The worrying/hilarious thing is that 'Dr. G' gives, by an extraordinarily long way, the most accomplished acting performance in the entire James Nguyen oeuvre. He actually sounded like he understood most of the words he was saying rather than reading them phonetically off a cue card that was being held upside down. I think Whitney Moore in Birdemic 2 is the only other person ever to pull that off and she did so only by having naked contempt for the entire production.

OMG! It's another amazing bulk!!! The horrible green screen sets!!! That second scene in the guys kitchen with no control over lighting and horrible camera movement ... GLORIOUS! You know, I keep ripping on Amazing Bulk for the bad green screen work but at least the keying was done competently ... no green fringe, no cutting into the subject ... Oh god ... I can't believe I favorably compared the Amazing Bulk to another movie. WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO! What kills me with these incompetently shot green screen attempts (this movie and Bulk for example) is that they light their screen (probably) and then light their subject like they would for an interview (more or less) and not in a way that would fit the scene or their virtual set. All of the green screen shots are light with flat lighting at character height when in some cases the light would be coming from left or right of frame or from above in the case of overhead office lighting. At 7:27 that loud bird squawk ... if the bird isn't visible in the scene why not move it to another room during filming? FFS! That's audio 101!

I think I know why James Nguyen had Beta wooden rod have Claudia change herself to become more like Evelyn. I think it's an homage to Vertigo where a similar thing happened with James Stewart's character (though there, I think we're suppose to see James Stewart's character as a jerk, Nguyen probably didn't get that). Given how much James Nguyen references Hitchcock in his other films, I would say that this is very likely.
@graemesmith67213 жыл бұрын

@@graemesmith6721 We're both right, though I do think it was an homage or at least a case of "I want to do something that happened in a movie I like" .

I will say that the whole "you should change to look like my former girlfriend" was messed up in Vertigo too, though I believe we were suppose to see it as a bit of messed up in Vertigo.
