Review :
The ultimate DIY
The bad then the good
Some who see this film will say what the hell? It was awful, bad acting, bad, well everything!
Being someone who is currently writing my own script and drawing storyboard for my own first film and who is also from New Zealand I can really appreciate just how much goes into making a film, especially in New Zealand with No budget to make it with,
I stress the No Budget bit.
There is really nothing much to help those wanting to make zero budget film in NZ. Post production and planning is a huge effort and takes forever, special effects makeup cost a fortune here compared to in the U.S, especially if you use genuine professional products. There's very few places that stock these materials as well.
These are the following reasons why I give Mr Davies film a 9
1. He used creative kiwi (New Zealanders are called Kiwis)ingenuity using hardware lights for studio lamps,
2. used different creative angles and lighting to add atmosphere.
3. Found a way to use some special effects in a country that is limited to supplies unless you chop up your cat.
4. Had a couple of scenes in the film that were reminiscent of the grudge/the ring, (no, there were no spooky Asian women with larengitis.or anemic Asian kid in nappies)
5. Managed to get film footage of up inside their ceiling somehow without falling through it. After all who needs a Stuntmen when you can just break the actors arms legs and back.
6. Added a twist that turned the film into an actual decent enough film to sit down and watch...... all the way through, which with NZ film is often hard to do unless it's made by Peter Jackson.
7. Didn't have platinum blonde bimbo of the universe with breast implants to take the lead in his movie just to attract an audience. You know the ones with breast implants so big they knock themselves unconscious when they go jogging.
8. Last but not least, did nearly everything almost alone with a really small film crew, I believe was made up from friends.
9. To be selected for a New York film festival I think he is doing very well not many get this far without a blonde bimbo
Especially when you come from a country with a population of only 4.2 million most of which, don't seem to know where the on button is on their digital video camera. :-)
Go for it Gary I hope to see more from you and your team in future.
