"Had some problems"
date: December 16, 2008
Besides a number of technical glitches, the audio levels on this movie were all over the place. I had to change the volume 3 times. There's not a whole lot of story and it's disjointed. The characters don't make a lot of sense, either. Why is the guy a wannabe? What makes Matt a techno geek? Why would the idiot character have a time machine? It's not enough to tell me these things fit into your story. You have to show me, too.
Your reading sounds pretty wooden, too. I know voice work is tough, but all these characters seem to have 2 emotional modes: annoyed or hesitant.
To answer your concern, the lip-synching was passable. Not great, but I only noticed 1 major instance in which the characters mouth kept moving and no sound was coming out.
I would guess that a lot of the issues I see are things you might see too in someone else's work. I know how quickly flaws melt into the background after you've been staring at the same project for weeks. Good call soliciting feedback here, but you'd do even better showing it to your friends or family members first. You have a much wider audience here with a much greater chance for feedback; the opportunity is diminished when people here are faced with problems that you could have identified quickly just by getting some honest feedback from the people you see in real life.
Hope the review helps.

Thanks for the great review. I knew people would find glitches here and there and I want them to point it out. Next time it will be even better!
