I never saw the original, so i dont really know what to comment. Other than that that video reminded me of how much i cant stand Slipknot.

When i film things i try to get the actors to portray realistic emotion. I do my best to do the same. But for me though, people i get to act are used to being on a stage in a play. Although some people disagree....stage acting is NOTHING like film acting. Stage is all body language, film is about %9...

Yeah i have a few pairs of nunchucks. Played around with them some. And...take it from me, you will hurt yourself.lol.

And you hadnt heard of Bruce Lee???

Epsilon's right. Rhys, it always seems like you come up with weapons you wanna use or fight scenes you would like to make and base your script around that. When it should be the opposite. Story comes first. Fights and guns are just tools to tell the story.

What i read was ok. But, i thought you were writing a script? Is this a book?

Best advice I have for you Rhys....write some scripts. I know these fights are just tests or experiments. But youve been doing those for awhile now, you must have learned something by filming these? Well, put it to use. Write a movie with focus on story and acting. And if you want a challenge...make...

I liked that. I liked it alot. And, as someone who writes alot of short films I HATE it when people complain about no plot twists or tieing it up at the end....Its a short film. Theyre not all supposed to be like that. I like an open ended visual based short film. This has almost inspired me to do a...

Yeah. Cant do action forever. It gets repetitive...quick. For a future movie, focus on your story and script more than fight coreography. Simplicity can be a very good thing if done well.

Ooooh!! I have one. And I would love to see someone film it. We were going to, but everything in essence just went to hell. And, before I give it to you. I do plan on also filming it myself...someday, probably 2 or 3 years from now. All I ask is that my name is in the credits for head writer. PM me ...

The Monocle film was alright. Lawriejaffa was right in how it seems very sterotypical independent, arthouse film. It sort of hurt my eyes to watch it though (NOT meant as an insult) but the way every cut was a fade was just a strain on my eyes. Those cuts as well seemed too forced. Trying to hard to...

Pressurized air pumps. So on and so forth. Yeah, theres been lots of stuff posted on this.

That was pretty good. Looked good except for that it seemed like the body hit the white wall slightly too soon. The weight of it was slightly off, but the body itself looked pretty real. Very nice.

Well, the camera quality was pretty good....Unfortunately thats about it. I really didnt like this. It made no sense at all, what so ever. The entire time it felt as if someone was desperately trying, trying way too hard, to be very weird and surreal. And it just didnt work. I get what you're trying...

whoa, yeah, me too.

That was actually pretty good. The zooms did work, but it was because this was an action sequence. Anywhere else they would look out of place. For some reason i especially loved the scene of her being shot (not to sound morbid) But the angle you had with only the sky as the background, everything ab...

Ah, God. I hate putfile. Is there any way you can put it on Google video, or Youtube? Me and putfile have never had a good relationship. It wants my blood for some reason.

HA! that was great. I laughed my a** off when the guy "Died....from justice". Hilarious video. And ive seen a ton of those "Wildest Videos" bullcrap with the John Bunell guy. And the american accent ended up just sounding like a nerdy accent lol. But great video. "This camer...

Very good. Only thing I suggest would be to find a louder sound effect for the laser pistols the man is shooting out of the car. They just sounded like faded pops in the trailer. But yes, the ship looks fantastic. Nice job.

Yes, yes, thank you both of you. My friends think im crazy when i dont eat the bacon if syrup has gotten on it. No. That is wrong. Its an abomination. No meat should be sweet.

And, they have pancakes at McDonalds?

Ha. Wow. That was really funny. It was supposed to be funny right? Only suggestion is to speed up the fights. Way too many times it looked all slow like two people practicing so that they wont hurt eachother. Sometimes it looked like they were waiting to be hit. So, faster fights would be good. But ...

If you dont want the characters to use magic and only do realistic things.....why are there wizards and magicians and masters at all? Just use normal people in the modern day world, it will make things MUCH easier on you.

uh... they're made out of freakin card board, and suddenly they've become everybodys new best friend. mine too, at leasted for the meetage of the hand and p*n*s how to make them cooler??? sorry but they're not. you guys must really be desperate for something to talk about, which i am, but thats no ...

Oooooh. Oh so weird. Excellent, I think many people here need to take a look at that. Its subtlty in horror movies that makes it scary. Sound, atmosphere, lighting, and i think most of all....camera angles. Not just monsters and blood. I mean that little video has got me on edge bymyself here. I kee...

ha. I cant wait to see the fights in full.
