"Art History" Trailer now up .. shot with DVX

eventually sure - film festivals (or rather the decision to enter them) is a no-brainer...but we have some bigger things planned - not just for Art History...

taking over the world (when my DSL connection goes back up that is)

That looks totally rad. I can't wait to see it!

Jarred and Nick. Veery nice... that is a sweet looking production without any visible weaknesses. Solid acting by a well-cast crew with good cinematography and story to back it up.

It was refreshing to stumble across this post tonight. I think I'll end my surfing on an up-note and make this my final input for one evening.

It's inspiring to see that this kind of work is possible with the camera that I couldn't really afford in the first place... I realize it's far more then that, but I'm a little burned out on seeing pretty amature stuff touted as great (mainly in my town)... sure there is lot's of other stuff on this site that's great, but this is probably the most "finished" work I've seen. I'm an OCD perfectionist and I can't find anything to criticise in that clip.

Thanks for the post - hopefully it will be even more impressive when we finish the edit and post.
The uncorrected rough cut trailer seems promising but we're trying to aim a lot higher...

Why does it have an MPAA greenband on it? You can get in trouble for using that if you or your studio are not a member of the MPAA.

it's obviously "styled" after the MPAA green band but it's actually the motion picture association of Fanglor...so that would be MPAF - see www.fanglor.com

Nice Stuff. Appreciate the high production values.
Just a question. Why did you guys not opt for any post colour correction/enhancement? (For my taste, i think some colour work would up the visual value further)

Nick Bicanic · September 27th, 2003, 01:19 AM

We are fully color correcting this on an Avid D|S

but this trailer was cut in 5 hours prior to the wrap party so I had to do it in a hurry - and I didn't put any colour correction into it...

rest assured - final output will look kick ass...

sorry I would have posted more info on this site - but there's a lot of it on www.dvxuser.com

- under the screen grabs threads
