Andrew K.
Posted 5 months ago

Awesome work. I think having the school already available to you will be super beneficial when filming on a budget

Kaitlyn G.
Posted 5 months ago

This team has the skills to film a movie on a budget and they can do this with the assistance of the incredibly people at Templeton Secondary.

Kaitlyn G.
Posted 5 months ago

The people involved in this film are resourceful and I have no doubt they will make $1 million go a long way

Zoltan M.

huh

Joelle L.

you all sound super skilled and talented. i'm rooting for you!

Kerri S.
Posted 5 months ago

Amazing, talented, WOW! Not only will this film be under budget, but through your brilliant creativity and not needing so much special fx, your able to hit the mark with this. I am reminded of a little horror film in the past that only used a film camera shot real time, jumpy imaging and cost little and made millions! Grade Nine has it all! :D

Lisa B.
Posted 5 months ago

I really like your guys style. And I truly believe that you can pull this off with your stellar crew!

Donald Y.
Posted 5 months ago

Cheap tricks? I'd call it inexpensive filmmaking - and after many years of indy films, I can see this team has the skill to make a movie with the cast of excellent younger actors. This is the kind of project all indy filmmakers wish they could do.

Brenden K.
Posted 5 months ago

This looks like it has a lot of potential :)

Mack B.
Posted 5 months ago

Very proud. Keep up the good work fellas!

Sandra l.
Posted 5 months ago

With talent , not a lot of need for money!

Julius G.

Really interesting!

Donald Y.
Posted 6 months ago

This proves the ability to make a lot from a little budget. There is several great teams in the competition, but this one is one of the most serious contenders with the potential to go all the way. Good luck tonight.

Christopher K.
Posted 6 months ago

I like how you mentioned it mainly being shot at the school, cuts down transportation costs. On a side note it looks like you guys all have a ton of experience.

Meaghan D.

Interesting

Nice video!

Bren W.

Sounds like all it takes is smart people spending money efficiently to maximize its potential. Keep it up!

TJ H.
Posted 6 months ago

I think you showed a lot of tricks: Self contained, simple ideas and having professional contacts.

Tawnya T.
Posted 6 months ago

no tricks

Rhonda B.
Posted 6 months ago

what are the tricks

Kaitlyn G.
Posted 6 months ago

They work really fast and I believe they can make this project succeed. They have the right people involved for sure!

Natalie T.
Posted 6 months ago

This seems like a great team, that know how to manage their time and budget and that can make a great film.

John M.
Posted 6 months ago

Definitely a team with the right skills to make it happen!

dorothy e.
Posted 6 months ago

It's refreshing to see someone wanting to sell the story rather than effects

Brent M.
Posted 6 months ago

I love your actors! Reminds me of Freaks and Geeks.

John H.
Posted 6 months ago

New shots? Like the kids

Ron K.
Posted 6 months ago

I'm getting flashbacks, and lov'in it.
Great work.

Jennifer C.
Posted 6 months ago

This video does not talk about "cheap tricks". I cannot say that you succeeded in this mission when you neglect the purpose of the mission.

Dianh G.

This is good

TeamJessie P.

We love Seycove!

Neirrod E.
Posted 6 months ago

how can you not be excited by this project?!

Lisa a.
Posted 6 months ago

Love the kids but I feel you did not show anything different in this, reused old shots

Jay R.
Posted 6 months ago

Interviews? Behind the scenes footage? turned around from scratch in 6 days...

Wendy G.
Posted 6 months ago

you missed this one

Vance A.

Cast is definitely the way to raise production value. Great team.

Dave S.

Kimberly M.

Cindy C.
Posted 7 months ago

So cool.

Kyle H.
Posted 7 months ago

Good stuff guys,your concept is strong,albeit not very original.I still think it looks great though and you'll do well.

Tah the T.
Posted 7 months ago

Interesting. I'm not Canadian myself, but this could really be a neat film regardless.

Carolyn D.
Posted 7 months ago

Kids are great - but they also cut down on the time you can actually shoot! Obviously necessary but your scheduling is going to have to be spot on!

Toby G.
Posted 6 months ago

Very true! Though I must say the idea of 10 hour days is a film dream come true :)

Sharon R.
Posted 7 months ago

What a strong team guys. I hope you guys make this film either way because I think it has the power to be a cult-classic, Canada style, like Strange Brew.

Hugh P.
Posted 7 months ago

too much talking

Trish M.
Posted 7 months ago

Well explained

Heather B.
Posted 7 months ago

Tight writing, networking, contained sets, experience = CHEAP. Thank you for sharing your cheap tricks. Good Luck.

