i found this site surfing online the other day. it’s a site called imoviefest that acts as an outlet for amateur movie makers to publish their work and have others provide feedback and view it. a few of the movies are download only, but most of them are streamable via quicktime. a few of the movies are pretty lame, but there are a some that i recommend checking out when you get a chance.


x3i was edited on final cut pro and is a spin off of xmen. though a bit slow at points with some corny acting, it was actually neat seeing the effects that were applied. this one is pretty long and is a download only. the key for me was at the end after watching it i wanted to know what happened next. not that it was the best movie i saw there, just that i wanted to see more.


sound wall is a very creative short that juxtaposes black and white silence with color music in a cool way. as the sound is released from the wall the color enters the world, but of course it must be controlled and stopped. very fun to watch.


there are others, but rather than rehash what you can watch for yourself you should just check them out. i certainly can’t do them justice. it does make me wish i had some skillz in video though.
