Default "Blue Letter"... my 1st short film

Any "likes" or constructive comments would be appreciated.

In the least, I know you guys will like the song at the end. It works for the vibe of the film pretty well, eh?


Cheers,

Brandon

It's definitely interesting. I like it! What I like best is that you took a minimal approach, not a long drawn out story. Only one slight comment, you should have put the name of the song in the credits. That way, if someone watching it liked it, they'd know who it's by. Actually, I think I'll post it in the comments at YouTube.

Well, thank you! The movie original was 5 minutes. I had "Death" in the mirror during the bathroom breakdown scene... but I felt like it didn't work. After the credits are finished, I cut back to the bathroom and show Death pointing... as if "you're next" kind of thing. For some reason when I rendered it, that clip got cut off. I will have to RE-upload it.

Anyway... For reasons of telling a "good" quick story... we were required to cut it down to less than 3 minutes. So cutting 2 minutes of footage (and making the story work) was considerably difficult. I think it still works, but I am my own worst critic and will pick it apart until Kingdom Come.

That was cool. Are you doing it for a job/course/hobby?

I enjoyed your mini movie. I found one mistake though. When the guy came out of the shower and stood in front of the mirror, his hair was dry. It should have looked wet.
