What the fuck? I know you pretty much had an idea and added the beginning to make it qualify for the rules. Cool idea for a movie, really. I just don\'t know if Halloween would have been the best time to execute it? Nice camera work, and very well put together.

Burning Bus-2/10-That didn\'t seem to have a real plot....or anything exciting at all...I\'m being gracious with a 2. The movie just didn\'t make any sense.

Congrats on your first filmfights.com entry. The main advice I would have for you is to watch your wide-angle shots, without the necessary closeups it\'s hard to tell what the character is doing sometimes. I liked the music, but you might want to blend it / loop it together a little more, there was a big pause before it started up again. Also, this is a definitely different type of film for Halloween so some people might not understand what\'s going on here.

Cute, great imagery in general. A very calm film that doesn\'t need anything more. Were you alone shooting it? All the shots are steady and well chosen except for the close up which gave me the impression that the camera was handheld by the girl. Anyways... a very satisfying film, let\'s celebrate life!

Nicely done, I liked the music and the pace of the film was good. I would\'ve liked to have seen some tighter shots. I thought the garden scene could\'ve used some more detail as to what you were doing.

I think the real celebration comes when you are out celebrating Samhain and the first kid to come to your house has a candy-gasm and takes the whole bucket.

This one has a real interesting feel to it. I like that the opening shots don\'t have any music - makes it feel more \'real\' - like a documentary. I guess this movie was made in all seriousness? Like ... I imagine that this person is a wiccan celebrating some kind of solstice or something?

Almost reminds me of Rushmore a little bit. Perhaps it\'s the music that seems Wes Anderson-esque. Simple, quiet, peaceful. I like it. Could be a bit shorter ...

I thought this was very cute, and yet it seemed like a hallmark comercial. I enjoyed your idea a lot though and it was really nicely made. The music went great with it too but it still kind of made it feel it drag on a bit. But seriously this was great! Awesome job!

Is that what a hippie does on Halloween? It\'s looks like you shot the exterior shots on different days or at different times. The lighting continuity is really off. I hate fucking hippies. I hope that this was a weird satire that I did not understand.



As always, your love Kevin Mosley.

Some good smooth shots. I like the various angles used. Im definitely waiting for something to happen. Smooth editing. Continuity is goood. Is this about Halloween? Nice ending. Very sweet. AGH. the last bump made the last shot distracting. Overall good, but not about Halloween.
