LOL. Yeah, you are crap man RuairÃ. Although I’ve done nothing myself to warrant a constructive criticism I believe I am right, blast, blast, blast. Honestly some people. @Marc – fuck you, you are jealous ‘cos you got your head kicked in by the Snipser. Some of the people here are so far up their own fucking arses it’s unbelievable. Oh, the narrative is…………..FUCK OFF. Yeah, but the plotting……..GET A FUCKING GRIP. @Mylenium – FUCK OFF TREKKIE. Where’s my fucking pint!!

Yes nick, i was wondering if the oscar niveau was really that low or why it got nominated. I told thim it was completely objective, not meant to offend him.

Hey Anthony,

How old are you? three? So you told him in a personal mail that his film fifty percent grey was lame and he said the others were just as lame. Hmmmm, I haven’t heard people, sorry, kids talk like that since I got out of short pants.

What was that all about! As always the proof is in the pudding, people who cite babylon 5 as great television on their websites (you know who you are, Mylenium) aren’t really qualified to make any kind of critical comment!

I was amazed by it, and knowing how much it all cost impresses even more. I really hope good things come of this, I know you’re just at the start of your career (directing wise), I imagine thatthey will.

Hey Ruairi, my friends and I just watched your film (we are all working in TV), and we all thought it was great, a huge effort for just one person and extremely well done. Your work is amazing, ignore the bitter ones! Its just empty negativity. We can’t wait to see more from you!

he didn’t win an oscar with the other animated one. it was just nominated. but i told him too in a personal email that i found it lame and couldn’t understand why it got nominated. he said that the others were just lame enough too.

It’s interesting that all of the criticisms of story make the assumption that Ruairi doesn’t understand plotting. I took the sparseness of narrative as a deliberate choice on the filmmaker’s part. Look at his first animated short (the one that won an oscar). This guy knows how to tell a tale – even in the 3 to 5 minute format.

The work was pretty good, however I don’t agree that all of the VFX was seamless. It was pretty obvious. To be fair I couldn’t do any better, but I can sure recognize what needs work.

For a first film it was very well done, and for a nearly one man operation it was excellent. The story obviously has no resolution, but if it’s meant as a holloywood calling card, they won’t care.

Also, while Mylenium was harsh, he wasn’t entirely wrong. He’s not an idiot. That said, I think RuarÃ could make quite a good second film after learning what he has with this one.

Myleniums page says he works in VFX… Hehehu hahahahah.
Prolly with less sallery than r000ri will be.

Amazing work; faaaaaaaar off from what to expect from this small production. The deserted-city-with-skullface-snipers theme is kind of lame, and i never want to see a skull trying to picture something seriously evil again.
But I’ve never seen Steven Spielberg getting the writing credits ever either. Excellent Work!
