  • A Trailer of my new short film

    Here below is a rough trailer of my new short film "The Divine Cronus". The film is about 16 minutes long and it is about cannibalism. The budget is very low...

    Take a look at this trailer I cut. I may probably redo it later, but hopefully it'll give you an idea of what the film is about. let me know if you have any questions or comments (e.g. whether the trailer makes you wanna see more or makes you hate it already :))

    hi Kenji,
    I think it's an interesting topic and so far, I find it engaging. For me, the cuts don't have to go so fast, but it does work and maybe it's more engaging that way. My only real criticism just looking at this is to make sure the voiceover is crystal clear. There are just a few moments when I feel the words are being swallowed, and it's the voiceover and the way you smooth over the tone in the soundtrack that is going to make your fast cuts really work great for you (: hope this helps, and good luck with it!

    bleupluie: it is not actually a documentary but we kinda made it feel like it, so it is good to hear that you think it looks like a doc..
    pat and jaine: you guys got a point, the narration is definitely not pro. On the other hand, it is supposed to be a "doc" made by two amateurish asian intern reporters, so we kinda did it on purpose. the girl is supposed to be not a native speaker.

    also some of the background noise behind one of the narrators was annoying but that is coz my hearing sucks.  (sorry just being honest)

    interesting , I found the narration a little hard to follow, I second Patricks view.

    interesting subject matter.  but i wonder if it would work better if there was a more "professional sounding" narrator?  dunno...
