However, the film in my opinion can do with a bit of more suspense. It will probably be ideal for those who love cheesy lengthy talk movies like our Nollywood fans, but it may be hard to sell to a western audience who wants a fast paced drama lol.

Overall, it is a nice job.

I had to go an look up that camera, however that is some expensive gear right there - about 5k pounds. Omo, I no get that kind of money to put for that kind toy jare.

I am keen on producing a movie too, and can let my imagination run wild with a movie script - used to write plays for churches back in Naija. But haven't dabble my hands on proper movie script yet. If you are in the UK, who know we can brainstorm together.

Also, what software did you use? I have a couple of MiniDvs here and just tend to use movie maker. I also have adobe premiere, however I really do not know how to use it.

Yeah, I feel you on the suspense. Too much yanning sometimes lol Guess it was a bit hard for me to create scenes to build up suspense when I was limited to 30 minutes for the entire project. But yeah, sometimes, dey too dey yaan lol

Dude, 5K is nothing for a good camera. I mean If you want your movie to look like film without shooting on a film camera then I think that's a pretty good bargain. As per film cameras cost 10's of thousands, not to even talk about buying film stock!

That's my issue with most Naija films, as per the movie makers are already making money. No one is willing to invest more into making the movies look better. I guess their thinking is if most consumers are happy with it then no need to make it look better. With that kind of attitude, it will be forever until we see a Naija film nominated for an academy award for best foreign movie! South Africa has already won the award, nothing for us yet!

I have adobe premier on my pc, it's pretty cool. But I so much prefer finalcutpro, problem is I don't have a mac lol I'm working on a full length movie now, that's gonna be more action than yanning lol It's gonna take a while to finish it, but when I do, I'll probably send it to you to review!

I like the angles some of the used and how certain aspect sort pans, fade off. It appears nicely edited. Keep it up. [Cant say much as I only watched a few mins of it, sorry am going out]

By the way, what Camera do you use?

Thanks for the feedback on the angles, it took me a while to story board it, but it was worth it. I used a SONY XDCAM EX3, pretty cool camera. It can shoot 24frames per second and has a sweet film look when set on 720 progressive.

I didn't see any Nigerian name there. The film is totally American directed, American cast etc.

It was made in Canada with mostly a Canadian cast. But at least the writer and director na Naija pesin. Working on making a Naija fim next!

Well If you really really want to check it out, then here: http://www.karmacauseproductions.com/thepact.html

I'll appreciate some feedback on the movie though or else I no go use nigeriantalent.com to find Naija actos for my next fim!

Most likely take the link down soon, so watch it quick and get back to me.

Yeah, I just had the link up on that website for a short period of time. Took it off some days ago. The movie has already been made. But when I make another one. I'll try and check you up! Thanx

Chai!!! Dis guy, you wicked! How can you say pick only one

Anyhow sha, if it's going to be like that. I'm picking Frank Jaeger AKA Gray Fox.

I heard some Arsenal fan in Nairobi, Kenya killed himself after watching the match in a pub, crazy stuff. Especially when MAN U won fair and square!

I used to be the local champion in my complex in Wuse, Abuja. I'm confident that after all this years I'll still be able to handle people in SF4!
