critised you over that. And besides, of course it's a toy gun, do you really expect a eleven or twelve year-ol t...

Reminds me of a project I ditched called Four little feet which was about two children who run-away, but it wasn't a comedy.

Of cousre I working on them and of course I care about what people say, I wouldn't ask for comments if I didn't want to be critised, 'cause every film on here has at least on justified critisim. And the fine points, well your ffine points are different to mine: for instance, what I really hate is wh...

Very, very good, knocked ISO off the block as my number one best film. Just a couple of things, like in some points the continuity wasn't great, but oh well. And at the beggining the main character drew a gun, but as soon as he made a movement, in real life, the other two would have shot him, but th...

I would like to point out: best film on the site. I liked it, and think it should be turned into a full feture length thing - if you have time. That would be brilliant.

Lawrie dude, you based in the US?

I'm afraid but that just sounds perverse.

I finaly saw it-

no offense, but that was… great! Brilliant for your age, loved. Great! Great! Great! I really look forward to the Release.

People, I don't know people bother with PCs, cause they're a load of c***. They have terrible interfaces, bad help, crash, get viruses, look horrible, and Mac has great features like iMovie and GarageBand - which you just don't get on PCs unless you pay about £300.

Thanks Lawrie, for some great advice:P You know, some people on this site are so ridicously (oh hey, I've spelt that wrong! Very wrong!) mature, it's funny. Lawrie is so excellent at giving advice, seriously, he's harsh, but he's great. I hate people who just say things suck and thats it (I suppose...

no I haven't, why? (sorry, here goes mindless small talk!!)

challengerbravo525 wrote:no, so why make it?

why make it, hadn't I explained, beccause I was bored and it wasted time, and then recently I had nothing else to do, so I found it on my computer and put on the internet.