Siobhan W.
Posted 7 months ago

Neat to see how you stayed within your budget...when the subject is kids, definitely the school setting is a no brainer

Chantie D.
Posted 7 months ago

kids are great

Denise D.
Posted 7 months ago

I agree with all you have said about what makes this film doesn't require expensive tricks it requires good actors, directing and filming.

Susanne G.
Posted 7 months ago

insightful

Jeevin J.
Posted 7 months ago

love these kids

Michael M.
Posted 7 months ago

The concept itself is inherently resourceful--big picture thinking..

Jana S.
Posted 7 months ago

Loved it! Looks super professional . Interested to see more!

Allen M.
Posted 7 months ago

You guys have a lot of heart. You're absolutely right, this does feel like a Canadian coming of age story

Aniko K.
Posted 7 months ago

Good stuff guys! You have an all around very solid project coming along!

Richard B.
Posted 7 months ago

nice organization, great outcome

Monique M.
Posted 7 months ago

this is one of my favourite contenders . it would be interesting to see what you could do with a million dollar budget!

Holleay R.
Posted 7 months ago

Super fun. Looking forward to this movie.

Shaelyn L.
Posted 7 months ago

Really good cinematography and direction of the young actors :)

Margaret S.
Posted 7 months ago

The story and the performers really do seem to shine through in the ads I've seen so far. The examples of the school set and the other projects exemplifying their process seem to support their ability to put together a good product. I also like the idea of a true Canadian film that illustrates our creative talents.

Emersen Z.
Posted 7 months ago

I'm a huge fan of this project. Keep up the great work and thanks for the tips!

Patrick G.
Posted 7 months ago

you've definitely got a great story and some great talent - good mission!

Joan L.
Posted 7 months ago

I can see where you can have production values for a movie of this genre. It's really all about the characters.

Kendall R.
Posted 7 months ago

Definitely one of the best projects and teams out there. Your planning and execution is paying off. Nice job!

Brad D.
Posted 7 months ago

Good glimpse into the cinematography and action choreography that goes into the film. Looks like a great team. What camera did you shoot on?

Toby G.
Posted 7 months ago

Hey Brad, we shot on the Red Epic.

Colin T.
Posted 7 months ago

You guys are really well spoken and know what you're talking about. This was very informative, nice job.

Jonny V.
Posted 7 months ago

From the storyline to the camera work, everything you guys have presented up to this point has really shown your ability to get high production value for low cost. Strong work guys!

Meika A.
Posted 7 months ago

Interesting but no tricks

Gregory H.
Posted 7 months ago

It's interesting but kind of vague. Makes references to tricks but doesn't really explain any of them. Definitely interesting though.

Daniel F.
Posted 7 months ago

Can really tell you guys are resourceful and smart about developing story, as opposed to production. Great job!

Chris F.
Posted 7 months ago

It's amazing what you have at your disposal. Who can compete?

Andie Q.
Posted 7 months ago

Certain stories lend themselves to a lower budget nicely. Nicely done.

Natalie H.
Posted 7 months ago

grade nine is a little dated, I agree

Chris W.
Posted 7 months ago

Grade nine is so 1995

Colin W.
Posted 7 months ago

cool

Wes M.
Posted 7 months ago

this just does not feel original to me, I feel like Ive seen this movie before

Tim T.
Posted 7 months ago

Hard to give constructive criticism when sometimes you just have to appreciate a lack of special effects. Although saying stuff in the vein of a convergence of creativity does sound a bit pretentious! Haha. Good luck guys.

Julie C.
Posted 7 months ago

Casting looks great. Also agree that you don't need a huge budget to make something great.

Tom H.
Posted 7 months ago

is this cast locked in? chemistry seems to be there

Gord G.
Posted 7 months ago

I find your film speaks to my interests,

James G.
Posted 7 months ago

Good that you are using a strong and topical story and being realistic on keeping the location issues to a minimum.

Colin P.
Posted 7 months ago

the convergence of your creativity is los on me as a cost effective tip, but you guys clearly know a thing or two about a thing or two!

Bernardo C.
Posted 7 months ago

It is clear that u guys know how to make best use of the resources at hand. Love the fact that u are able to do it while maintaining a high production value and an overall really polished "feel".

Chris N.
Posted 7 months ago

great use of resources, and smart keeping locations down to a minimum

Shawn B.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice demo reel.

Jason L.
Posted 7 months ago

Smart move to keep the story contained mostly to the school. That should help a lot. One thing you may not have considered...are your performers required to work a shorter day because of their age? Better make sure...good luck!

