Anciliary Tasks: Film Review
Many student films focus on everyday life and maybe at first you could think that about The Day The World Went Wrong but this ordinary day is about to take a turn for the unexpected.
What TDTWWW lacks in polish it makes up for with constant action and intrigue by mixing many elements from popular science fiction films together to make a roller coaster ride of action, story twists and exposition. The special effects are far from perfect but director Chris Browne's ambition shows through. The sheer amount that has been crammed into this five minute mini movie is a true achievement considering the amount of custom made content that has been required for it. As a director he has made a huge effort to co-ordinate the many resources required for the film's setting and characters, there is no element of the film that he has not been fully involved with from set design to character animation.
Chris has also thought carefully about casting and the acting is very high quality throughout; from the friendly nature of Alistair Browne to the slightly nerdy Nate Winger. Chris has taken care matching each voice to their character. But it's not just human casting that has been well thought out, the choice of cars has been made to match the character that drives them. Thomas's diminutive Mini Cooper represents his vulnerability when pitched against the intimidating jet black Dodge Charger that acts to represent the system bearing down on him in the final chase sequence.
Despite being released later than anticipated this film is well worth the wait, the breakneck pace means that you will never want for action. Although not as well finished as some of his earlier projects, the effort that has been put into it shines though.
