Hi first time posting anything here but been reading the baord and following the site for years.

First let me tell yo about myself, I a huge Bond fan, love horror movies and summer blockbusters past and present. I'm very arty and love making movies. I run a website that I show case my films on of which I have made one feature and 3 'shorts' which are part of a Tales from the Crypt style horror show called 'Season of the Witch' we are currently working on episode four 'Charlie' which is about a day dreamer with a dangerous imagination.

In Charlie we always planned a 'test' scene for a planned bond short called 'In More Ways Than One' orginallhy the scene was short and spoofed OO7 but after the release of Casino Royale it has morphed to become a longer sequence involving our own homage to the Madagascar scene in the film.

Its currently hosted at a horror site but will eventually be up on google's video site in better quaility. Sorry guys but I can't stand youtubes video limitations.

So anyway here we are with our little homage, I'd love gto hear your comments, jokes, critisms and if any praise and if you are a horror fan feel free to check out the other films.

OK, here it goes:
- try working harder on your storyboards and keep the camera in touch with with them, while filming action scenes it's absolutely crucial!
- if it isn't aspoof anymore tell the "James Bond" to move less clumsy, while he was running his steps were unnaturally long, it looked as it was a spoof, not the real thing,
- the "pause" moments are too long/short - I mean those:
* after receiving a blow, when "Bond" is leaning against this short wall, this should be much shorter (afterall he is Bond so he's tough )
* when "Bond" is stopping to look around he should stay this a bit longer, so we could see his face,
- try using a steadycam or get a tripod,
- why is "Bond" not sitting in the car waiting for the guy? The car should be more efficient a cover than a telephone booth ;> (I understand it wasn't your car )
- work on the sound, if you don't one from the "stage" try recording it on your own, some place else, and dubbing it in (especially the birds and the blows' sounds)

Other than this it is a nice piece filming. It's dynamic, but not chaotic. It's relatively well prepared. It is promising

Oh don't get me wrong everything here is a spoof but its just like a 'dry' run for stuff to come later.

As for Bond's movements that 'Bond' is me and isn't not easy running in those shoes lol.

Thanx for the comments!

Some editing sometimes drags, but overall, I say there is talent out there, for a no budget spoof, I was quite amused.
