There were some shots over exposed and some zoom things that got annoying. And the subtitles went too fast at times.
but for a GL2 it looked really good. Did you apply any filters?

Thanks for the response! In "over exposed" youre referring to the headshots in the car I persume? if that's the case I'm really going to try not to shoot in front of the sun inside a vehicle without proper light, lesson learned... In "Annoying zoom" you mean the shots that were taken at the sea with the 2 actors? I actually kind of like this style, I figured some people would be annoyed by it...
The subtitles I will fix as soon as I'll get back from my trip to the US.
No actual filters were used, all color manipulation in post I used 3 different settings for the 3 different scenes as you probably noticed, is it weird?
Can you elaborate more on what you think of the acting/plot/music/sound?
Thanks, I really appreciate it!

I'll have to watch it again, to be honest I was watching from a total visual standpoint because I liked how it looked
I'd be interested in knowing exactly what you did in post

I definately liked the look, there were just a couple of spots that seemed a little off editing wise. I was expecting it to be a an action movie, idk why but the beginning just seemed like that, lol. But yeah the main problem I had was the subtitles. I had to focus just on the subtitles to read them and couldn't look at the movie. It did make me watch it twice, but it was a bit annoying to have to for that reason.
it was pretty good... i think that the shaky camera work was a bit distracting towards the end, and like said before, the subtitles were hard to follow.... i kind of felt like it was a bit longer than needed...like the whole point could have been summed up more quickly.... i dont know. the look of the film was excellent, expecially for a GL2. all in all, a good film, especially for a first film. good job.
Hi to all! I wish I had more time I'd probably would have taken all your advices and do something about them... maby when I'll get back from america.
Forsakenproductions: I used "Magic bullet looks" tweaked their presets a bit, if you don't have it already it's a must!
Heliotrope: what do you mean in "a little off editing wise"? I'm terribly sorry for the subtitles I did it in quite a rush and I have problems uploading to youtube so I won't have the time to fix them for now... however I wish to know if language is understandable? did it sound real in any way? I'm not sure I translated anything right... Liked the idea of that being an action film... maby some other time
braininabox: All songs names are at the credits in order of appearance. this song's name is "Easy muffin" by Amon Tobin.
Evan: I think the main thing is that it was a bit long, I just wanted to show the stupid things Tom does while she's screaming, I took in concideration the length but now I realise I could have cut a lot from it without losing the idea. GL2 is a great camera, you just have to learn how to shoot with it, it's not as easy as the DVX100 where everything is progressive-cinema crap. You do lose a doze of resolution making all sorts of manipulations to make it look like film, but hardly noticable for SD. I think it's advantage are colors. if scene is well lit it's color reproduction is fantastic. Great DOF can be obtained with excessive zoom. You have to work hard for the GL2 to look like it's bigger brothers, but possible enough...
