Dillon Baldassero

Incredible score designer, Dillon was able to find some time between features to help us out. Can't wait to work with you again!

Molly hears something

Another big thank you to Mollie Pratt for her great job in this trailer!

Not her fearless leader

Wanted to draw on the wall but the Rangers of Death Valley were having none of it. Some great post graphics design by Hanna Barczyk.

Spidey Vs Dalton

Matt (Dalton) took a few good hits from Jermaine (Spidey) during this shoot. Kept getting back up for more.

Lisa Krawchuk - Make Up/Awesome

One of the greatest people alive. She flew from Toronto to Los Angeles for this shoot. Then we also happened upon Coachella. Good times!

Looking forward to seeing more. Think you guys can do a lot with this story line and have a lot of fun doing so. Best of luck.

Raj S.

Really good production value. You managed to get your point across without speech. Would have been great to have seen some novel shots!

Michael V.
Posted 5 months ago

Great cinematography but I would've liked to see more other than just what was in the trailer. But I totally get that you couldn't just drive down to LA and shoot again!

Andrew O.
Posted 5 months ago

Great cinematography in this mission. Although nothing was said, your pictures were worth a thousand words.

David R.
Posted 5 months ago

This was really cool, but I just wish it wasnt just shots from your trailer!!! If you filmed in Canada it would been easier. Drumheller badlands anyone?

Serena L.
Posted 5 months ago

This looks great, but very similar to your trailer - that isn't a huge surprise though, since you couldn't drive down to LA again to shoot!

Doug M.
Posted 5 months ago

I loved this clip, the music was great and the scenery in the background was stunning. I look forward to seeing the entire film!

Ann G.
Posted 5 months ago

I really enjoyed the way you shot this mission. This film will look good on the big screen one day.

Bart G.
Posted 5 months ago

Wow, your cinematography is incredible. This movie is absolutely stunning. Where did you shoot? That's a pretty bleak and beautiful place, all at once

Marly V.
Posted 5 months ago

Very awesome locations. The production value is through the roof. I am so impressed with the costumes.

Mary L.
Posted 5 months ago

Like costumes in Game of Thrones! Is that person for real or a mirage or a ghost? Let's go with the mirage or ghost who sees the future and can help shape their destiny.

Zombetty B.

Looking forward to seeing more on this one. I really like Apocalypse themes and I think shooting in the desert was an excellent choice.

Lily K.
Posted 6 months ago

This is another great looking mission from this team. I enjoyed the look again - I guess this was footage from your initial shoot - but it works great!

Christopher K.
Posted 6 months ago

The cinematography was really beautiful in this scene. I also really liked the ending when she sees the other person.

Nate J.
Posted 6 months ago

After mankind was obliterated our hero decides to go for a walk through the desert in her winter jacket. After a gripping encounter with a vandalized wall she happens upon a gentleman using an Ipad..

Melissa W.
Posted 6 months ago

I usually really hate apocalypse type films. They just aren't my cup of tea. The crazy thing about this one? I loved it by the end of the trailer and the team keeps proving to me, with every mission, that I SHOULD feel that way. This movie almost seems less about the apocalypse and more about exploring our humanity and the struggles of it. Amazing work guys.

Alejandro P.
Posted 6 months ago

Great concept I like how the idea is transmitted on the video, the actors where great and could understand the concept from the beginning, the angles helped me a lot to get immersed into the plot, and get to understand the feeling that is supposed to be in every moment. Great job!

Lindsey D.
Posted 6 months ago

Gorgeous scenery! Really liked your mission video. Captured my attention throughout. I look forward to seeing more!

Dennis H.
Posted 6 months ago

Watching your Mission 4 video has left me “Speechless”! Can’t wait to see what else this film has in store!

Gael M.
Posted 6 months ago

Wow. This film looks beautiful. Very wonderfully shot and full of tension. This is a wonderful film.

Tawnya T.
Posted 6 months ago

very simple, the scenery is the best part of this as I feel like I have been dropped in to Planet of the Apes or something....repeat ;o(

Wojciech N.
Posted 6 months ago

Everything about this is well done. The music, the actors, the wardrobe and the location. Great camera angles

manon c.
Posted 6 months ago

Most of the actors are okay in this and I like the music, Not really into the film itself as too many like this out there like this...Red Dawn??

