Post here too just for category reasons.
Constructive Criticism needed=D

You need a light kit.

Yea, i shot this with the canon a1 and i think a total of 20 dollars of those metal construction lights, bulbs included! =D

I think you did a great job, some people dig low light, high contrast lighting.

Not sure low light and high contrast go together

Thanks, yea i liked the look, even my photographs in lightroom i bump up the blacks. I like the look, kinda like a deep thinking thing. idk guess its just the style, but yea planning on getting a light kit anyways.=D

I like it. Run with whatever style you feel best portrays what you are trying to convey to the audience. That's what it's all about - not lighting everything perfectly using 3 point lighting - it's about conveying the emotion YOU want to convey. :) Enjoy your own, unique, style. :D

I thought the lighting was good.

The only problem I had with it is that it didn't really had an ending. I know it was like based off of A Beautiful Mind (lol the music doesn't give it away or anything), but there wasn't really an ending.

hahaha well in fact there was an ending, it just wasn't very obvious. No one in my family got it either. hahahah it was just a really extensive decisions on a ttic tac toe move =)

I totally agree with Carl. I had no problems with the lighting... actually, I liked it. Use a light kit when the mood calls for it.

Yea, the light looked really cool. I hate when low-budget films try and light everything... It looks really fake.

Hi Loren,
Just thought I'd throw in my two cents. I liked the look of it. I especially liked your shot composition. All except for that last two-shot.. which I thought didn't match the artistic framing choices of the other shots.

Overall, a nice little piece.

There. There's my two cents.

Thanks to all =) Advice taken to thought and compliments very appreciated =)