Bryce M.
Posted 7 months ago

At the risk of being too on the nose, tell me someone in your camp is already in talks with BNL's publisher for the rights to the 'Grade 9' song ... for cheap. Something tells me those fellas would get a kick out of both your project and Cinecoup in general.

Alan J.
Posted 7 months ago

The cast seems great. Looking forward to seeing more.

Lisa R.
Posted 7 months ago

not really my thing could be better talk about "grade nine" not other films you have worked on

Michelle G.
Posted 7 months ago

well done guys.

Jonathan M.
Posted 7 months ago

What were some of the biggest hurdles along the way dealing with partners?i.e. funding partners

Seth C.
Posted 7 months ago

Funding partners?? I wish! Me and Jay paid for everything we couldn't get for free. Which was mostly food and some pieces of wardrobe.

Zaid L.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice work

Jac r.
Posted 7 months ago

loving your work. seriously the most polished and funny of the bunch. thanks also for not murdering anyone in your film. seriously.

Jenna J.
Posted 7 months ago

Good work.

Rob N T.
Posted 7 months ago

good luck!

Di L.
Posted 7 months ago

Look like you're ready to get this project going! cool

Lindsay B.
Posted 7 months ago

Love your project - but I want to hear more about how you sourced this many great young actors, how much time you spent in casting & rehearsing, etc. These guys are some of your best assets - sell them too!

Seth C.
Posted 7 months ago

We spent weeks hosting auditions sourced from Facebook,Craigslist, and high schools. We gave every audition about 10 min to see the range of the performers. All the auditions were taped and we reviewed them for hours. It was an amazing process and gave us access to a huge pool of undiscovered talent. These kids are what's going to make this movie a huge success.

Lindsay B.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks, Seth! Great to find out more about how you sourced these guys...they're amazing!

Alex B.
Posted 7 months ago

good job!

Sandra W.
Posted 7 months ago

looking great!! your pitch is great

Mae Y.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice job! The fighting looks really real!

Melanie K.

Sarah D.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks good

Ian R.
Posted 7 months ago

well done

Jennifer E.
Posted 7 months ago

Excellent point about the setting. Love the young actors. Great job!

Warren B.
Posted 7 months ago

Good work with the wardrobe & the old dnd books! Those editions look great.

Seth C.
Posted 7 months ago

Those are the books I learned to play with, all of them come from my brother and our cousins. Classics!

Shelly A.
Posted 7 months ago

Great vid, I can't wait to see this film...look forward to your journey!

Michael M.
Posted 7 months ago

Missed the mark, everyone is trying to sell the fact that they have an amazing story, characters and acting!

Jen A.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks great!

Rob L.
Posted 7 months ago

Great concept

Trevor S.
Posted 7 months ago

Awesome work

Julie H.
Posted 7 months ago

I love the way your production relies on the actors -- more acting, less CGI is always way way better!!

James O.
Posted 7 months ago

I agree that pre-production, story, characters and acting are where the real savings can be achieved. These are the things that make a film memorable and rewatchable.

Claudia R.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks awesome

Victor G.
Posted 7 months ago

Totally gnarly dude!

Melissa W.
Posted 7 months ago

You guys totally sold me on your ability to make this an amazing project. And I wholeheartedly agree....what makes any movie awesome is the story - all the special effects are bonuses and trappings but you don't have anything if you don't have a solid foundation. It's great to see a project with that foundation and the teamwork/knowledge to make the trappings really work for them.

Peter C.
Posted 7 months ago

The strength of our ..."a great story", figure it out early in the game and make sure you can really tell a story that will have an impact on your audience. On time is good, cheap is bad. Try well managed budgets and the use of your collective experience instead of cheap. Cheap can say a lot about the quality of what you are doing and i don't think that was your intention here. You guys did not do a cheap production, your were cost effective and worked well with limited resources. That was the collective minds at work. Nice work but please stop using cheap as a way to describe your work.

Wendi N.
Posted 7 months ago

Nice

Aaron M.
Posted 7 months ago

Good to see them all on the same page

Stefanie C.
Posted 7 months ago

Amy-Leigh B.

I'm looking forward to seeing this one!

Dave R.
Posted 7 months ago

It is fascinating that even with a small budget, they capture what feels like reel life.

Max V.
Posted 7 months ago

Good job!

Becky P.
Posted 7 months ago

I love that this is a great story and not something that required special effects. You all seam like a great team!

Paul H.
Posted 7 months ago

cool

Clayton P.
Posted 7 months ago

This is a fantastic video! It really makes clear how this film can fit into a tight budget. It really comes down to the fact that it's a deeply human story that focuses on the people involved.

