Back on topic, guys?

We got bored
As is the norm...
This one will be done by the end of the month though, it's hardly an epic, lol.

Hey guys, I got something new for y'all. In the few spare hours we've had over the last week my crew and I have managed to begin this little comedy short. It's about a bin man investigating the mystery surrounding an unpleasant discovery he makes during his weekly round... Check it out on YouTube he...

Are you serious??
Blade Trinity and Resident Evil (and the sequel) are <i>barely</i> movies.
I can't think of a single redeeming feature of either...

NoRemorse is writer and director along with me and plays Jake (stripey). I'm only going to be in it breifly, due to the fact I can't really act that well, lol. We'll definately take your advice and work on establishing the characters a lot more in the coming scenes in the build-uo to The Party, whic...

Ok, I'll try to sum up the story breifly, lol... Aaron Samuels (the character in black) is pretty much a total arsehole. He's self-centered, nilhilistic and arrogant. He is bereft of any sort of morals; some might even call him 'evil'. He has a girlfriend, but still messes around with a thousand gir...

Thanks a lot for that post. I'll try and address some issues you've raised... 1. Hmm, perhaps I was wrong in classing it as a teen comedy. What I meant was that the first act is just a lot more light-hearted than the rest of the movie but I do see your point. Hmm... Perhaps I will have to think abou...

I think you have some anger management issues, princess. You're worse than Rhys. Someone who gets this worked up on the Internet clearly has problems.... I'm not the one arguing - just responding to what you say in a thread I started. If you don't want an argument, just don't post again? Or better y...

Freed, you are a total moron. You don't make any sense. If you're not even <i>intending</i> to be constructive then what's the point in even responding? In the Read-Me it does say only constructive criticism is welcome... I don't see how I responded to Lawriejaffa in any negative way, or anyone else...

Well, if you put time into the dub there's no reason it couldn't come out sounding great. What we did was to record it all real-time and edit that together so the dialogue can be heard, albeit over background noise, and then get your actors to mimic their on-screen dialogue into the mic. That'll ens...

Nice, simple idea. The poster on your MySpace is really impressive and I liked the production stills. Wish I could afford some of that equipment... I'll look forward to watching the film, especially if it has the same quirky sense of humour I loved in both I Want Money and the Burito one. Good luck ...

Their style? What about their style is 'emo'? I'm still really confused. Besides, what does their 'style' have to do with the scene? It's just how we dress... You mean to say you wouldn't have watched it if you'd known we were going to dress that way? :? Does it usually put you off films if someone'...

Two emo kids? Where'd you get that from, Freed? Were they crying or cutting their wrists or.... what? :? And what exactly about the direction and dialogue did you find 'contrived'? It's just two kids having a conversation... We were not trying to be quirky or tongue-in-cheek. Do you and your mates n...

Thanks for taking the time to comment, guys. I really appreciate it. I hadn't noticed those kids in the shop, Kenny, so thanks for pointing them out. I'll certainly do something about that. About the pixelated transitiony thing though; I don't know what the hell's up with that. It's just appeared wh...

Right. I've noticed a lot of new members on here, so I hope a few of you can take the time out to let me know what you think to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHF32Rdy5Fg It's the opening of our new flick, 'Monsters'. It begins as a light-hearted teen comedy, but an unexpected twist will see t...

C'mon...
No one else has an opinion??
Help me out here, guys.

Thanks for the kind words. ra2929, all will be explained a bit later on in the film. What's happening is that with all the pollution, overpopulation, disease, war, political corruption, sexual perversion, murder and drug addiction, the UN have decided Britain is just not worth anything any more so a...

From the brilliant minds behind 'Sanguinary Man' and 'Bamboozle' comes a new film about friendship, betrayal and survival against all odds. Britain has been marked for destruction and only the richest can afford a ticket out of the country. The rest of the population are resigned to their fate and ...

Nah, I don't mind but that's my old account. Add x__atouchoverrated@hotmail.co.uk instead (2 underscores).

That's cool, mate. Didn't know anyone else at school was into film making and stuff. Feel like checking out some of my stuff and letting me know what you think? If you browse through the Member's Film pages you'll probably find Bamboozle and Tough World...

Yep, I went to Hollywell.
Matt Tindall?? I'm at Wootton now...
I recognised a few cast members in the trailer, so who are you?

Looks cool, pretty funny.
Can't wait to see the whole film.

Did Holywell have any idea you were filming at the school?

Yep, that was our lil Kill Bill reference. There's a few more references to other films we chucked in there. Anyone notice anything?? Thanks for the kind words, Orny. And I dunno what's up with the musical square in the town centre... Something the council thought It'd be cool to waste money on?? *S...

Safe.
Here's the finished film.
Clocks in at about 35 minutes, but well worth your time.
We're all really proud of it and would love to hear what you guys think.
Enjoy.

Magic.
Thanks for the kind words everyone .
Really appreciate it.
Hopefully we should have a finished film for you soon enough. Just a bit busy with coursework and exams coming up at the moment... :S.
