I know, setting the scene. One thing that always grabs me with your movies is the ability to set the scene, be it Horror, Sci-fi, Drama. This film is no exception; in fact it goes beyond that, this film is unique!
I've never been so appreciative of 'difference' in a machinima movie. Some use it to stand-out; others use it to enhance immersion however. You on the other hand use it for both.
The visuals were just so gritty and that's what makes this work. It’s something that could have only worked based on the setting and the choice to mix so many different layers was just pure genius. The opening scene alone stole it for me. I actually felt as though I was standing by a cliff as the truck pulls away.
This film had for me anyway, the best use of lighting and shadows I have seen in a long time (perhaps ever). From the subtle yet exquisite areas of where light maps shine onto objects and people to the actual colours, this film had it all.
There was one scene I could have sworn that 'Robert' was walking and for a brief moment, a shadow befalls on him before sunlight hits him again (maybe it was me but either way, I will be watching again for sure).
All this and I haven't even began on the adaptation side of things.
This film was brilliantly paced with some truly memorable storytelling. The characters were so fitting and I must say, I was genuinely spooked out. I mean... truly disturbed with some of the things I saw. My facial expressions throughout the viewing altered so many times, with my eyebrows raising and dropping throughout.
I think for me, one scene that dictated this was the awe-inspiring facial eye expanding sequences. How damn creepy can you get? I mean seriously, who thinks of that? Amazing!
Music was atmospheric and really enhanced the film and I must say a stand out moment had to be the finale chase sequence. It was just so thrilling to watch and it really kept me on the edge of my seat.
Your use of scenes and animations is something I personally appreciate when watching as you squeeze this tool out of every possible useful scene and integrate into your films.
Once again, you have proved that with time, dedication and ability, this software can be pushed to the outer limits and produce something truly special.
Thank you for sharing your talent and vision!
Nuke Well in Creativity!
Definately in my all-time classics collection and will only be surpassed now by an adaption of one of your other two faves, I'm afraid to say :P
See you around.
