Fear Factor
Directed by: Chris Engelsma
Released: July 2001
Preview The first movie in what is going to be a series. The movie is kind of like a show, where a group of people from the community (in this episode that includes, Jim Whetherby, Mark Veldhuizen, Jimmy Dean and doejoe) are set a number of life threatening challenges. In each challenge, someone has to die. After 3 rounds, a winner is declared, winning $500,000. It works reasonably well, and is kind of entertaining. The animation is average, as is the scenery, Some of the special effects are nicely done. Camera movement is smooth and swift. The main problem with the movie is the voice talent. I believe all the voices are done by Chris himself, and lots of the voices are too similar. If Chris works hard on the next episodes, and finds other people to do character voices, this could prove to be quite good. Worth a look.

Preview This is one of the first 3dmm movies that has made me laugh out loud in a long time. This is a very humorous short film, about children who decide to fly over the world to ask people to help them with a science project. Very entertaining, and hey, in the end, what else do we want from a short? Review by Patrick Bernardo.
