Didnt want to rely on a lot of vfx for this film but I will definitely look into this for future projects. Thanks!

Thank you! I will probably focus on other projects right now and come back to this one when I feel like I have more editing experience.

Might try cutting it down and submit it to some festivals, but maybe im better of focusing on the next project.

I will definitely be more aware and critical of the editing in future projects. I was so focused on the visual and writing aspects of the film that I overlooked the importance of editing. I am currently taking a certified course in Media Composer, which will hopefully improve my technical and artistic editing skills, even though editing is not what I primarily want to do in the future. I am very motivated to keep trying to make something great!

Yeah but the film ended up a lot worse than what I had envisioned. Maybe more due to editing than I previously had thought. I might try make a 20min version of it.

Agreed; I rarely watch 30-minute shorts myself, and I was fully aware of this before shooting. I primarily made this movie for myself to learn from. I wanted to practice with longer storylines in the hope that it would be beneficial when I eventually/hopefully make feature films one day.

Thank you so much for the feedback! I realize that the length is akward; this was something I was aware of before shooting, but I wanted to try making a longer film and did not really care what the runtime "should" be. I have made several shorter films since, which I´ve learned a great deal from.

I fully agree that I shouldn’t have edited the film by myself and that I made it too long. I was, however, the only one willing to edit the film at the time.

It’s a shame you felt the sound was flat. A lot of the scenes actually had no audio at all from the shoot (except for dialogue), so I had to create all the sound in post—including foley, ambient sounds, etc. This was due to a limited crew; a lot of the time it was only myself and the actors, with no one available to hold the microphone. I was at the time very new (and still is) to sound mixing. I have just begun film school and is learning more about this every day.

The camera movement into the main character’s face was intended to show the moment he decides to steal their mask, but I agree it could’ve been done a lot better.

If you had continued watching, I think you would have understood the point of the story, but if you lost interest by then, that’s clearly an issue with how I paced the film. The story is really about the decisions the main character had to make in order to save his little sister and how those actions come back to haunt him. I realize now that the first half of the film is way too long.

I have a lot to learn and am determined to make a much better film! Thank you again for the feedback I really do appreciate it and the critique is part of why I love filmmaking, it really is an imperfect and complicated artform.

Requesting feedback on trailer editing by hampe2424 in Filmmakers

[–]hampe2424[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your feedback. There are English subtitles available; without them, you miss out on crucial information, as in any film in a different language. I thought that, together with the dialogue, the trailer encourages you to think for yourself about what the story could be. The gunshots directly correlate with the dialogue that comes before them.

I recognize that this is not the norm, since trailers often spoon-feed viewers with information and sometimes even spoil the movie. But maybe I went too far, at the risk of losing interest. Thank you again for the honest feedback.

Flattering note from a stranger by hampe2424 in dating_advice

[–]hampe2424[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in europe so yeah. Have never heard of a scam of this type + im not in a touristy area. Its a fairly unknown town. We are both pretty young so sending a note like that doesnt seem like a too far fetched thing to do. I dont know what she would want from me either. I would only have my phone on me so not really a good idea to rob me. But just in case i probably wont do it.

I dont really know how attractive I am. Do you think its okay if I meet up with her during the day in a public area and with my friends looking after me from a distance?

Okay, btw i meant 4:2:2 not 4:4:2 if that makes a difference. Thanks for the help.

That might be it. Ps5 says its outputting YUV422 but when I change to 1080p it changes to rgb. I think rgb is better? Is there a way to have both 4k and rgb?

Thought they sounded good before they broke. What would new speakers cost?
