"Mind Void" was screened at the Balticon 44 Sunday Night Short Film Festival in Baltimore, Maryland, USA this past weekend (30th May) and we're currently on the 5th draft of our new short "Incoherent" [Working Title] which we'd like to shoot December 2010/ January 2011.]]> <![CDATA[Latest news]]> Sat, 05 Jun 2010 04:29:47 GMT Tutorial: Editing 101.]]> <![CDATA[Minor site update]]> Sat, 05 Jun 2010 04:22:50 GMT http://www.krant.co.za/ index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=640%3Arobin- hood&catid=74%3Amovies&Itemid=1&lang=en


"I’m not usually a fan of period pieces or Robin Hood in general but this film proved a worthy contender against the few that I enjoy.

The film, which is refreshingly original, tells the story of how Robin Hood supposedly came to be an outlaw and is set during the battles between France and England in the 12th century. The many interesting sub-plots also string together making the film thoroughly intriguing. You won’t recognise Robin at first and at one stage I wondered if I was in the right cinema as he seemed different to the legend that I knew of, but after some time you realise that it is truly Robin, just a younger and nobler one.

At times it was hard to make out the dialogue due to the heavy accents. The acting was typically great although the script offered no truly deep character development for the actors to work with. It also felt as if some aspects of the story were hastily wrapped up and not fully explained, such as the orphans living in the woods around Nottingham. The extended politics within the story also become rather tedious. There is also the occasional cliché and laughable situation which sometimes escalates into something so ridiculous it is beyond belief (you’ll understand when watching the end of the film).

Visually the film offers the usual, something you’d expect from this genre, and nothing special besides an odd slow motion shot. Occasionally a cheapening zoom is thrown into the scenes. Ridley Scott may have also gone a bit too far with the use of smoke; I would have liked to see that effort thrown more into the lighting. The action scenes are fantastically filmed and played out, although maybe over surrealistic at times.

Other reviews tend to be rather harsh on the film. I like to categories films into two categories: great entertainment or great films, there is a difference. I’m swaying towards the film being of great entertainment and still worth a watch. It does feel as if the producers are pushing for a franchise and I’ll be sure to disown any sequels to this as it will just further saturate the Robin Hood playing field.

Overall it’s a very entertaining film, adds to the legend of Robin Hood, and offers action, adventure, romance and a touch of comedic relief – what else could an audience want?

By the way, don’t leave before the credits begin. They are fantastically animated and offer an extra treat."]]> <![CDATA["Robin Hood" review]]> Sat, 05 Jun 2010 04:21:30 GMT
