Tiny Pricks

I had to watch this a second time to understand the story but mmm the succulents are so succulent. Some great shots in this film and some fun word play. Who knew a succulent could jiggle so well in slow motion.

Obviously, I appreciated it from the off with a title like 'Tiny Pricks'. I was caught a bit off guard, because this one just took off and I really loved the way they did it. I lovely little Greensleeves nod in there too! Very fun and some really good shots.

Simple but fun and really cleanly filmed. Would have loved some credits! Is this a one-person project?

Love the location! Love the 360 cam! Love the use of drone! You really gotta get some more people involved in these!! There's some awesome stuff here that's being held back by the lack of crew. P.S, can I film a scifi movie at your cactus farm? Hit me up

This was technically stylish and well executed! The duel roles really leant into the exoticism of the location! Like is this place a cloning farm??? Is that why he steals one succulent, then suddenly there's a billion?
Probably not!

If I'm right that this was a solo team then this is incredible. And if I'm wrong then it's still insanely good! Such a good chase sequence and the cactus comedy is my cup of tea! Great work!

Yes, this was a one-person project! Hey I'd really appreciate any specific feedback - story, ending, anything I can work on to improve next time. Thanks!

A really solid solo effort! What a feat to tackle the action genre as a one man machine. Like many action films this year, it does bleed a little into a more cat-and-mouse type story, but given you had only yourself to tell the tale, it’s very impressive. We particularly loved the moment with the slow-mo plant falling — that was a lot of fun.

Specific feedback as requested above...
The story is a tad unclear. We get that the cactus is due to be somewhere by 3pm — but where is that place? And when it gets stolen, where is the robber going? Why? All things that are hard to answer without some dialogue and close ups of the faces etc.

The main thing we always suggest with solo creators is: simple is best. Having to do an action movie doesn’t really accommodate that for a solo shooter. Whatever genre you get in the future, perhaps a really solid performance on a smaller scale will take it to the next level. (We’d refer to Olax’s film from this year as an example of that, or Fox Emoji Wolf Emoji’s duo film from last year.)

THE BEST THING: Always amazing to see one person pull off a story with two characters.

THE NEXT THING: If you plan to keep going solo, it’s better to scale back and do small things really well to preserve your energy — and may the genre forever be in your favour!
