You guys have a lot of potential, are you looking for feedback?

Yes please! Any feedback would be appreciated

Is there anything in specific you are looking for or just overall? I have a lot of constructive criticism I could give but I do want to first say i know how much work a project like this is, and it's very impressive what you guys were able to do.

u/captdelta141 29d ago

Just general pointers of where to improve for further projects really. I plan on making a second part to this in 2025.

Okay, reddit isn't letting me post the whole thing for some reason.

Here's a pastebin- https://pastebin.com/dJeQwyuj

It's a very good breakdown of the whole thing. I'm impressed even, I can understand a lot of the issues and confusion based on that. The film had SO many behind the scenes issues that led to it suffering badly as far as quality and more "professional" filmmaking is concerned. But yeah, a lot of clarity and consistency is needed overall with editing and how it was shot.

We have recorded a discussion video of sorts that goes over a lot of these behind the scenes problems, and a lot of our pointers and questions address the majority of criticism you had, albeit in a much less detailed manner. It acts almost like a podcast with its "raw" discussion style. It should be published on that same YouTube channel later today. I haven't taken any insult to your points because we are very very aware of the problems with the final story and film everyone has seen.

Awesome! Yeah I got the sense from how well done some parts were that you were most likely pretty aware of most of the things I mentioned already. Still, I hope you found it helpful in some way. Send the link when the discussion is out!

Just on top of my previous response. We tried to tie it into this current "shared universe" that Call of Duty is trying to make with its campaigns and post launch stories. But just giving it a bit more edge by shoving almost everything about Tenet into it.

The Sator Group was just my way of differentiating from Andrei Sator by making it more of a collective that's led by a red haired guy called Andrei 😂

Just things that make it more consistent with how CoD tends to write and deal with their factions - giving Shadow Company a rival almost.

If this film was redone now, it would be 10× easier to understand because this experience has allowed us to learn a lot more about the craft and get more consistent quality of work out for our coursework relating to college.

Thanks for your time, ultimately. It's great to hear some real extensive feedback!
