Hey Nigel,

here we go

1) Don't spoof an age old movie company with your title. NGM Films is neither appropriate, nor going to lead to a sucess. MGM had, and still has, a lot of respect in the industry and you'd be viewed as either trying to leech off of that, or worse, patronizing that. So, name change. Even if your initials are NGM.

May initials are NGM

2) the entire website first tries to crash my computer, than shows up with redxs for images. And has a crappy layout from what I can see. It looks like trash. Get rid of it, redesign it.

Crash becuase im getting 10,000 hits a day now getting redesigned

3) Hollywood is quicktime based, your trailer is wmv. Change it.

Im not aiming for hollywood im aiming for UK and WMV is better quality

4) What are you filming on? I wish I could see the trailer, but it doesn't work.

as above crash cos of visitors only have 9GB bandwiath

5) If you're shooting on DV, a feature length can be made for under 10,000 (5000 pounds). If you have a ton of special effects, double it.

Name one moive that cost $5,000 and ill eat my hat. The camcorda alone is $3,000

6) Don't shoot your first film on film. If you're shooting film, shoot a short first- not a feature.

Ive shot a short first that is the DVD for sale. Film would be ok but cost too much as im in UK,

7) Your first film won't sell. You will never make any money back. You will never sell any DVDs. You will end up with a loss.

As I put in underlined under fund my film "there is no garrantee that this project will make any money"

8) Storyboards are done, at max, 3 to a page. You've got 20. Your DP is going to go nuts.
Well now i have 500 storyboard as im the one filming it no one else really needs to know about it.


9) Do you have a DP?

10) your storyline ( http://www.freewebs.com/rising-evil/risingevilstoryline.htm ) is filled with grammatical errors and the like. No one's going to donate money to your film with a synopsis like that.

I have redo it but ill take another look at it.

11) Your special effects section is ok, however it has very little do with making models for the silver screen. The build process is different; because the models have to be animated, and the colors have to look right and not gleam under 5,000W lights. Also, from what I gather you're shooting on MiniDV, which is almost impossible for model/green screen work.

you can shot models and green in miniDV Starwars uses HD camcordas

12) one to four months PRODUCTION TIME? Get real.

Aliens and terminator was done in 16 weeks.

13) Finally, you state that you'll be sending the film to film festivals worldwide. You won't be. 1) Festivals don't accept MiniDV for entries (well, a few do) 2) Those that do, don't accept 90-120 minute long movies. Almost no festivals do.

28 Days later and my little eye was on the big screen so why not X's miniDV
120minuate is standed time for any film check any back of DVD.

14) How in GODS NAME did you turn a 6 page script into a half an hour? The scripts either really poorly written, or was overproduced and overedited.

the short was 25minutes long shot from 6 pages of my script, my proper script is 90 pages.

Sorry to crush your hopes and dreams,

I have had loads of critisiem usally about spelling, the site, etc and i've had loads of prositive feedback. At the end of the day I have come so far and raise $4,000 with also pre-orders this is my dream who else do you know trying to shot a film at least im out there doing it, I cant turn back now.
