Plague screener

Very good job on the production. Impressive to get all those people for the zombie scenes.
Now some people will tell you that the 'voice of god' technique is a poor substitute for good directing, acting, writing etc. I wouldn't agree and think of movies like bladerunner, goodfellas where the technique works well. However, the whole thing done in VOG, is too much. In your opening scene (the van) I just got the impression that the sound guy didn't show up.

Anyway, congrats for pulling it off, it is very impressive overall.

Oh and why didn't you use a center gutter on your credit crawl? That always looks much nicer... IMHO

Really good, I like it. What camera did you use to shoot this? The only advice I can give you is to watch the vignetting that you are getting at some points. Other than that, it's great.

As for the voice over narration (or "Voice Of God") technique, it is a little subjective. I would probably agree with HueyNRolf that doing the whole thing in VOG is a little overkill. Try to add some dialog, and maybe a couple of VOG intervals.

This discussion on VOG made me think about Terrence Malick. I think VOG is one of his favourite techniques, and I have absolutely no complain about the way he uses it. It tends to give the movie a more pensive, melancholy mood.

I didn't mind the VOG, I think you could have been a little more aggressive with what to cut out and speed up the pace. Having said that, I think you did a great job, far better than most could achieve.

Would love to know how much this project cost you and how long it took to film and edit etc.

Great Job!
