Prey Alone

With crazy visuals and a compelling story, Prey Alone is by far one of the best films I've seen in my entire life. The plot twist was a bit strange, but very cool. As the site indicated, all loose ends were tied in one awesome swoop, using flashbacks and narratives to convey the twist. The cinematography was top notch, especially considering the fact that the entire thing was shot on a bluescreen; effectively limiting the camera angles. Editing was spot-on as well, bringing awesome voice overs and cool cuts and fades into play.

Prey Alone is one of the greats.

10/10, and Bravo.

A superb special effects showcase that could potentially look better than The Matrix. Stunning visuals and crisp audio design make this one of the tightest short films of recent times. Apparently made on no budget the clear and present precision of each scene makes the mind boggle, each shot is blue screened and it's hard to even notice that nothing is real, for goodness sake there are helicopters and fighter jets and they look flawless. On no budget this short feature has pushed the boundaries of film action through special effects. A brain mangling twist at the end ensures your socks are well and truly blown off. The makers of this film deserve to make very big and very cool movies, it should be a case of accepting the right offer from Hollywood. AWESOME

I watched it online, well, I watched the first 30 seconds ,, thought "this is a bad school project" .. fast forwarded to 1/3... to 1/2.. then to 3/4 .. thought "wow, this is bad, even the computer generated graphics is done by amateurs" and then I started watching from the beginning ..

after about 3 minutes the plot of this really short movie starts to be interesting but the graphics still look kind of silly ..

So I watched it for the plot .. and then came the end .. and the revelation..

And then I watched everything again and I can tell you .. This short film is just excellent !! Including the Graphics !! ;)

I watched this film online and if I hadn't read the description of what it was first, I never would have believed it. Apparently, aside from the actors and some hand props, this entire short film was made using computer generated graphics--all of it. And in the fifteen minutes it runs, there are more chases, explosions and action in an entire DIE HARD movie.

At first, the film seems to have an ill-developed plot, as I felt a bit lost. If you feel this way, DO NOT stop watching--let the film continue until it ends and it will all make sense--trust me (have I let you down before?).

A wonderful achievement and a heck of a film considering how it was made.

Prey Alone - wow, what a film, what a concept, what production values!! And that's just from having seen the trailer and checked out the excellent website that promotes this short film. I really really need to see this - where can it be bought on DVD? Downloaded? Seen on a big screen in the UK? The world needs more films like this one and I am inspired by the fact that this has been made... not least because it is the sort of thing that the Darkmatters project (novel, trailer, website) is looking to do at some point when the funding i.e. book deal is in place... Excellent stuff - Gogol Darkmatters if you want to see what I'm talking about!!
