I would comment to those filmmakers out there-hey investing in a red camera to buy or rent isn't a bad idea. It does make things look damn epic. Yes slightly grey, But epic:)

I can understand everybody wanting more and maybe some dialogue but it is only a two minute project. Would be very interested in seeing them following this up though with a longer film where they could do some story.

Even as a two min short with no talking this is a billizion times better than the whole of the damn WW pilot.

Okay at the risk of getting things thrown at me, i will say i don't hate the pilot. The fight scene at the end, had some obvious temp special effects, but i will go so far as to say it was pretty well done. The visual look wasn't bad Palacki is an actress who strangely who i have seen better stuff before and since, but she wasn't a bad choice for the part.

Its main problem is the central kind of problem with addopting wonder woman. Is how do you humanize her? Its not something that has ever worked perfectly in the comics, but they went a little overboard with it. Or peraps more corectly declaring it. Its one thing to have her eat ice cream and worry about her teath, its another to have her whinning about it and never really showing the alternative.

I was going to compare it to Forever 16 which is another obviously failed pilot, which used similar device-there they did the same thing but it worked a better becuse they didn't quite take it as a given. They made vampire at its center an actual vampire, and make people scared of her, and she a bit scared of herself. When she whined in that, it felt a little bit earned, and you could see the weridly human character behind her. It was something the wonder woman pilot only got very fleating glimpses at the end, becuse it never let her be an actual wonder.

Which is something that this short doesn't really try. Which is okay for a 2 minute movie-it kept her godlike- a character in a 300 inspired world who can do amazing things without really blinking. Yet at the shot at the end when she does the gun dodge with her braclet. That kind of worked becuse there was just a shadow of an emotion. of fear. Wonder woman kind of works as a character becuse of that shadow. She may be a perfect woman in an imperfect world but she really works becuse of this.

This is why these kind of shorts get so many hits. This is why we still talk about the pilot-which got more mainstream attention then a lot of shows that get full seasons- becuse there is something there.

You just have to figure out the mix.

and i do hope these rainfall guys get the chance to do more with this. If nothing else Rileah does a good job with that look.
