This film basically took me a year to make it's a film noir, but i think you will all be far more interested in the CGI (it pretty good) watch it at http://www.funpeddler.co.uk/2.htmlits near the top of the page or at http://www.vidilife.com/index.cfm?f=media.play&vchrMediaProgramIDCryp=A61E8887-E719-43AC-B984-E

I find the plot a little difficult to follow during the exposition, but that CGI is really cool. The best part I think is the editing, the Screwy Louie scene is made a lot more amusing with it, and the bar montage is awesome.

Yeah the only real negative feedback i have is that the film can be vauge at point's, i suppose that's my fault as i rushed to get it finsihed. The character of Screwy Louie was a spontanius thing i added between two scenes i never intened to put him in the full film but now he's my favorite character.

-Thanks for your feedback, anyone else feel free to post theirs.

Looks good. I can't watch 42 minutes of it though. Didn't see anything too bad that needed fixing. Trying to deepen your voice was a bit obvious, but I suppose you had no choice. The effects were done well. I liked the shadow gunshot, and the colouring effects. Good start into making movies.

12 minutes in at the moment. Still got my attention at the moment, so it must be pretty good. My only critisism is the audio. You really need to get someone on the case next time who knows how to mix it properly - in particular, you are in dire need of compression so that you can hear the quiet bits and the loud bits clearly, without constantly having to turn ya speakers up and down.

So far so good though. Good job.

I watched the whole lot. Pretty amusing in places. I liked the police chief the most. I dunno what the chaps above were saying about the plot but I found it pretty simple to follow and pretty straight up, although they might've missed a few lines with the sound issues. It'd be cool if you could get hold of separate sound recording device next time and make sure it's in the right spot, cos you can tell you're using the camera mic when it goes quiet, then loud at different ranges.

Entertaining though mate. Well done. I've always wanted to do something similar, but none of my friends are into that sorta thing. I'm the only arty one, so it aint gonna happen. Nice work though.

Btw, IT'S DECAF, SO THE JOKES ON YOU!

That was a great line. I, too liked the Chief. He's so cool all he needs is his awesome hat before he kicks the bucket.

haha. Yeah. And his constant threat to get work done is to be kicked off the force. "Don't shoot that mayor, or you're off the force!!!" comes as a weightier threat than threatening to shoot him in the head with a sawn-off.

I'll probably watch it again at some point. Btw No budget games, are you the camera man, or one of the characters or both?

Pretty good movie, i liked it!

Kinda cheesy at times but generally intersting. I liked the part where Peterson shoots the mugger then hits us with the one-liner, "Stay in school!"... now that's original. The moody background song that plays almost everytime Perterson is on screen is pretty cool too and fits the scenes very well.

If you guys plan on making a sequel then i'd suggest you check out Max Payne: Hero for inspiration.

-poin taken about the audio, i actually own a external mic and a copy of soundtrack so it's my fault for cutting corners.

@fallout, yes i play chief, i directed the film, and when im not on screen i am the camera man. The character of chief was pretty spontanious all i worte in the script was "angry police chief", and it just grew from there.

Thanks for the feedback people, its been much better than most film making sites, you seem to know the technology better than they do, but i love all your opinions soo keep em' cmoing.
