I love magic so much. I'm so stoked you guys are making a movie about it. very engaging and something I've always been curious about

Umm...beautiful execution, but the slight of hand must've been too fast for me. I didn't notice the trick.

I like music videos as much as the next guy. I don't know about beyond that, but I felt like I had opened the wrong mission. I do like the production on this video. It just seemed to miss the point and I missed the coin trick.

I've only just met Bella. I'm really surprised by the pipes she has and I love her ukelele play...very original

I thought the reason for the mission was to tell us what the trick was . I was to into the singing and images that I missed the trick completely.

Michelle G.

She's a great singer, but I think you've missed the point of the mission. Also I didn't even get the coin trick because there was so much image overlay and editing it was hard to tell what was going on. I would suggest sticking to what the actual mission says next time, instead of using this solely as a promotional platform for someone's music career.

Michael M.

Actually, the coin trick was a bit too cheap..ie swallow the coin the slash open the arm with a false bottom knife that oozes some blood...a bit too obvious for FX of cinema..it was a bit of a horror send up. Since we had no time to meet so we recycled...we could have said we are now using prosumer all in one Lumix FZ200 with flashlights...can't get much cheaper but don't want to admit that low budget is no budget...trying to compensate for all the criticism that our trailer got because it was cobbled together st the last minute from Youtube stuff because quality bits were on failed hard drive.

You've got a good idea for a documentary. It's not quite my genre but with all the new reality tv shows and shows showcasing magic - I definitely think you're onto something. It just feels like your mission videos are a smattering of last minute ideas or thoughts and I think if you really want to be taken seriously in this competition you've got to up your game. You're competing against some really amazing teams that consistently produce high quality mission videos.

Man, this sounds like DIDO! Note: I think they wanted you to EXPLAIN to your audience how you will be able to produce a film with such a small feature budget vs. SHOWING cheap tricks via an edit. I haven't really learned much from this video re: how to produce on the cheap. Good luck.

Michael M.

Thought it would be obvious ...one set. small cast, own music....and subterfuge of software effects..guess not

Doesn't really state how you will budget or save money on your project

Natalie B.

How does this help save time or money, though?

Bella does do great vocals but I think it completely missed the mark of the mission.

Kevin G.

I love her voice! This is a good music video, enjoyed the song and would love to hear more from Bella Muerta! Best of luck from Team DollFace!

Jasmine T.

Thats great Michel M. why do you need a million and theatrical release? You're wasting your time. You guys aren't really showing me whats required here. If you're not up to really compete don't make excuses and whine about it. Kazam you should get disassociate yourself from Micheal M. he seems quite negative below. I was going to leave something positive and constructive until I saw his comment.

Michael M.
Posted 7 months ago

To the whiners and confused. This is not film, it is video,,,one room, one actor, one magic trick, The rest is Adobe effect and filters...can't get any cheaper than that...no multi-locations, no tons of extras, no explosions real, or After Effects make believe which look cheap....no zzzzzombies.
We don't have a film in the can. We have old live stuff stuck on a busted hard drive. We were told by Mr. Joly that this was a contest to win in order to make a movie...not necessarily for existing movies to find distribution.
We are a team of 3, no more, who work in different locals. We cannot meet every week. We use what we have...some recycled, something new, something borrowed, something blue

nice music would have liked to have it been more related to the project.

Michael M.

Who says it isn't related to the project.

what...???

Wesley S.

A music video... ? I was waiting for a trick!

Michael M.
Posted 7 months ago

Don't you think that was a trick?

Wesley S.
Posted 7 months ago

LOL! Really? I love a good trick, I get lost in the fantasy of it all, but I don't think the music video was an explosive showing of your or her talents! David Copperfield disappear her or something!

Natalia N.
Posted 7 months ago

I feel like you guys don't actually watch mission briefs and just choose to do your own thing. This doesn't follow any of the mission requirements. What are your cheap tricks? what gives high production value for a low budget? This is a music video

Michael M.
Posted 7 months ago

I think you take yourself too seriously. Take the pickle out of your butt and use your imagination.

Ginette M.

cool

Derek F.

I'm with Ashley T. on this. "I dont really see how it followed the mission. but she is very talented"

Lee E.

I'm confused how this shows how you'll keep costs down in the film?

Layla C.

i'm also confused

Pete M.

interesting

Candace B.

solid.

Elie K.
Posted 7 months ago

How were you economical with the film?

Michael M.
Posted 7 months ago

Have you no imagination...it's not film, it's video in one room - cuts, effects, filters

Maureen M.

Good idea

Dougie M.

Nice

Bryan L.

Way cool

Ashley T.

I dont really see how it followed the mission. but she is very talented

Ross H.

I'm watching because I'm interested, but please take a few minutes to stay up with the missions.

Bella is great. Wish you luck, Michael. We jumped in late, too but it's been an adventure and a great learning experience..

Ziad T.

What a great discovery Bella's voice! Surprised you didn't use her in your trailer. I'd love to hear more of her, just not sure she'll fit the docu-comedy mood of your film...

Michael M.
Posted 7 months ago

The trailer was a last minute decision to enter the Cinecoup contest...we jumped in without planning to make the deadline.

Scotty W.
Posted 7 months ago

Music video. Not quite what I was expecting.

Kevin N.
Posted 7 months ago

Huh?

Sam L.
Posted 7 months ago

Cool! But I would have liked to have learned more about what makes you wise spenders.

Ted S.
Posted 7 months ago

Beautiful song... does Bella have any music available online? It's melodic and somber... very touching. The instrumental production is top notch as is the cinematography and editing in this clip. I especially love the color sync glitches and the smoke cloaked babe in angel wings. What does this have to do with the film?

Michael M.

Magic

Michael M.

soundcloud.com/bellamuerta for her music . There is a magic trick in the video -swallowing a coin then taking from arm with knif..too obvious so we obscured it with cheap tricks of software cause we have no budget and just entered our trailer on a last minute whim - thoughtful planning would have been better but who knows if there will be a second chance.