Mitch A.
Posted 6 months ago

I really like the way you shot this. Between the wardrobe, location and music, you really set the tone for the film.

Kyle F.
Posted 6 months ago

This is nice because it features a female lead, you don't see that too often anymore. I think it would be better if it was more attention grabbing though. Other then that it looks good!

Astra L.
Posted 6 months ago

Very enjoyable video! Great cinematography and I really like the costumes, the cliffhanger ending was very interesting too!

Kate G.
Posted 6 months ago

Really like the looks of this film! Looking forward to seeing more. Wishing you and your team the best of luck!

Jonah G.
Posted 6 months ago

Great job on this video. The wardrobe and the use of a location separates you from the pack. Good luck.

Dean S.
Posted 6 months ago

You really put huge efforts into making your stuff look good and that's definitely one of the reasons you're up there. Good work!

Tory A.
Posted 6 months ago

Costumes...awesome! Location...great! This doesn't really make me feel anything very strongly though. Maybe a different choice of music could help?!

Lukee W.
Posted 6 months ago

The costumes, in my opinion are the best thing about this. The film itself reminds me of a remake of The Road, which may be a compliment but it is already done :o)

Zach H.
Posted 6 months ago

Overall this has solid production value. I would completely use these costumes and locations if you make this movie.

Kevin L.
Posted 6 months ago

Nice way to build us all up with great visuals and sound and then leave us... hanging! But seriously looks great!

Alvin D.
Posted 6 months ago

Good job guys. Loved the sound design and shots used to create some suspense. You deserve Top 10 for sure!

Joann K.
Posted 6 months ago

Is this all the same footage? I Appreciate you worked hard on it but new footage would have made the difference for me

Mike T.
Posted 6 months ago

your movie quality looks great and i like the whole premiss of this movie. cant wait toi see more of it

Michael I.
Posted 6 months ago

Nice job on this despite seemingly not having any new footage. I am definitely impressed by your visuals and editing.

George D.
Posted 6 months ago

You guys definitely have an eye, and I think your performances in this and your trailer are also quite good (even if this is not as much of a showcase for it)

Dug R.
Posted 6 months ago

I like this sequence. Visually you have some really great compositions The reveal at the end is a well constructed surprise.

Ken N.
Posted 6 months ago

I like how you worked "post" into the name of your show. Like you was knowing that CineCoup was gonna get you to do some post things on your movie. Cute!
(do people get sarcasm, or is this just coming off as rude? Let me put it another way: I like!)

Madelyn R.
Posted 6 months ago

I feel like you could have done more with this mission. Beautiful cinematography though and quite outstanding locations

Vincent B.
Posted 6 months ago

Though I think you've pulled most of this from the cutting room floor, it does still nicely showcase your lead and locations photography.

Siluck S.
Posted 6 months ago

This looks great. Very powerful images and an intriguing story for sure. Looking forward too seeing much more!

mark m.
Posted 6 months ago

This was a bit of a slow starter for me, but I guess the challenge was getting out to the location again. Nevertheless you did convey the disorientation and beauty of the location well again.

Jack W.
Posted 6 months ago

First of all, amazing visuals. I guess going on location like that really makes a big difference. Cool.

Joe M.
Posted 6 months ago

I love this. Reminiscent of 68's Planet Of the Apes:)

Andrew C.
Posted 6 months ago

In addition to a great video, I also like the supporting pictures you always include. Nice to see who else is making this movie with you.

jane D.
Posted 6 months ago

love to see more

Huaguang S.
Posted 6 months ago

Great cinematography in a beautiful location. Agree with another comment, being in the wastelands, Molly should be very dirty and raggy.

Zaid L.
Posted 6 months ago

I like your cinematography, I would have like to see more as it left with a feeling of being cut off with such an abrupt ending. Great use of music and scene play to create suspense/tension. Hope to see more from your team!

Sarah W.
Posted 6 months ago

Still love your cinematography work but would've liked to see more than the trailer. But with the filming location it's understandable!

Melanie O.
Posted 6 months ago

Panned out the scene too quickly, the original view was best. Music needs a little work, but the costumes are great. It ended too abruptly

Tah the T.
Posted 7 months ago

I agree with several of the previous commenters—it was executed very well in terms of suspense, both in the video and the music, but it felt like it cut before it really ended.