Thalia M.
Posted 7 months ago

Awesome!

Sherri L.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks great guys. Seems like you have a handle on the budget.

Tyson L.
Posted 7 months ago

Tom J.
Posted 7 months ago

Awesome! While I liked your trailer and premise for your film, your Pitch and Cheap Tricks reassured me that I should be sending votes your way! Keep up the great work, will be keeping my eyes peeled for your future projects!

Gayle B.
Posted 7 months ago

good use of resources and networking.

Connor B.
Posted 7 months ago

Come at me Bro

Seth C.
Posted 7 months ago

Now that's the look of a champion.

Negus S.
Posted 7 months ago

would have been nice to see some cheap tricks

Joshua B.
Posted 7 months ago

I just think it should be funnier. The timing seemed off.

Mital G.
Posted 7 months ago

If the film required visual effects the Team would have the means to deliver, I'm sure. Having that much combined experience in the industry is a cheap trick as you can pull in favours from fellow professional technicians, film crew and other talent. I think the Team have this video spot on and their trailer, as well as their other mission video demonstrates their talent and drive to win.

Sam L.
Posted 7 months ago

I've noticed that your team has bashed visual effects in both your mission videos so far. However, your project is a drama/comedy; visual effects are seldom relevant or prevalent within these genres. Why even mention it? It's like someone bragging about not giving their pet rat dog food because dog food is too fancy and expensive - it's not an informative statement.

I feel that your constant belittlement of visual effects is a passive-aggressive way to take shots at your competitors that are working with action/thriller/horror/etc genres. You should be focused on informing your fans of what your film brings to the table, rather than what it doesn't.

Also, I would liked to have seen some cheap tricks actually addressed in this video.

Jay R.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks for your input - We are all actually huge fans of spectacle movies action/thriller/horror/etc . We certainly don't mean to come across as snobby or harsh. We only wish to highlight the strength of our project.

Bo H.
Posted 7 months ago

fancy stuff

Megan P.
Posted 7 months ago

i am not drawn into this for some reason...

Cameron L.
Posted 7 months ago

I am pretty amazed at the quality of this actually

Anne R.
Posted 7 months ago

Hmmm.... see? This seems too fancy. Suspiciously fancy for this contest.

Jay R.
Posted 7 months ago

Don't worry we are real - running with scissors - killing our selves. Thank you for the huge compliment!

Lucy C.
Posted 7 months ago

Great job!

patricia s.
Posted 7 months ago

where is the cheap tricks

Anne R.
Posted 7 months ago

exactly.

Rachel L.
Posted 7 months ago

keep up the good work!

Eric T.
Posted 7 months ago

I agree with the other comments. This project appears above this Cinecoup contest. But they missed the point with this Mission - Where is the cheap trick???

Mark V.
Posted 7 months ago

Looks like you guys don't need to be in this competition if you already have the resources and budjet to make the movie.

Anne R.
Posted 7 months ago

bis! it's all really suspicious.

Jay R.
Posted 7 months ago

We shot the Trailer in one weekend with the help of friends - a feature is an entirely different animal.

Jason B.
Posted 7 months ago

Using the school as an enclosed space definitely will help with the costs

Astra L.
Posted 7 months ago

great video! Such a talented cast and crew!

Grayson W.
Posted 7 months ago

I like you guys, your actors and your movie too, but it doesn't seem that "Brave", it seems like a film that would get made any day outside of the film accelerator. Or people can maybe just watch freaks and geeks. I recall an episode where they played D&D and a "freak" (james franco) joined them.

Ben S.
Posted 7 months ago

D&D Mother-Father!

Jenny C.
Posted 7 months ago

The right people with the right attitude and team spirit can make all the difference. Good luck with the competition!!

Panta M.
Posted 7 months ago

Talent really does matter!!!

Tyler R.
Posted 7 months ago

i agree that the great tallent adds huge value to the production. However, great talent is hard to find, seems like you did a great job at seeking it out. Kudos to the casting director

Jay R.
Posted 7 months ago

Thanks Tyler - we did all the casting ourselves using Craigslist and Facebook. being in a bigger city helps.

Suzanna B.
Posted 7 months ago

Like the idea of looking at excellent talent as an aspect of great production. It's so important.

AChristine W.
Posted 7 months ago

nice

Lori M.
Posted 7 months ago

You don't need huge effects to tell a good story! Love the emphasis on communication.

