i have yet to see the sample, but i'll wager with any user on this site that it isnt very good =X

based on sample

decent release i guess

video/6 look like a comic book with all the shading and shadows
audio/6 decent for a cam looks to be in sync
movie/? haven't seen it yet



ok i have viewed the entire movie...it has to be based on a comic or something cause i swear its like a comic book gone movie....but decent cam none the less...i guess its supose to look like it does

its ok quality wise to be honest 5/5/? not grainy a decent cam for once :P

wow mavensupplier managed to find something better than a phonecam this time. It's actually a nice first release. Colors are nice, minimal flicker, audio is decent and in sync for a CAM pretty good

6/6/?

I hope the guy next to me wasn' t the mavensupplier, coz his phonecam sucked.

save your bandwith on this release.

Wow, this rls seems to be one of your better first run cams. Perhaps they were doing their own phone cams at first, and saved up enough to buy a real cam...

Anywayz, the video is suprisingly fluid No choppyness, and not too bad on the pixelation. It seems to be shot at an angle from the way the opening credits look, but given the style of animation it is, it almosts blends in. 6.5

The audio seems good from scanning the rars. Not too hollow, not too bass heavy either. At the beginning there's some crackling, but nothing too bad. 5

Haven't finished all the way through it yet, but this release is definately watchable.

Am I the only person that thinks this style of animation is absolutely amazing? I registered just so I could post to this thread. This isnt based on a comic book, its adapted from a novel. Richard Linklater used a less refined version of this technique in his movie Waking Life. Though this style has been around for decades, its now aided with the help of computers. I have been looking forward to this movie for about 5 years, since I first heard it was being made. Originally it was rumored to be a fully CG movie, and wouldve been one of the first. In the end, Im happy it turned out the way it did, and I encourage all to go see it.

for a first rls i give this:

8/8/9

high marks but as cams go its very watchable and better than the shit prevail\saga\xanax etc are churning out

i love these guys, and what they stand for.

video is good and sound is good from sample. why is sound rated only 4?

The video is a bit dull, but overall still good quality for a cam. The sound is what you can expect from cams, but it is clear enough to hear and that is what you want with a cam. On another note, I just saw some of Mavenssullier's version of Little Man, it's a good improvement and props for the effort of hitting a triple-feature today guys.

I love you MavenssupplieR!

I love you MavenssupplieR! you guys rock!! whatever anyone says you are the best!!!

Actually pretty decent. Sound wise there's a bit of audience noise, a bit of distortion at higher volumes and bass heavy bits but overall very watchable.

Video is very good for an early release, washed out, cropped but not really heavily so.

Not quite up to good 'ole UTI standards but a good cam never-the-less.

Blatantly Mavenssupplier are largely taking the piss with some of their releases and nfos but if they keep putting out releases like this then I'll be happy.

A) Some of us don't have 40" TVs. On my 27", it looks fine.

Interesting movie, reminds me another drug comedy Fear and Loathing. But with a story. Video quality is subpar, but as it is the only release out and the artistic style does not demand too much clarity is does okay. Audio is fine.

Worth the time, check it out.

V6 A7 M7

For a first release cam, ok quality to watch. Shot at a slight angle, and cammer's hand blocks screen a couple of times as someone walks by. Once or twice another walk by. If you had issues with the video, try adjusting your widescreen. It looked great on my 37" LCD (via network & Xbox), with a little brightness level (down) tweaking.
Sound ok, with audience laughter a number of times.
Movie was certainly like an animated comic book. That this was animated over live action, it was very different. But that was the only way the shapeshifter disguise suit could be done well. There is no problem telling which actors were playing which roles. Well done Philip K. Dick story.
6/6/8

animation does help


v7//a6//m?

video is okay. but what do you expect from an early VCD.

audio is hollow. but you can understand it all so thats a plus!

this looks very intresting. will watch tonight. i did se the last 5 seconds when the credits start. and is really like to know what it says.


All in all this is a nice realease. not too cropped.

GOOD JOB mavenssupplier@

Good

This is the best first cam release for any film, its not bril but v.watchable. And there aren't alot of releases anyway so I reccomend this.

V - 7
A - 7
M - 9

Wow this was a cam ?????!

V 8
A 7
M 8

Love those kind of movies that make you think about stuff. The animation made it all the more intense. The flicker? could be intentional due to the animation. Either way loved the film, Mavensupplier has come a long way since their first releases. Guess they finally got someone who could, and the right equipment.