Lindsay F.
Posted 7 months ago

I really enjoyed the suspense that the ending created. I also love how professional this scene looks!

Bruce E.
Posted 7 months ago

Great cinematography. You did a nice job of creating suspense through the use of music but would have liked to have seen a bit more of the scene ie. the reaction to having a bow drawn and aimed at the seated character... The scene seemed short and incomplete.

Tina K.
Posted 7 months ago

love love love love love love this. so awesome. you guys are the best! I'm the number 1 fan at heart!

Tony B.
Posted 7 months ago

Good job guys. This along with everything else you do is shot really well. And very suspenseful music.

charlie e.
Posted 7 months ago

Looooved this. The music built the perfect amount of suspense and the location was amazing. I can't wait to see more.

Ann B.
Posted 7 months ago

wow, so beautiful - what an amazing location, beautifully shot - one very tiny quibble-molly's way too clean

Brandon G.
Posted 7 months ago

This video is really good, I watched it a few days ago and then again today and it gets better when you watch it again.

Adrian B.
Posted 7 months ago

Such an epic looking movie, what an awesome backdrop. Great shots and suspenseful. Well done to everyone in this one.

Monika T.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice boys :) really good job on this video. I love the music and the landscapes are beautiful. Love it!

Martin N.
Posted 7 months ago

Fantastic photography, loved the music! You got a sense of the isolation, the fear and the determination!

Martha P.
Posted 7 months ago

Loved this! The music was fantastic! Loved the way it built the tension. Molly is one powerful chick!

Layla C.
Posted 7 months ago

Very simple but powerful scene. The music is definitely what gives it it's intensity. Good luck in getting to the Top40

Knighten R.
Posted 7 months ago

Love the costumes!

Raine W.
Posted 7 months ago

Dillon you did an excellent job creating the music and the feel for this video. Obviously cinematography is great too.

Anna T.
Posted 7 months ago

Very nice work boys. I'm very proud of you all. I can't wait for you to win this competition and make the movie :)

Rysiek C.
Posted 7 months ago

Job well done on this week's mission. You've proven to be a talented bunch of film makers. Looking forward to the next one.

Alexandra B.
Posted 7 months ago

Great score here, sounds building tension gives it a real desolate feeling, which I believe is what you were going for, and if it wasn't intentional, WRITE THAT DOWN! lol. Great job boys.

Sandy P.
Posted 7 months ago

The tension here is great, It's almost "too" silent but pulled off quite respectfully well. I'm about this, infact, I've been about everything this groups done, I actually look forward weekly to seeing your new missions, I'm amped for Monday night to see whats been cooked up this week.

Anthony N.
Posted 7 months ago

I thought they used the trailer and just edited to make it shorter. It would of been nice to show us something new.

Maggie K.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice performance and excellent camerawork. I also think the score makes this feel like a blockbuster film amongst indies.

Aiden C.
Posted 7 months ago

Well done for speechless mission. I also just want to say your team is doing a fantastic job of answering fans questions and comments. That is great to see. Good luck and I look forward to your next mission.

Heather B.
Posted 7 months ago

Wardrobe is too clean/new for a post-apocalyptic situation, isn't it? GREAT music!

Zach L.
Posted 7 months ago

Her face and hair look too clean for an apocalypse, especially in a desert with no water and sand/dirt potentially blowing everywhere. It looks like she's wearing makeup?

Michelle R.
Posted 7 months ago

SO GOOD! Can't wait for this.

patricia s.
Posted 7 months ago

I love every thing about this trailer,the sound effect is great,cannot wait to see what you guys come up with next,really excited,this is my favorite trailer.

Nancy R.
Posted 7 months ago

thought the sound track added to the scene. camera work mostly good, just thought the shaking detracted to much

Geoff W.
Posted 7 months ago

Agree with Clutch; some visual or aural indication that something was not-quite-right would have helped justify the building tension. it was a little difficult to understand if this hooded figure had just appeared or snuck up on her or what... maybe some creepy POV shots lurking around edges might have worked? the scene's geography is a little foggy here I guess, which is a pitfall in low-budget action films sometimes so thought I'd throw in my two cents. I like the aspect ratio choice though (I just shot something in a desert for this ratio so am relieved to see it can pan out!). Ooh hopefully you get your hands on some stabilizer gear / IS lenses soon though, that jelly shutter effect is kinda distracting although I understand the appeal of handheld stuff... In my opinion though, awesome work all in all!

