Finally had a chance to sit and watch the video with my full attention, about a week ago. :)

We must say that was certainly quite a bit of... Film! Okay... First off, very nonlinear story telling going on here. So confirmed what a total cluster (not that one couldn't guess that before this video) it'll all be, we just have to see it. As always you have the best casting in in a long time. Your 'human stand-in's' always seem to be so spot on! Which bring us to Russian accents. Very on point, but there were moments where Carmen was either speaking VERY fast or half mumbling her lines. This may be a popular technique, but it can also be really annoying and make understanding difficult. The timing on the video was just so, being on the verge of too much delay before the the next beat, but again, it sets a pulse for everything and that's too cool! Finally, add in SFX and little snippets from various places, gotta love the obvious 'borrows' from some films (big and small) and the use of everything from drone cameras to digital overlay (as it?). Dang ItA You killed it! Again

Thanks for watching, UTBH. And thanks for the kind words! The actresses who play Carmen & her sisters are all native Russian speakers. They hail from Ukraine, Belarus and Russia. Adam, Alex and Ali (Kal, C3K & Renee, respectively) fell into my lap in such a lucky way that it can only be described as kismet. The drone was quite an experience. We actually had to get FAA clearance to shoot on my street. And yes, on the digital overlay question. I used a Motion Array effect called "ghost" in Adobe Premiere to achieve that effect. The events recalled by Carmen in MOTF will be laid out in a more traditional storytelling style in the next few episodes. Coming soon!

Wow! Survivor's guilt waay impressively demonstrated! - But Carmen: There must also be survivors, so that you can keep fighting against evil. (And, btw, you got a quite convincing Carmen actress!)

Thank you, Othosmops! I agree, I was lucky to find Krystyna. What are the chances of finding a Russian-speaking actress who also looks just like Carmen? In the next two episodes we will learn who made it out of the Blythe crisis alive.
