well, i enjoyed it and would like to see more. i really liked the concept of this show.

however, i must say. since this is low budget and independent. i would like for the writer's of the
show to lie more convincingly to me, do some research. it's about my biggest complaint.
besides one actor needs to lay off the eye shadow. your a home land security agent. not a bloody
artys wanna be actor. lol

I'm not a big SciFi fan because I'm not a fan of big special effects (which in my limited experience
seem to go hand-in-hand with SciFi). I feel plot should carry a story and not some dude with a fancy
computer complete with expensive CGI software.

Though as a non-SciFi fan I found the plot original, gripping and intriguing.

I do have a few criticisms (none of which will stop me from watching future episodes though- I
really wanna know how this unfolds!!!)

1. Most importantly, I thought the dialogue was too "on the nose." I feel the writer underestimated
the audience's level of intelligence or he had no faith in the director and/or actors.

2. The camera work wasn't great. I have little-to-no cinematography knowledge but I think there
were too many really long "hand-held tracking shots." I don't know if that made sense- basically the
shots lasted for a long time and covered a lot of ground without showing any really important
details. This slowed down the tempo of the episode and distracted me from the dialogue. The last
couple of films in the Bourne trilogy were so gripping because each shot lasted an average of two
seconds. It held the audience's attention!

3. I think the low budget feel was magnified by things that could easily have been avoided. An easy
example is the lack of extras. That guy sitting all alone at an empty golf course wasn't very
convincing.

Luckily all of these problems have quick solutions.

1. Give the actors more creative control. Explain their characters (using "on-the-nose"
descriptions) then allow them to improvise dialogue (still write it all up though). It'll probably
make their performances more genuine.

2. Employ the same techniques for filming dialogue as every other single camera tv show. Film the
dialog twice from each side.

3. I guess this is really up to us. I'll make a donation and hope to see it make a difference in
quality.

Well that's my 2c. I only watch TV and movies- never been on the other side so my comments could be
way off.

I think the plot is interesting and the actors are alright. I'm looking forward to the next one. By
the way at the end of this episode there was a computer and it had co-ordinates on it put them into
google and it leads you here

http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&q=51.016667,+114.016667&vps=1&jsv=268b&sll=-36.572154,147.179692&sspn=4.39351,9.876709&ie=UTF8&geocode=FdtzCgMdm8HLBg&split=0

I found that interesting, It appears they have done their research and yes this will be good, DONT
be put off by how terrible the lionshare was!

Not so much commenting about the episode as I've not seen it yet... just thought I'd pop in and
whine a bit. It'd be really nice if the shows little blurb thing actually conveyed what this show
was about. The history behind the show itself being made is interesting and all but I'd kind of like
to know at least a little bit what I might be getting into. >.<;

I'm now going to whine at "Kaufies" particularly hisher second statement. Which to summarize said
the camera shots lasted too long. I'll disagree with that being a bad thing, unless it turns out
these shots are more reminiscent of early Cops chase scenes or something. >.<; Like I said, I've not
seen this yet. But those long continuous shots can be great if they're done well. Watch some stuff
from the first season of Psych, you'll see a good deal of shots that pan, zoom and rotate their way
around the set, changing angles without ever actually cutting to a different shot. It's great,
because there's far too much of the crap that goes on in things like Bourne Identity, with the shot
changing every two seconds. At that rate I could save myself ten bucks and just rapidly click
through screenshots of the "movie." >.<;

Maybe they could have done them better, but there's absolutely nothing wrong with long camera shots.
Unless you've got the memory span of a goldfish.
