Teh QC...an indie film

(1/3) > >>

Well, yeah, might as well get this out in the open.  For my highschool's film contest, I decided to make a short film based off of everyone's favorite webcomic.  With a soundtrack featureing The Flaming Lips, Guster, Beck, The Wallflowers, and more, it's sure to please.  btw, I tried emailing Jeph about this, but he still hasn't replied, and we had to start filming soon.  So far, this is what we have done.
Scene 2 (comics 3-4)
(looks like crap cause I had to scale down the file size)
It's still a work in progress.  We plan to include Dora at some point.  I've got actors willing to play each role from comics 1 - 99, even Jimbo and Martin's gay boss!  Expect to see it in all of it's awsomeness around May.

btw, please don't sue me...we're not making any money off it, and think of all the free advertiseing ;)

Ok, im not going to nitpick the casting. They were good, and im sure you were limited to friends, so i wont mess with that.

It was pretty good for a start, but if i were making it, I'd tone fay down a bit, since she's more of a calm character. Also, what are you going to do for pintsize? I dont think there are actors that  small, or that you have the time and/or resources for animating him, since its a Highschool film.

*note, I am not a director, amateur or otherwise, im just putting in my $0.02

Edit: You really should get Jeph's permission first though, with the copyrights and all. He may or may not mind, but if you're using his characters, he's gotta OK it.

lol, i didn't say it was perfect, did I?  anyway, Pintsize is going to be a model, and put into the movie through stop-motion animation (like claymation) and then a voice over will be added...
We probably will need to reshoot that scene anyway, i realized the thing about the galsses after we were done filming it...

btw, I emailed Jeph like 2 months ago...

I didn't think it was too bad.
You reminded me how terrible student actors are, i have to shoot my own short film for my HSC later in this year, and I'm starting to consider hiring a professional.
Anyway, I'd work on your sound, I'm assuming that you didn't use a boom mic, heck, even a hand held mic, tied to a broom and someone to hold it will work.
I'm assuming that your actors work for free, and as such really aren't that dedicated to learning the script and giving in a well rehearsed performance, try and get them enthusiastic, offer things such as : Booze, Sex, Porno, Fire Crackers, etc ..
If you wanna be a smartass, when Jeph changes his style in the comic, you should change the actors.
