I think a lot of people here take this fan film too seriously - worst of all though would be Huntie. Seriously as an artist, one must be ready to take criticism. You could make the best movie in the world and there's always going to be some people who will not like it, plain and simple.

Conversely, there's always people who WILL like it, even if it's a total pile of crap. So focus on your fanbase, and take constructive criticism with the aim to improve. If everyone you meet says you're a talentless hack then perhaps you need some more time to refine your skills.

As for the actual film, yeah it was ok, I agree with all the prior opnions here - great for a one man show, confusing writing, too dark, etc all. When watching it 90% of the time I couldn't even tell what the characters were even saying to each other over the voice effects, and when it was done really had no idea what it was even about.

Effects were decent, props are easily the best part of the produciton (you guys may not be impressed with the Godzilla suit but I thought it looked pretty good.) My only gripe with the effects is that there are too many in camera perspective shots, where for instance a monster head is closer to the camera to make it look bigger. Problem is the illusion just doesn't happen, and it ends up looking just like what it is - a small puppet close up to the camera. This is really evident during the spaceship chase at the begining - they look like models. Most of these shots would have come off better just using features in Aftereffects to blow up the objects or whatever to get the same effect.

Anyway, I really am impressed though with the film, despite the flaws. Huntie needs to learn how to take the good with the bad, and should be proud of his production, warts and all. Really if anyone thinks they can do better no one is stopping them from making thier own little opus.

Howabouts instead of a Godzilla filmmaking contest (Toho would say no-ho!), we broaden it to be just an independent kaiju film contest? It could be a fanfilm or it could be a totally original piece (maybe if there are enough of both, have two categories?). I'm sure Avery would be all over covering this. XD

I hate to say it, but I TOLD YA SO! I was saying from the beginning that yeast was at least SOMEONE involved with the production. NOBODY is that defensive unless its something they had a personal stake in. I've seen letters and comments on various movie websites and message boards (mostly horror websites) where [insert low budget film's maker] has written in with the EXACT same things Huntie's been spewing, even right down to personal insults. The guys at the Asylum are NOTORIOUS for that kind of idiotic behavior. Some people just CAN'T take criticism and those people need another hobby because they'll NEVER grow as artists if they are that defensive about their work. Ask any respectable film maker... they WANT to find negative reviews so they can IMPROVE in the future.

Here's something I almost posted, and then decided I was more mature than that... but not by much. Here it is for your entertainment. I was a little flabbergasted that he actually made this comment, but in the end I left it alone.

til now. I'm a hypocrite.

i just cant even begin to understand how someone can have SUCH a vendetta against people they don't even really know...

i mean, this string of comments wasn't even begun on one of the pages for HIS p.o.s. film...he went out of his way to come to ANOTHER PERSON'S youtube page and try and start stuff up...

unreal
