SYNOPSIS OF STORY

Two playing cards square up for a fight - and one is about to meet a very bloody end...

Director - Leanne Welham

I am a video editor and director working for a small production company that specialises in family biographies. I work extensively within the documentary format so The Duel is my first foray into stop-motion animation.

quite cruel, but the idea's great

Hunky 1
I agree with Ben X. Not bad though.

Jox
that was cool , I liked it

Kellyscraft
Good idea, and well shot, but with only one minute to play with, you should have spent more of it on story footage and less on writing THE END

GreenPurple
Awesome! Nice work.But it needs to be longer

Yvonne
Gripping, whats that goop the ace tosses at the three? formless yuk! Otherwise excellent esp as first attempt! next work awaited eagerly

sr
ql :D it just could be a longer duel :)

RB
suitable for a 10 second film but still better than the other 'stuff' here

abb
I thought it was very good and creative. i would give it 7/10

jacq
good idea, & for a first go at stop-motion, fabulous - but half of it is credits & it's not really 'one minute', kind of 30seconds.

CR
Great concept. A bit gruesome though. Thought it would be funnier. Started out pretty silly with the spitting. Couldn't think of much after that it seems.

Ray Cervantez
I liked the music and animation, a competitive game ends with death,good job.

Nickkell
Wow, I thought that was beautiful. So simple and direct.

Ronny Card
i love it, it reminds me of when i was a yound donkey making people laugh on the way to shanes house near the uxbridge road.

Xardox
Cut time by about 30% and would be excellent.

LEX
FANTASTICO

LEE R
Clever Idea, nice 1

Tommie B
Less opening and end title but well executed in general

ENG Dept
Half the film is wasted on the credits. OK idea.

Joel
I thought the use of camera angles clearly shows you as professional, however, more action? Especially with a title like duel.

R_Cain
Nice but could have done with more. (but that may have over done it) ;)

Gekko.
I like the idea, but I feel that many people try too hard to make their films 1min long by adding lengthy title sequences.

peter
duel is a brillent film to watch

elizabeth
Great film! Yes do watch the door in the background. but apart from that it was very entertaining and origanal!

Hammertime
Fantastic, lovely concept. Just needed more 'Duel' and less title filler. But i know how time consuming stop can be.

Kirstin
Didn't like.

James Roberts
Very nice idea. Maybe a little too slow, and as Ben X pointed out, the door in the background is a shame. However i really enjoyed the animation of the heart being "removed ". Again, very cool

Ben X
A great idea, with a lot of potential. Just too many titles, and too little stop-motion! Watch your backgrounds - your door opened and closed throughout.

Film is nice idea but way to brief.Music and sound set the mood well. Good special effects.
