What viewers are saying
interesting, but more realistic if camera shook whenever shuttle flew past it.
An ex Capetonian, I loved the ending, only thoise that have been there will fully appreciate. The sights also made me very homesick :-(
Super slick. Thought the guy directing the shuttle to park was ingenieous ending. Two thumbs up!!
Wacky and funny
Hahaha! Loved it this first time i saw it and always will. Would have been good if the parking boy went "eeissh jjjo" but thats me just being stereotypical :p
17 years after leaving Cape Town, great to see my old office still standing, the familiar sights and the parking boys still hard at work... quite nostalgic I will make sure all my old Cape Town buddies get the link... Thanks
Great special effect..great edit and great movies. After all, I love very much with the ending of film when parking man do his job. exelent
it was great and fun. good sounds system too.
There was something else weird about this movie that I couldn't quite put my finger on. I figured out that it was to do with the 180 rule of film making. The camera is constantly moving from the left side of the Shuttle to the right. This makes the film confusing to watch for the viewer. For example, in the establishing shots, the Shuttle is moving left of frame to the right. Half way through, it is moving right to left and frequently flips back and forth between the two.
Overall I like the idea, although it looked too much like the 405 movie. The shuttle seems to be travelling too fast in some of the shots. I think that if it came in to land a little slower, it would look more convincing and have more weight. Motion blur would solve the crispness in some of the shots. Static shots would benefit from some camera movement and camera shake could be added, when the Shuttle crashes into the bridge for example.
