SWEET DREAMS - Dang this

SWEET DREAMS
- Dang this movie is cool!
- Would you consider less time on the dead bunny? I think it would be more freaky if it was a shorter cut so that you just get blasted with guts. But I also understand why you held on it because its interesting to inspect the specimen. I just can’t decide which idea represents the character more… If you stay on it it seems like he is really thinking about what just happened. If it’s short it seems like he looks at it and robotically knew he had to remove it. Like he doesn’t even think about the life that he ended he just sees it and moves it. I don’t know…
- The whole part of you cooking the lobster is beautiful and perfect. I love fast cuts and the time lapse motion works really well. The audio is wonderful! It is a normal thing to do but so erie and quiet but those strange sounds really make it surreal. You have a good ear for that stuff. Also watching the lobster cook hits you really hard and it explains the character so well! Seeing him cook an animal while its still alive right after he hit the bunny is really sick.
- Your style is so blunt. Like when you plop the lobster on the table right in front of the camera is great. You are just showing the facts. This character is so matter of fact. I love that. No romance.
- I like you eating the lobster but I think it could be made shorter. There is still so much to see.
- Also I think it’s brilliant that you have yourself going to bed in underpants and waking up in the union suit. I love having those hints that it’s a dream before you find out that it’s a dream. It makes it so strange but its so subtle. And that’s how you make the best dream sequences! Because that’s what dreaming is really like. It is a normal thing for you to be wearing those pajamas but its such a slight break from reality.
- Great job Noah I’m so psyched to see the rest. I hope you are proud because I sure am!

Did you cook the lobster thoroughly.
Character seems very robotic.
Really like that there is no speaking in it. Love the cooking scene. Sound effects were incredible. Eating scene could be shorter.
Should make a sequel to this.
Like it a lot. All of the parts you sped up worked well and seamless. Works as a story, too. Seems you prepared really well.
Really well done, and sound. Beginning when he hits rabbit. He immediately puts on gloves. Maybe a moment when he pauses to think about what has happened.
