I haven't checked this topic in weeks, and when I do this happens.
Anyway, this is all I had time to make.

In my opinion you have the best possible Cinematography! And after watching Abduction 4, I renew making that statement (I think that's right).

Sweet cinematography there Nick. But we can always expect it from you ![]()
[DOUBLE POST]

lol, change the hair and it's Dane Cook gets Abducted by a Friendly Family of Aliens.
@Durron, that is a BEAUTIFUL take-off of one of my favorite films North by Northwest.
Pretty nice stuff so far, guys!
Keep them coming. ![]()

Lol I wish I had made it Dane Cook but I didn't have his hair ![]()
I really have to improve at cinematography I know.
Thanks Nick Durron
Now none of us have a chance
Even though he just did an outstanding take-off of one of my favorite films (
) doesn't mean he's going to win.
/sarcasm
Shouldn't you guys know by now that this isn't about winning (well not completely)? It's about by getting constructive criticism to improve your cinematography. Please, do your best, people. Even if it seems like you're doing it for nothing. It's all about improving.
Hmm, I think that's pretty nice Nick. It seems a bit simple, but that's not a bad thing. Was this inspired by North by Northwest?
Yes, it was, and if you compare it to this reference image you'll see it's basically a recreation of the shot from NxNW with a UFO replacing the crop duster.
Haha, I really like that Nick, though the argument could be made that it's copying someone elses cinematography...but whatever, it's a nice shot. Anyway, here's my entry:

I wouldn't call it copying North by Northwest, per se, but rather a homage to it (assuming that's what Nick was going for). It's a good shot, though.
I like yours, Kim, though I think I would prefer to have the characters more in focus.
I absolutely love the bag over his head.
Some pretty tough competition between the two.
How long do we have untill the deadline?
I would like to extend the deadline to at least Wednesday if that's alright with you guys.
