In Response To: Some thoughts on movie-making... (Louis Wu)

: Lastly, it takes a heavily-filmed subject (warthog jumping) and gives it a
: new spin; it has a hook. Hooks are good.

This is the key.

When I started watching this movie, I thought, "Oh good lord... Not ANOTHER warthog jump ripoff." But I was pleasantly surprised to see something a bit different.

Not to offend anyone, but do people REALLY want to see movies of you blowing up your warthog? Well, I don't. That is, unless you do something clever.

So here is my plea. Before you send in your movie, watch it critically and decide whether it's actually ADDING something to the "Halo Vid" scene. Just using a different song while showing the same tired old tricks doesn't do anything for me. (and I suspect lots of other people think the same)

Make it interesting people! Show us something new! :-)
