good

This was good work for a fan film. Better than most I've seen. The camera work was great, the effects looked like they were almost straight from the game they were so good. The sounds were decent, as was the music score. Overall, my only misgiving was that it was only 10 minutes long. I wanted there to be more.

Also, I liked the fact that you got the voice actor of the Mass Effect games to play your main Character. That has to be one touch that no other fanfilm has gotten before.

I would recommend this video to any real fan of the Mass Effect game series,or even just people who want to know more.

Another very forgettable fan film

"Red Sand: A Mass Effect Fan Film" is a 14-minute science fiction / action short film from almost 5 years ago and as so many other times with these genres it adds really nothing new unfortunately. Of course it is just a fan film, but still. It is the first effort as writer and director by Caleb Evans and he got Mark Meer to appear in here, an actor who is fairly known also from the video games that this little film here is based on. It is not a complete failure, especially taking into account that Evans has never made a film before, but I still had higher expectations judging from the film's IMDb rating. The story is fairly uninteresting and the film relies almost entirely on visuals. Never a successful recipe. Not recommended.