Well done. Staying true to who you are, keeping it real and letting your story guide you. Ultimately that is what should determine the techniques and production choices. If they aren't serving narrative then what's the point. Good stuff.

This 'Cheap Trick' video seems like exactly what Cinecoup is looking for without pandering like some other groups seem to be doing.

This movie has heart and soul. It doesn't need fancy special FX or a big time orchestra. It's amazing and inspiring and thought provoking all on its own! Amazing job! Hope it comes to the Big Screen!!! :D

Christina M.

Impressive how much you could do with such a small budget.

David B.

Thats awesome! I am glad you pointed attention away from sfx!!

Your video explanation of how you could make this look professional on a small budget looked very professional itself.

You are such a wise and well put together group. A lot of writers and directors in this competition could learn a lot from you!

Let's hope this gets made, regardless of the 1000000 bucks.

Derek C.

Brilliant!!

Amanda C.
Posted 7 months ago

the million dollars is offered but if you dont have to use the full amount its even more brilliant cause this is a fantastic film!

Tyler S.
Posted 7 months ago

I agree with your tactic to shoot in a contained set to save time between scenes / less transportation. good luck!

Ann W.

I can relate to this. I was bullied at school! BUT it only made me stronger! :)

Dianne S.

Looks good.

Matthew S.
Posted 7 months ago

It looks great but I don't really get how you are planning to actually make the film better with the 1 million. Which aspects will you improve most?

Lorette P.

love this film. no sex, no violence. Also great cast.

Jamie M.
Posted 7 months ago

Awesome!

Fernando P.

Interesting. Being a movie that doesn't rely on SFX, this was a good demonstration of your skills and how they'd apply here.

Cinnamon C.

Obviously experience has paid off here. This was not an amateur production. I like that you used real youth for actors and not adults pretending to be teenagers. Fantastic!

Great skills for sure

well edited and put together - good info about experience and how that will cut costs.

Fabien W.

I like the confidence and professionalism. On my top 3 so far.

Leslie H.
Posted 7 months ago

Couldn't agree more. No amount of special effects can ever trump a great story. And as someone who spends most of their day in a room of 25 grade 9s, I can confidently say, "you guys nailed it!"

Afzal H.
Posted 7 months ago

You guys have great skills. The footage from previous productions truly show your talents and the potential to achieve great visual content. Looking forward to seeing this film come to life. This is one of the favourite projects!

Timothy C.

Didn't quite catch much of the cost saving techniques that you'd use, however great video and pretty convincing despite that! I'm still looking forward to seeing if this film gets produced!

Tony S.
Posted 7 months ago

Shoot a great looking movie. Hard to argue with that.

Jordan N.
Posted 7 months ago

best thing is evaluating what you have like today and games and being able to use that without going out of your way to get these things

David M.

Seems like you've got all the parts necessary to make a great film. Looking forward to it.

June B.
Posted 7 months ago

Good video. The visual tricks will be required for the fight scenes. Not sure where else they will come into play.

Todd M.
Posted 7 months ago

Was hoping to see more of the cost cutting aspects of the film. The film looks great, but it just seemed like it was mostly showcasing your DP's demo reel...

Kiran R.
Posted 7 months ago

very good video! i really liked it!

Jane H.
Posted 7 months ago

I agree, you don't need a lot of money to shoot something, but you didn't tell us anything new.

Samantha L.
Posted 7 months ago

This sounded a bit too much like the pitch and was less creative in it's format. I like what you're saying but I think you missed the mark on this mission.

Jeff U.
Posted 7 months ago

Not really a trick but interesting nonetheless.

Nelson L.
Posted 7 months ago

Ya boyz! Lovin' that so many of the Vancouver submissions have tight, well thought out stories and teams with real world film industry experience. I'm part of Third Wave, and am equally excited by these other projects.

Tyler M.
Posted 7 months ago

ok great, a lot of info, in general, but you didn't share any specific thing, please try to complete the mission next time. Transmission

John K.
Posted 7 months ago

Agreeing with Daniel... sometimes the best way to conserve budget is to shoot a project that doesn't require a huge budget

Daniel H.
Posted 7 months ago

I think the concept lends itself to a practical, lower budget style of filmmaking. Nice work.

Jeremy B.
Posted 7 months ago

Good approach to the mission for a film that doesn't need a lot of special effects.

Melanie K.
Posted 7 months ago

did you already shoot the film? because if you did all that just for the trailer, i have every confidence you can finish this film for 1 million and still have enough to pay for a tux for the prom.

Marnie D.

So Excited (:

Julia Richard M.

Excellent job guys. Can not wait to see the whole movie for sure.
