Mark Williams Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I've made an excerpt from a Christmas carol of course its just a test for now without real sets being built etc and I am thinking of putting together a plan for a full feature of this.. I just wondered what peoples thoughts are on this film and on the idea! http://www.mydeo.com/videodownload.asp?YID...&CID=237581 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 (edited) I'd love to see this made into a full length film, Christmas Carol is a story that will never get old in my opinion. The only suggestion I could make is that Scrooge put the candle down and have a more direct talk with Marley, or he sould juse be illuminated by the light of the fire. That aside, brilliant work! I love Marley's plastic chains. :lol: Also, you acted both characters terrifically. I especially liked Scrooge. What a doddering old man!

Thanks Matt yes there has been some debate about the chains which are white to be in keeping with the fact Marleys a ghost Yours is the second comment regarding this though so now Im wondering.

Benson Marks Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 From a novice' perspective, the acting could use some improvement (They actually sound like they were memorizing their lines), but considering that it's test footage, I guess I should expect that. Other than that, I thought it was pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry the acting wasnt up to your standard I guess the Star wars idea is not gonna take off then! Oh well such is life Such is life :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 The problem I had with the chains was that they seemed so light and flimsy. They weren't burdening Marley at all. They were also a brilliant white. I know you were after the 'white as a sheet' effect, but he doesn't look dead or despondent enough for me. Also, I see nothing wrong with your acting. Star Wars should still go ahead. Best! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However regarding Star wars I did look at a film stormtroopers and it was really well done the competition in these sort of films is quite excellent.. I wouldnt be able to compete on effects what I need though is a really good little story and IF I had that maybe I should disassociate it with star wars and make something original.. This needs some thought.. Another thing was the star wars vehicles are fun but not up to the job so I would need to make some.. The millenium falcon is out that would take forever I think though I could manage an X wing What I need is a full size robot suit now that would be cool.. A robot flying an x wing.

Matthew Buick Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Sounds fantastic! Really deep emotional stuff, I'll be glad to see it completed and on screen. Speaking of which, if my health is up to the job, and you don't mind, could I help out on the filming of said script? Like an AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No camera moves just veery short and just for fun n practice. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
