  • 4/23 2:09 pm - Nice parody trailer. The syncing of the automated dialogue replacement wasn't that great, but that might have been a stylistic choice since it added to the corny parody of the whole thing. In terms of story, I sort of understand what's going on but I would have worked a more cohesive development of both your protagonist and your antagonist. I feel like I have an understanding of your protagonist, but the antagonist isn't quite as clear. The color treatment on the footage is a bit heavy handed and inconsistent - probably due to inconsistently exposed footage. When treating footage for a look like that where the blacks are crushed you really need to make sure you have consistent raw footage from shot to shot. A few shots were blurry. All in all, this had decent pacing and had the stereotypical feel of a movie trailer.
  • 4/23 10:15 am - Pros - A nice parody that doesn't take itself too seriously. The bad sound sync and goofy costuming added to the humor of the trailer. It was like the L.A.R.P.er's version of Blade Runner, produced as a spaghetti western. Cons - The story is a bit shallow, which may have been in line with the parody you were going for, but did not do enough to entice me to see the film. Exposure of the day exteriors is inconsistent at times, as if the focus of some of the shots. The reverse CU of the main character meeting the robot is out of focus.
