Entry Description

A college boy named Miles with no money and trying to get by finds an ad for a shady scientific experiment. Miles becomes part of this experiment and has no idea what is going on. Miles is all alone until he creates a 'friend' for himself, but in the end is this 'friend' truly his 'friend'?

Judge 1

Positives: I really liked the majority of the camera work and shot selection used. Editing was creative and added to the mood of the trailer. Great Job!!!

Improvements: The idea of the story line did not present itself in a strong way during the trailer. The shot of the test area was overused in the trailer.

Judge 2

Positives: Pace was good. Good music. You kept me watching and waiting for something to happen, which is good. You kept my attention! Nice!

Improvements: I am not a fan of sloppy hand-held camera. Hand-held is actually hard to do. Even harder if you "don't" want to keep the camera still. You actually have to unlearn what you have learned about solid handheld. Watch your color temps and exposure. I heard a wireless "hit" on the female actors audio near the beginning. I assume that was your only take?

Judge 3

Positives: Contained creative shots, well composed and staged. Visual FX were effective.

Improvements: Concept of what is going on is too disjointed and non-linear. Some of the edits were rough / audio cuts didn't match video.
