Production values in a completely superior league in this heat; the only team which demonstrated an ability to transition between camera views smoothly. Good sound quality.

Great acting and loved the animated team logo at the end!

'The Fabricator' by Electric Pink Company

Genre: Biopic

Rating: 4/5

Personally i didn't like the story (just personal preference) but it was original. It kind of felt like "Perfume: The story of a murder"

'The Fabricator' by Electric Pink Company

Genre: Biopic

Rating: 5/5

Sydney Manson has created a machine that duplicates items, but discovers the only fuel it will run on is cats. Oh no! This is a stylish short with superb art direction. Syd's fabricator machine and indeed all the fabricated items make for a visually amazing film. The make-up, showing Sydney aging into an old man, is also impressive. And the script is clever, with brilliant pacing.

If only Syd had a Trade Me account - all those poor kitties might be ok.

'The Fabricator' by Electric Pink Company

Genre: Biopic

A guy invents a Fabricator which only works when you feed cats into it. They are then turned into interesting trinkets such as coffee cups or Star Trek toys. Visually this film is stunning - an incredible art department, brilliant make-up, and beautiful cinematography. Great dark tone and some fine acting too. The end shot though, while highlighting some sweet aging, might not have been the best fullstop for this awesome film.

4.5 / 5

'The Fabricator' by Electric Pink Company

Genre: Biopic

Rating: 2/5

Biopic? Really?? An old man (done through fantastic makeup) describes how he fueled a bizarre machine with cats which led to him earning the name of 'The Cat Napper' around the neighbourhood, and put him in tension with his cat-loving neighbour. The audience loved it and it had a good script and sense of style, but I don't think this was anywhere near its genre.

'The Fabricator' by Electric Pink Company

Genre: Biopic

Rating: 4/5

This oddball short was about a man who invented a machine that converts cats into cups, and he goes on a lifelong mission to 'catnap' every moggy from the region to feed his contraption. The first point to note is that I don't think it was especially true to the genre. Even though we get to see the character as a young and old guy, it makes no difference to the story whatsoever. It may as well been two weeks passed, not forty years. Three separate stories about different parts of his life is probably what this genre needed.

That aside, I still give the short 4 out of 5 because it was done in a very good way. A lovely "Amelie" style musical opening set the scene, with good acting and superb costume/make-up throughout. The machine itself also looked good, for what was plainly tinfoil and LED's.

Good job everyone involved

Sunday

2010-04-17T17:56:00.000-07:00

Sophie is editing sound now and yes we are still shooting (the last shot)-- and editing at the same time... strangely no one seems too stressed....
I'll post some more pics from yesterday soon.... dot dot dot

2010-04-17T05:16:00.000-07:00

Adam can take his moustache off soon. He just got eaten by the machine. It was NASTY!!! this little Fi is wishing there could have been more blood. Bring it on. Fi Sole

2010-04-17T03:15:00.000-07:00

10:15 pm

Kate's putting the finishing touches on Sydney's room twenty years after the machine was perfected. All Kate's worldly belongings are now in one room.

JoElle just made the strongest coffee of the day (an 8 tablespoon job)

Laura & Tom have unearthed about twenty lampshades from Kate and Tom's basement for the next scene.

Poo (Fi's car) improvised a death scene on camera. (Diva...)

Esmerelda spent all her downtime on set catnapping on her sofa on the back lawn.

Adam & Samantha are ready for their final scene together.

Dolly dead; cat next.

2010-04-16T22:30:00.000-07:00

Whoop! It seems the hardest shot of the day is done - our compulsory dolly zoom. There is now a lot talk of blood splatter and cats coming from the lounge... Given the number of cat lovers in the house, I THINK Esmerelda is safe. Okay, just heard her mentioned by name. It's possible we're sacrificing a cat. Sam.

2010-04-16T17:41:00.000-07:00

Sat midday, the first scene is wrapped and the finishing touches are being made to 'The Fabricator".

Esmeralda is a somewhat reluctant star - she got into a catfight with our Director, who emerged with only minor scratches.

The first scene has come out beautifully, with our leading man Adam's fine features bathed in the morning sunlight, and only a few interruptions from weedwackers, sirens and planes.

Now onto the next scene...

sat morning

2010-04-16T14:06:00.001-07:00

Not much sleep... maybe 4 hours. but we have a script, Have had coffee and breaky. Fi's here with her make-up and some fake blood... We are shooting everything at kate's house.

we're writing

2010-04-16T03:41:00.000-07:00

Here's a hint... cats and cardboard

We've got our genre!

2010-04-16T01:22:00.000-07:00

We got biography of someone real or fake. The character is 'Sydney Mason', the object is a broken toy, the line is 'when you put it like that' ... and we have to include a 'dolly zoom shot'.

setting up

2010-04-15T21:58:00.001-07:00

The heat

2009-05-14T14:47:00.000-07:00

Well the heat went well - mainly the fact we'd managed to actually dub our film off with sound and it did things like sort of make sense. Big ups to the 88yr old lad and her puppet movie tho, so sad she was disqualified.
Anyway have been checking the forums and we got 2nd for audience favourite in our heat!!!! (We were beaten by a team called Eat Kitteo which had a baby being stolen by a chicken from a video game and featured excellent Super Mario Bros type game animation.

