Singularity

Guys this was unbelievable. I was wide eyed and on the edge of my seat the entire time.I could not believe what I was seeing.

Visually fantastic. I love the sets and the production design so much. The retro VHS future aesthetic is great, and there was just so much to see in every single frame. All the graphics on all of the monitors, all the blinking lights, the costumes. Bravo.

The miniatures and the composting work were amazing. To do any kind of compositing in 48 is impressive, but to comp onto those awesome space visuals is massive.

The story and script and edit were all working really well, the camera work is beautiful. Your team picked a tone and aesthetic and pointed all of your creative vehicles towards it.
The scale and the scope of this thing is just unbelievable

Now all that being said. I have some slightly conflicted and undecided feelings after hearing you were building the sets in the month leading up to the comp. Obviously the sets are incredible, and they are an unbelievable backdrop to this film that I don’t think I have seen an equal to in the competition before.

However, part of the magic for me personally about 48 hours, is the 48 hours And when I was watching your film I was thinking, “How on earth did they do all this in the weekend how many of them are there?” Then after I heard that you had been building the sets prior I kind of went, “oh.” It was like finding out how a magic trick was done, it took some of the wonder out of it.

The reason I am saying this is that I would love to see you guys attempt something like this again in the one weekend. Now obviously that would reduce the scope of your film quite a bit. But when something like this is pulled off in the weekend it can be really enchanting, and really magic. See JAGBOGS Erik & Leo from 2018 as an example of this kind of thing. Not that it's a different kind of film with a smaller scope, but when that kind of production design is pulled off in the weekend it just feels really magic.

Now please don’t get me wrong. Your film definitely still felt magic. And my feelings about this likely come from an old school 48 hour brain. Back when you would get DQ’d for using anything outside of the 48 hours. That rule has changed, and you guys have shown what can be done if you utilize that. I will probably come around to the idea of that kind of prep work. But I would still love to see your team can do with this kind of production design in one weekend

The True Story of Billy the Horse

This was so funny guys. This was so so funny. Was laughing through the entire thing.
If anyone else is wondering, it turns out that a person in a Horse costume pointing a gun is the funniest visual gag that there is. It’s the number one.

I loved seeing Sean as a Wild West Outlaw, and I love how much he committed to the bit. The voice and the performance was amazing. All of the performances in this were great.

Visually it was awesome, I loved the shot of the two leads under a blanket when the camera was inside the Horse costume.

Speaking of the Horse costume. That was one of the greatest 48 Hour costumes ever. Every time the camera cut to its beady eyes, I started laughing again.

Another home run for PlanetFoxFilms 10/10 no notes.
