Hey cool, I'll watch it when I get home from work. It looked great when you showed the trailer recently.

Re: Tumbleweed Holocaust- Post apocalyptic western SHORT FILM
Just finished watching it. The first thing that struck me was the music. It steered the experience amazingly. And the direction set the sense of desolation very well considering you had zero budget to build anything by way sets etc to do that for you. It was all down to the lingering close up shots and the tense and deeply sad music.
The only complaint (and please take this constructively) was that I didn't feel that the story was fleshed out enough and all of the brilliant effort to set tone was a little bit wasted because there was not enough story to explain what was going on. At the end I wasn't even sure if the main guy was even good or bad. I felt kinda like he was a neutral character, not really good or bad but more a survivor.
However seeing as it was put together with no budget it was no less than a triumph. Well done and look forward to more in the future.

glad you enjoyed it! The band that composed the ost was great and really help set the mood I was trying to convey. I always seem to have a problem making a cohesive story lol thanks for the feedback! Also, hope you can get the video to load.