HEAT SIX - Audience favourites.
1. Eat Kitteo - Poultry Pounder 3 - Parallel World
2. Electric Pink Company - The Electric Pink Company - Dance
3. FilmFriend - The Twisterning - Twist

Reviews:
WELLINGTON HEAT 6:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We were given a disclaimer before the two dull yell films screened that they were made in the name of art, as love is all around us, that they were made by some of last year’s finalists (think much of yourself?) and with a quote by Fellini at the end; a man notorious for bullshitting directly whenever interviewed in the media. Oh, and Grayson Gilmour did his best Elliot Smith impression on the soundtracks. Oh and that they would be winning lots of money through a grant if they somehow managed to make the Wellington final through their endeavour. Shame they were both disqualified…

Team Name: dull yell one / Genre: Romance / “Dull Yell One” [Disqualified]

A dad swings his kid around lovingly, a dad hurts himself on a skateboard. Lots more footage of the family. Experimental film techniques abound. Guy wearing double denim and showing annoyance at bailing on his skateboard (where they shoved the elements in) were the highlights. Grayson’s soundtrack was good though.

No rating.

Team Name: DULL YELL TWO / Genre: Family / “Dull Yell Two” [Disqualified]

Guy in red jersey with blue jeans walks around his backyard as cool lighting shots and grainy footage is shown. More Grayson Gilmour soundtrack for the audience to enjoy.

No rating.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Name: Eat Kitteo / Genre: Parallel World / “Poultry Pounder 3”

Fucking awesome; short, sweet, to the point and a little sick. A guy comes across a rare videogame at a garage sale and is told to remember to “choose rock”. He goes home excited about his rare find, only to be told by his wife to watch the baby because she is going out. Baby gets stolen into another world by a giant chicken and he has to engage in a janken match to get the baby back. Damn entertaining.

Story: 4.5 / Acting: 4 / Elements: 4.5 / Technical: 4 / Overall: 4.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Name: Electric Pink Company / Genre: Dance / “The Electric Pink Company”

Came to the screening in their outfits from the film – nice work! Having been a secretary, our lead actually wants to be a dancer as she finds the power of dance electrifying and so joins the Electric Pink Company for some dancing on a boat. The boat has problems and the dancing continues on rocks by the shore. Splits, body-flops and backspins were impressive.

Story: 2 / Acting: 2.5 / Elements: 3 / Technical: 3.5 / Overall: 3

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Name: Engine Films / Genre: Real Time / “Rock and a Hard Place”

Filmed the screen; looked and sounded horrific and was almost impossible to tell what was going on other than it being a big Saw rip-off. The characters did not know where they were and the room was filling was gas, but only two could survive through oxygen tanks. Had a twist and got ironically funny when they said people were watching them on camera; cam of filtered cam – almost made my head spin.

Story: 1.5 / Acting: 2 / Elements: 2 / Technical: 1 / Overall: 1

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Name: EXPERIMENTIA PRODUCTIONS / Genre: Politically Incorrect/Religious / “Garden of Eden”

A former strap-on infomercial star and a bible basher get harassed in a café by an annoying fan who wants to buy some drugs. The actor is having relationship problems at home because he’s cheating on his girl – maybe money from selling drugs can solve the problem? The deal however does not go down well, as guns come out blazing.

Story: 2.5 / Acting: 3 / Elements: 3 / Technical: 2.5 / Overall: 2.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Name: Team Facial / Genre: Educational / Missing In Action

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Name: Feathersmoke / Genre: Revenge / “Angry Women on Ice” [Disqualified]

Set in the Antarctic amongst a village of penguins (bottles were the model used but the team did a good job) and spoken pretty much entirely in rhyme. The female penguins are upset at the mayor for not taking action against the other birds (complete with awesome string flying effect) who keep stealing their eggs, and they want revenge. They then set out for revenge. Lots of charm from this entry by an older team, although quite slow paced.

Story: 2.5 / Acting: 2.5 / Elements: 3 / Technical: 3 / Overall: 2.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Name: Fergus and Andrew / Genre: Nature Run Amok / “The Thin Green Screen”

Nature is running amok in America, and so the military films a propaganda film against a green screen. Good setup, but 5-6 minutes of filming jokes against the green screen got old pretty quickly. Not sure if they had technical problems? Bit of a shame to not actually use the green screen but whatever, I laughed a couple of times.

Story: 1 / Acting: 3 / Elements: 2.5 / Technical: 3 / Overall: 2.5

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Team Name: FilmFriend / Genre: Big Twist / “The Twisterning”

Oh my, they literally took the “M Night Big Twist” genre literally; but instead of having a twist let’s just say lots of characters from the hack director’s films made it on screen talking to a girl at a speed dating night, and the ‘twist’ was absolutely not what you’d expect. Someone even wore an M Night mask. Wow.

Story: 2 / Acting: 3 / Elements: 2.5 / Technical: 3 / Overall: 2