Clutch W.
Posted 7 months ago

I like that you tried to just shoot a scene, not a montage like most others. The jump cuts of her with the bow got a bit confusing though - too much of a good thing. I was like, okay what they hell is she doing, pointing it all over the place like that? But I'm stoked on your setting. I don't know where you shot but it looks dope. Also nice crunchy footsteps in the opening shot. I'm not joking. I mean the sound effect is effective - one of those little details often overlooked.

Aaron M.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice choice of sound track and the big wide shots are really remarkable. Would have liked a different ending?

Marge T.
Posted 7 months ago

great job of portraying the fear and loneliness of Molly. The sound track is fantastic- perfect for this scene.

Bob O.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice camera work.

XinLi H.
Posted 7 months ago

It's interesting. Definitely caught a bit of my attention. I'm intrigue to see where the plot of this leads. Keep up the good work!

Lindsay B.
Posted 7 months ago

I love the scenes from this team's project...they're stunning.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Lindsay!

Cam L.
Posted 7 months ago

Personally I think this project is IDEALLY suited to this challenge! the desolate location, wandering characters... hight intensity... Fantastic job guys!!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Cam! We we're really excited about this mission!

James M.
Posted 7 months ago

good intensity in this weeks video. I'm excited to see what else you guys come up with also the banner is really cool

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks James!

Jay C.
Posted 7 months ago

Kudos the the composter, or "the maestro' haha. The music brought so much feeling to the film. Great visuals.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

He earned the title for a reason.

David C.
Posted 7 months ago

Seemed like a lot of nothing for the opening of this since there is no frame of reference for the audience before it starts. great shots though!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for the feedback David!

Phil B.
Posted 7 months ago

Lovely photography. Not sure why people have a problem with reusing footage from your trailer.... hope she hits her target!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Haha thanks Phil we appreciate that!

Dalton P.
Posted 7 months ago

Awesome scenery, the vastness of the area shows both the despair and hope in Molly's face and well as fear as she draws on her bow. Great score which accelerate those emotions.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Purdy's dad!!!!!! haha Thanks!

Jason L.
Posted 7 months ago

Just watched it again! So good!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Jason!

charles w.
Posted 7 months ago

Pretty desert shots. Not enough story here though. Not enough developing character. Could have stretched more time or change or something.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for the feedback Charles. The greatest challenge in this mission was definitely getting story through.

Paul H.
Posted 7 months ago

Really incredible visuals. The wide shots are remarkable. The tighter shots felt a little overused but nice work.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Cool. Thanks for the feedback.

Paulina J.
Posted 7 months ago

This has still proven to be one of my favourite projects. You guys continue to kick ass week to week

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Paulina. We really appreciate the support. Really nice of you to say that!

Michelle E.
Posted 7 months ago

Superbly shot. The lone wandering was palpable and the music cue matched up with the swirling camera work wonderfully. Intense!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Michelle. We are very lucky to have Dillon on our side.

CR B.
Posted 7 months ago

Mysterious tense sequence. Really gives us a sense of isolation in the world you;re creating. Friend or foe...hmmm.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks! Glad that came though!

Akash S.
Posted 7 months ago

Did you guys go out and film more? Or did you just take a lot of stock when you shot your trailer? haha. Either way, beautiful shots.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Akash! Our original cut of the trailer was 4 minutes so we just used some extra footage but changed the mood with the music.

Lee H.
Posted 7 months ago

Not a huge fan of how you just used extra footage from the trailer, maybe you should have filmed in Canada so you could have wrote a new scene. Good sounds though.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

To be honest if we were to film in Canada it would be in Alberta and that is still quite the drive from Toronto. Definitely is a bit of a disadvantage shooting so far away. Thanks for the feedback.

Chris B.
Posted 7 months ago

Hey buddy really good job on this. I've been following all your missions and they're really good. Keep doin' what you're doing

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Chris we really appreciate the support!

Janai R.
Posted 7 months ago

Awesome. Just plain awesome! Love the look of this. And an excellent score to go along with it. Nicely done!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Janai!

