There was a thread here on the forum from back in 2001 which featured a trailer for a short film created by some high school students, I believe with a Sony VX1000 and pinnacle studio.

It was a 'matrix' type style, the freeze of a bullet shot in a high school bathroom scene, a close up of a fly on someones body, a girl sitting down with arms around her legs, are just some of the parts i remember. I believe there was the word 'girl' in the title, something'girl' . I just can't remember! :)

Anyone?

Thx,

JN

I knew I shouldn't have looked at this thread. This is going to drive me crazy now because after reading your description I remember it completely, but not the title.

Oh it's been driving me crazy! I keep remembering more and more over the past week but not the name, website, essentials!

I bet the thread is just old enough to be gone. I see the cutoff is late 2001 here, I wonder if they have accessible archives. :)

Good to know someone else recognizes it tho. Cheers. :)

I don't think I saw it on this website however. I think it was over at dv.com and they did an article in dv magazine too. I definitely remember it though because I was thinking wow if only I had the technology back in high school.

I bet the thread is just old enough to be gone. I see the cutoff is late 2001 here...We don't work that way. There is no "cutoff." All of our threads going back to the very beginning are still here. The problem in your case is that we didn't go online with the forum until Sept. 5th, 2001 so it probably wasn't this site where you saw it. Sorry about that,

The film was called Girl (Boy) or something like that, and it's posted on You Tube here:

I think it was shot on a Canon XL1, and the final edit was all in B&W.
