The Macarie Effect

I appoligize for the low graphic points, I having some trouble with compression. This is a promo for my series online which has been running since December 2003. You can't really tell what the plot of the whole thing is about just by looking at the trailer, it's not just mindless violence. Episodes 1 to 5 are up on the site go there then make up your mind of if it sinks or floats your boat. I'm a film director with some flash knowledge. Check the site

Ho Hum

It's clear the author is going for dramatic effect and action, but most of the action is too slowly paced to be particularly interesting. Venturing a guess, I'd say the author worked very hard on the choreography (which is fairly complex in many cases) and is making the mistake of slowing things down so the viewer "has a chance to see it all". That's what a "slo-mo retake" is for --- show the high-speed shot, then cut to replaying the same take (preferably from a slightly different angle) in slo-mo. Here, it just seems that the characters are practicing their moves.

Beyond that, there's nothing in this trailer that really tells me anything about the five short flicks it's promoting, except that they apparently contain a lot of action scenes...slow-paced, boring action scenes. Pass.

Eh.. Not bad

Lots of the matrix in this movie, just some of the ways that the scenes are acted out. Like i said not bad but not breath taking or anything.

Martrix??? I don't see how you got that impression but let me know what I'm doing wrong maybe I can fix it for future submisions. This was just to plug the series none of it was in it's right order. But thanks for ur review :)

i liked it

that was pretty cool, even i found no point in watching it. i'd like to see a full movie.

Garbage

I'm not into cheap Xiao Xiao immitations.

elfenboy19 responds:

you're judgeing it based on the trailer which tells me I did a porr job it getting my point accross. Thanks for your insight and chech out the site, you'll see it goes way beyond Xiao Xiao. There a good story going :)

Why a video file?

This could have been accomplished by using the same flash that was recorded instead of a video; it would have been smaller in filesize.