Dean M.
Posted 7 months ago

Very suspenseful sequence. It may be similar stuff to the trailer but obviously you guys are limited to shooting locations.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Dean! Thanks for understanding!

David T.
Posted 7 months ago

Great job showing Molly in her element. The score is what really sold this one. The video was good so much credit to the score.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks David!

Frank D.
Posted 7 months ago

hey guys really great job on this one. Good to see Molly, your protagonist living in her element in this world. Keep it up

Like the way this grows. Stops too soon, but def leaves ya hanging! The dissolves of walking across the dunes work great!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Tony! Appreciate the feedback!

Christine W.
Posted 7 months ago

Fabulous cinematography! You get the sense of loneliness but at the sametime feel

the strength of Molly. Music is fantastic!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Christine! So nice of you to say that we really appreciate it!

Ben S.
Posted 7 months ago

So much walking. wait was she going to kil him for eating a sandwich!? Can you blame her for that? I couldn't

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

I also like sandwiches.

Sandeep M.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks like a real film. Sounds like a real film! I really think you guys have what it takes to pull of a feature film.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Sandeep. Means a lot that you think so!

Jimmy P.
Posted 7 months ago

Great job guys! I never really had any doubt. Great job to lead too. I think that's a hard scene to pull off!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Jimmy, so nice of you to say!

Sam S.
Posted 7 months ago

prettiest mission I've seen so far this week. And possibly the best score. Didnt tell as much story as some, but well done!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for the feedback Sam!

Aden S.
Posted 7 months ago

i agree that the score really made this scene. but that's what this missino was about, showing how far sound design and music cant take a scene. good job guys

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Aden!! Really appreciate the support!

Heidi H.
Posted 7 months ago

Great job Dillon!!! Great pic too haha. The score added a lot to this scene. I think it might have been a bit boring without :p

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Dillon did such a great job for us! Thanks Dillon!

Sarah T.
Posted 7 months ago

well done team PA. from another video remember that you drove to LA to shoot the trailer, good job assembling this mission from I'm assuming leftover footage.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Definitely a lot of scraped together footage lol. We're happy with what we came up with but are looking forward to shooting more!

Lauren M.
Posted 7 months ago

Loooooove the costumes. I hope when the world ends I get to look as cool haha. Music really suited the movie!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Lauren!

Ralph G.
Posted 7 months ago

whos the hottie? have i seen her in anything before? I could watch her walk through the desert all day!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Haha thanks Ralph! Mollie is an up and coming actress from LA. I think we'll be seeing her in a lot of films very soon.

Shane R.
Posted 7 months ago

shot really well. looks really pretty. great music. somehow made a walk through the desert dramatic

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Shane!

Mikel T.
Posted 7 months ago

really liked the music. felt like an actual movie score, not just something cobbled together for a weekly mission

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Dillon killed it for us! Thank Mikel!

Chris J.
Posted 7 months ago

very cool. beautiful cinematography. if the worlds ended. at least it's beautiful right? haha and really like the music

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

haha totally. Thanks Chris!

Milan J.
Posted 7 months ago

The costume and location were great, although I was expecting a little more to happen, some sort of exciting event...

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Cool thanks for the feedback Milan!

Andrew M.
Posted 7 months ago

Great Cine, costumes and location. Wish I had more story though. Who is this woman? How did she get here? Etc. Looks great though, good work throughout.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for the feedback Andrew!

Vanessa W.
Posted 7 months ago

Some really beautiful shots guys. Love the sun coming up on the mountain, just gorgeous. There could be a little more story divulged in this, I wanted to know a little more about her.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for the feedback Vanessa!

Tim R.
Posted 7 months ago

The shots were awesome, but a lot of it looks like it was from the trailer! I know you guys have a tough time since you shot in LA but it would've been nice to see a bit more.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

We tried lol. Thanks for the feedback.

Margaret S.
Posted 7 months ago

Beautiful backdrop for this story. I like the sounds that emerge from the silent barren desert and the use of music to illustrate emotion and events.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Very eloquently put :) thanks Margaret!

Colin Y.
Posted 7 months ago

I know people are giving you a bit of hate for not doing much different visually from the trailer, but I have to give you props for being able to make a scene when your location is so far away!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

haha ya. Its a fair criticism but we tried. Thanks for the support!

