Szalontüdö (2006)
the lunch date (1990) rip off
for now i'm giving this 0/10 because this short has already been made i must admit it was made technically well but this scenario is a rip off of the lunch date made in 1990. It's actually less good than the lunch date. I hope the director marked this as a remake; if not he should be addressed about author rights. A pity i have to type 10 lines I really have nothing else to say about it the timing and characters of the lunch date are better. The food sounds of the eating face off are exactly the same. Shame on you. I hope somebody reads this, and comes to the same conclusion. Just buy or rent the movie DVD American shorts of cinema 16
Before Dawn (2005)
simple, powerful, nicely shot
I was looking for a plan sequence for inspiration in trying to make one myself and accidentally stumbled onto this one. (thanks to the nice sundance film festival website) It's a fine example of usage of a sequence shot. It moves from situational shot to the conclusion and there never really is a need to cut. The story is very powerful in it's summable simplicity and lends itself beautifully to this kind of camera-work. I would recommend it to everyone who likes this kind of inventive movie-making. As a student i think this is also an ideal movie to show to students why you should sometimes choose for a sequential shot instead of cutting your story to death.
