Awhile ago I posted a film on here asking about lighting. I was told, constructively of course, that the lighting, camera movement, and other such things were so awful that nobody could get through the first 2 minutes. That was this film:

And here is the movie I just finished:

I feel I've improved a lot at least in the camera work and lighting aspect. I'd really appreciate some feedback, criticism, etc.

Hey, man good job on taking some great improvements. The first minute and a half of dialog is a little hard to hear, and the camera wasn't really in the best position, but definitely throughout the movie I could see some definite improvements in your camera work. The long tracking dolly shot that follows the guys/wall was very nice, and some of your other shots were very nicely composed also.

I think a good step for you would be to watch some popular movies to see the different kinds of shots and how they cut between then for scenes extended conversation and dialog between 2-3 characters.

Also I would put some more work into making sure the camera is steady and smooth at all times. During a few parts the camera was wiggling around a bit. Not huge movement, but just enough to be distracting

Good improvements, stick with it!

Thanks!

This time I wanted it to look better so I used no hand held shots but I guess it still didn't work out perfectly. For that wall shot we put the tripod in my friends minivan and he drove along with us and then for the other moving ones, like when they're robbing the house I used one of those computer chairs with wheels so that probably wasn't the steadiest thing to use.

Thanks again for the feedback, I appreciate it.