Emily H.
Posted 7 months ago

Love the suspense it builds. This is a great transition in storyline, very suddenly and creepy at the end does she realize she's not alone. Love it!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Emily. Really appreciate the support. Glad you liked it!

phil d.
Posted 7 months ago

I love how yours was the only one I HAD to watch full screen. Love the feel of the landscape.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

I like that! Really nice of you to say Phil thank you!

Leith P.
Posted 7 months ago

Really good job. Great music choice and location for filming this scene. It left me wanting to see so more.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

That's awesome thanks Leith!

Gord G.
Posted 7 months ago

Excellent scene. It built tension and really made me want to know what happens next. Can't wait for more.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Gord really appreciate the feedback!

Lisa B.
Posted 7 months ago

This was a really nice scene and I think you got across what you wanted to, but it seems very similar to the trailer.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for the feedback Lisa

Darryl L.
Posted 7 months ago

Overall pretty solid cinematography. The actors are great. The scores is incredibly fitting. good job!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Darryl!

Daniel F.
Posted 7 months ago

Awesome job conveying the abandoned, lonely feeling through this. Very nice scenic shots, and music to go along.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Daniel!

Tanya G.
Posted 7 months ago

The scenes are great, the view of the mountains and the sun shining. The fact that the women is alone and the music get more intense and then another being. Entriguing.

John K.
Posted 7 months ago

Great choice of location. Really liked the scenery and the cinematography Wasn't a big fan of the ending but all in all it was a solid piece

Ewa B.
Posted 7 months ago

Beautiful scenery, costumes and soundtrack. I was left wanting more and can't wait to see what else you guys come up with

Erica O.
Posted 7 months ago

I think the end didn't turn out to be as shocking as it was leading up to be, but the visuals are so beautiful and it's shot so clearly that I can't not enjoy it.

Zolie G.
Posted 7 months ago

Really great scenery and use of it! Wasn't a fan of the quick cuts at the end only to reveal a sitting guy but it built the tension.

Sarah M.
Posted 7 months ago

The scenery is beautiful and powerful. You can feel the loneliness, isolation and fear! Great music!

Brenden M.
Posted 7 months ago

Cool visuals. Molly is really good in this. Acting is subtle and really effective. Really good job!!

Kyle B.
Posted 7 months ago

Great job guys. Music was sickkk!!!! The chicks bad ass too. That guys doesn't know what he's in for lol

Pawel L.
Posted 7 months ago

I enjoyed the eerie sounds in the beginning. This score did an incredible job at building up the suspense.

Giovanna G.
Posted 7 months ago

Really looking forward to seeing this. This scene was intriguing, well shot and edited (visual and sound)! Awesome work!

Maryla N.
Posted 7 months ago

Great scoring and the landscape is absolutely breathtaking. I could see why you guys would drive all the way down to shoot there

Amy K.
Posted 7 months ago

That was great! The lack of dialogue never felt forced and the background music was perfect. And it was nice how it ended with sudden suspense after establishing that sense of loneliness/emptiness.

Vik M.
Posted 7 months ago

Very nicely done boys! I love watching your mission videos every weekend! They never disappoint! Nicely done!

Rebecca B.
Posted 7 months ago

Such a great job. I love your actress. She's brilliant. Good job building suspense! Loved every second of this!

Amy Z.
Posted 7 months ago

Great shots!

Lisa C.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks amazing. Very Beautiful and Intense. The score goes perfectly with the scene. Dillon Baldassero, well done!

Tyler S.
Posted 7 months ago

The visual effects worked wonders on this piece. My only criticism would be the costumes. Now I am aware this is a low budget film with only a week to film but the costumes are too clean. My suggestion would be to rub some dirt on them.

Richard P.
Posted 7 months ago

great location

Brenda L.

Great camera work. I really like the contrast of her isolation in the wide landscape shots to the close up, chaotic feel of her encounter.

The composition of the shots was just beautiful. I love how a good location and framing can work so much better than even the most expansive background replacement.

It was visually stunning, but it didn't really add anything new to the story. It seemed to be a lot of the same footage we've seen. I am interested in the story though and I would like to see more.

Dan S.

We're looking forwards to getting to shoot more. Unfortunately thats all the footage we had so we tried to piece something new together.

