In Response To: Re: Doubts... (Billstrom) : well, this guy makes freaking awesome short films, rather than beer ads. so
WETA just handles the special effects and ect. So really, that has nothing to do with telling the story other then making it look better. That is a big factor, but even if you have amazing special effects, but the story aspect is weak, the film isn't going to fly. I understand what you're saying Roger, and I mostly agree. I wish there was a better way to judge this guy, but like you said, he's only made short films. Jumping from six minutes to two hours can be problematic, no matter how good the script is. It's all about the camera angles. If he can't get good ones, or he overdoes it (The entire Halo Film cannot be done in the same style as Alive in Joburg, it just won't work. That's like a documentary.) it could seriously screw things up. He's going to need to sort of 'mix' his style with something a little more conventional to do things right. Hopefully he'll pull it off. :) |
