“Morning! Nice day for fishing ain’t it? Ha ha!”

Baelin

Expectations:
– filem ni keluaran Viva La Dirt League. Content creator dari New Zealand.
– aku duk follow short sketch diorang bertema kedai komputer kat FB. Non Playable Character (NPC) ni kurang follow.
– awal tahun 2021 haritu diorang announce short movie akan published kat YT.

Plot/summary/synopsis/premise:
– pasal Baelin, an NPC, ikut sorang player buat side quest. Pastu jumpa sorang lagi NPC. Nak dijadikan cerita, ada kes. Maka diorang jalan sama2 setelkan side quest.

Theme:
– Fantasy, adventure, epic

Effects:
– 5/5 star. For a budget production, effects dia mengalahkan kebanyakan budget production Hollywood apatah lagi Malaysia.
– From CGI, special effects, sound effects
– original score pun best ala2 Lord Of The Ring.
– cinematography pun cun melecun.

Setting movie:
– dalam game open world atau MMORPG. Gamers game style Monster Hunter, Maple Story, Ragnarok familiar la.

Rumusan:
– Overall memang aku impress gila dengan production kualiti short film ni.
– boleh kata lagi better dari standard full production movie.
– scenery cantik. Mengembalikan nostalgia filem2 LOTR dulu terutamanya The Fellowship Of The Ring.
– Pastu paling unik ialah, watak hero NPC tu, Baelin, ada 3 line dialog je diulang2 sepanjang 30 minit;
1. “Morning!”
2. “Nice day for fishing ain’t it?”
3. “Ha ha!’
– jadi pelakon dia banyak main dengan expression untuk sampaikan mesej.
– aku rasa dengan kualiti camni, boleh masuk Oscar. Cumanya tu la. Storyline dia simple je, tak berapa unik.

Escapism/interpretive:
– boleh tengok kalau nak buat benchmark video pendek style fantasy.