Steven J.

Great Job once again gents, I already know most of the story because the writers are always around where I live, and I can guarantee to all the skeptics wondering about the plot.... There's a story and a plot thats absolutely amazing... They were ballin on a budget... Come on, they drove to L.A just to film it, what more do you want from a couple broke guys? They're killin it.

Would really like to see more story. Hard to say. The shoot looks so good that I'm hooked but I don't want to be disappointed in the story :) Good luck guys!

Dan S.

We promise not to disappoint on the story. For a low budget shoot its just a bit easier to focus on the visuals but story is my favourite part of filmmaking.

Jason G.

Dan S.

Kelly G.
Posted 7 months ago

I was intrigued by your trailer (though confused by the story b/c it looked like every character was killed by every other character), and was looking forward to something with a little more suspense.
The cinematography is serviceable but from a director who self-identifies as a visionary (yuck), I expected something with tension. Instead I feel like I'm watching the opening shots of any number of modern zombie movie/tv shows.
Good luck, guys.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Hey Kelly. I appreciate the feedback. First off I assure you the visionary comment is mostly in jest. If you dont like that then you definitely wont like my bio. But my feeling is you need to have fun with all this to avoid it feeling stale and stuffy. I'm glad you were intrigued by the trailer. To answer your confusion there is probably a moment where every character at one point is turning on another in the script. This isn't a zombie movie. And to be honest its barely about the apocalypse. Just happens to be set in it. It's more about the characters and how humans can be a really complicated group of people. Independent but in constant need of companionship. And this IS the opening of our movie. Truncated with less dialogue but definitely the gist. Supposed to show how they meet. Sorry about the super long reply.

Bobbi F.

I like the idea of a female lead. I just hope the film doesn't end up looking like a long music video.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Me too. It was really fun getting to write for a female lead. Always been a fan of how Tarantino writes for women. Any suggestions on how to avoid making it look like a long music video?

Bobbi F.
Posted 7 months ago

Yes. Limit any gratuitous objectification for starters. Any character realism that can be added would help me not see her as a Lara Croft type person. Real, real, real.

The expression on the actresses face is amazing, I love her intensity. The shots are lovely. I also wonder where it is filmed?

Dan S.

She's really awesome. We lucked out finding her. We filmed this in Death Valley California!

Lee H.

Where is this filmed? Is it filmed in Canada? If not I wouldn't want it being a new face of Canadian film haha. However I do think it looks cool so props

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Filmed in Death Valley California but we have since researched locations in Canada that are similar and we feel that it is possible to pull off here.

Afzal H.
Posted 7 months ago

The ending (or is it the beginning!) makes a HUGE difference in terms of storytelling because may be its the use of the footage from the trailer that most of us have seen before or may be its the great visuals that made it look like a commercial for a fashion line lol. Then again this location doesn't look like you can go there everyday to shoot!

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

Funny story... we actually had to to tell the park rangers that we were students from UCLA shooting a fashion line so we could keep filming.

Afzal H.

That's awesome!!!

Michelle G.

great landscape, and definitely some really great shots here. However it did leave me feeling like I wanted to see more from you guys - you successfully completed the mission, but I was hoping you were going to WOW and AMAZE me and that didn't quite happen.

Great use of the terrain and wide shots. Paints a big picture with lots of production value. Some of the shots / cuts near the end feel a bit contrived just to reveal the sitting guy.

Great scenery. Beautiful girl. Unfortunate that its all trailer footage. Down side of shooting in L.A, it's a long drive back for more footage.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

It is the downside yes. Tried to pull some new stuff in the end.

Mandy G.
Posted 7 months ago

Will you film the final movie in that location or can some be done in Canada?

Benjamin O.
Posted 7 months ago

Seems like I've seen most of this in the trailer.

Dan S.
Posted 7 months ago

This was a tough one for us. Our location is far away and we only shot scenes for the trailer that have dialogue. We figured we would let the score tell a different story here.

Stacey A.

Makes it seem like she's about to shoot a stranger, but you can never be to careful. I think it's someone she knows. Great video! Gorgeous scenery!

Short but sweet! Beautiful landscape for the clip! Really like the juxtaposition of the beautiful landscapes and the harsh reality of the character's situation. Silence works well for the post-apocalyptic story.
