Reviews for "Snow Wars Introduction"
HI COREY
lol
I liked it, the text effects were cool at the beginning.
The comedy was a little bit corny, but I liked it a lot that way..
I was dissapointed when I first saw it wasn't a flash, but it ended up ok, the star wars gun effects and sounds made it have a little element of flash, though for some reason the lip sync was a little off, but nothing to scream about.
Good work :D
Fro responds:
You should of saw the lip syncing before I edited it for about a month.
The voices would still be playing now they were so off. O.o
Thanks for the review. :)
Review
This movie contained some really strong points, yet it seems so very unfinished. The little snowflake menu and the text graphics were a nice touch on the one hand, but the video quality leaves something to be desired, IMO. The camera work was really well done, but higher quality video would take this to a new level entirely.
The music was really probably the strongest point in this piece. You did a great job choosing a song to match the "epic" atmosphere you were trying to convey through the plot and dialogue of the movie. It really gave it a suspenseful yet silly feel at the same time. Nicely done there.
Oh, and you've got to synch those voices, man. >.<
Though there really isn't too much explained as to why this battle is going on, it is still quite interesting. I would suggest having a voice-over (you know, the classic movie trailer voice) describing some of the previous events that let up to that moment in the movie. It would really get the viewer more involved in what's going on.
As far as humor goes, there was certainly some present. I got a chuckle or two though some of the jokes were a bit on the corny side. :P
Overall, you've got some good potential here. Keep working on polishing it up and maybe add some more in-depth plot. I really see a nice series in the works, if you work at it. :D
Fro responds:
Great ideas. I like some of them and will use some of them for sure in the future.
Thanks for the great review.
Funny vid
This video was very funny & obviously had a good effort from the cast. I enjoyed both this and Hay Wars, however Beneath the Sheets is by far my favorite. I look forward to more of your videos in the future!
Fro responds:
If a fan like you likes Beneath the Sheets better than I need to make more horror related films. Will do.
Thanks for the review.
War is a dish best served snowy . . .
The audio is pretty good. Everyone is coming in clear, and the choice of music is appropriate.
The write is good, very good. Most of the jokes are pretty funny, others are very funny, but a few missed. Your "like brothers" bit was golden. Most of Nicks lines were good too. Some jokes that didn't do it for me were "not another one" at the end, and the second time facemask dude tells Nick the date. It was funny the first time, but repetition doesn't really do it for me. I normally don't dwell on it, but second helpings of decent jokes seem to be one of your motifs, and I feel that it hurts you comedically. But that's just an opinion based on personal taste. Even so, if you can keep up this level of humor for the entire duration, however long that is, then you'll be sitting on gold. If this is going to be your opening, I'd recommend clipping it down a bit. Nick kinda repeats himself when talking about enemy pain. His first line about it was good, the second was weak by comparison.
Your acting talent was noticeable. But you seem to be switching between a normal guy accent (good) and a drill sergeant accent (bad). Consistency in your regular guy voice would have been better, but I'm guessing it's too late to fix that now. VO is a bitch that isn't worth the effort. Everything else concerning your acting was expectedly professional. Nick was good too. Facemask guy, could use some work.
I have a problem with a few of your slates. Any slate with an actors name on it should usually be followed with a shot of that person for visual identification purposes, but you and Nick followed every title slate. When several characters aren't identified the audience finds it very hard to follow what's happening to whom. Continuity breaks only aggravate the situation.
You seem to have run into a problem as far as storytelling is concerned. Comedy, even parody, while ridiculous in nature, shouldn't break certain rules, these being rules concerning cinematography, which you have no problem with, and rules governing continuity, which you have disregarded. While it's funny to see you kill your own men, they should still stay dead. When they don't, your story appears to function non-linearly, which is somewhat of a problem. It's probably too late to fix that, but you could take it into account in the future.
Most of the lighting is pretty good, although you may be overusing halo lighting. A few of the earlier shots were whited out, but you fixed the problem later on. If you can replace those shots, or cut them off early, do it. It will maintain a consistency in quality.
You seem to be setting up for something pretty good. It's the best I've seen from you yet. I'm looking forward to the final, hit me up when it's posted.

The review of a professional movie critic.
Can't say thanks enough.
Also, I was Facemask guy. :( I was just trying a different voice that didn't work.
