Production Vlog for Storyhive winner "A Red Pill"

Behind the scenes for "A Red Pill", winner of a Telus STORYHIVE production grant.

Hello mister police. I forgot to mention this in the body of the vlog itself, but the lighting is ass. Sometimes it's good, but most of the time it's ass. This extends to the grade as well. One little girl looks green. It's almost as bad as Sherlock season 1.

There's so much to talk about I didn't even get around to mentioning the wall of fire that soldiers just push open like a door, the way characters will just stand and have Very Important Conversations at full volume in the middle of crowds of snooping nobles, Little John's iron arm stub that he makes so that they don't need to keep disguising Jamie Foxx's real hand, or how Friar Tuck is simultaneously the most entertaining and least meaningful character, largely present out of obligation. If you want a better Robin Hood watch the Errol Flynn movie, and if you want more entertaining cheese watch Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I will say this was more entertaining than the endless bore of the 2010 Ridley Scott film.

This movie really kinda defies classification. I'm not sure it's a bad movie, but it's not quite a good movie either. If they had stuck to just the A plot it would probably have been a passible but forgettable thriller, but they didn't, and we have been blessed with the result. Jenny Nicholson's vlog is going to be so much better than mine.
