The launch of film has created quite a buzz and for the most part, aside from the quirks that need to be worked out, the buzz is a yummy one! Film will be evolving, developing and growing with added goodness from suggestions from the community and ideas galore that are busting through the seams of the Film Team- myself, $Moonbeam13, ^Nico1 AND ^guruubii!

If you haven't seen it, you simply must... FILM GALLERY

I've gotten a lot of notes and comments of praise for particular pieces that are especially enjoyed and wanted to share some of the first highlights of film with you.

Feature Films! brought to you by some special deviants!

"And i totally dig 'scourge of the vampire'. It's hysterical. Since I'm pretty familiar with how animation works, this impressed me a lot with it's attention to details."

=bp-girl says-
"With "Before Sunrise", it was very romantic. The smoke-being was very relateable; He wasn't interested in juvenile things, and at the same time, knew something was missing in his life. When he finds the flame, he realizes that thing is love. And by the time he reallizes it, it seems that it was a realization that came too late. But, luckily, there was a happy ending. The fact that this was conveyed without words, makes it that much more impressive."

and

"Handshake" also took the "no-words/voices" approach, and it worked out and was rather hilarious. The fear, the confusion, the panic, frustration, and finally the resolution to survive no matter what was played out and to great comic effect. It also made me thank twice about accepting the next handshake I'm offered."

=depresedescapist says "Are you kidding? You're expecting me to be able to choose a favorite among these? Your cwaaaazy. That is more difficult than quantum mechanics."

well said

and finally, although there are more favorites but we can't include them all....

$ArtBIT and =BlakkReign both enjoyed the film "Grey"

$ArtBIT says- but the film that kinda really reached me was "GREY"..
Why? I cannot really put my finger on it... was it the story? The directing? Photography? The performance of the actors? ...
...I cannot really say... the thing is - I enjoyed the piece, it moved me, and it got me thinking. Therefore - I think it's a great piece of art.
