Show Your Work 2005

Peter Murphy · January 18th, 2005, 03:59 PM

Hey thanks, I shot it on a dvx100 with the widescreen conversion lense at 24p.

And as a side note I don't think the point was to say that your evil or different if you go to harvard, it was just to show that you can be accomplished and still not be satisfied. Which is obvious so maybe I'll get rid of it.

Thanks for checking it out,

Peter

Amen!

Dave Ferdinand · January 18th, 2005, 06:12 PM

Good job, but with a DVX100 you could have done it in colour?

Rob Lohman · January 19th, 2005, 08:53 AM

It was okay for what it is: a fun piece for you guys who where
there. I did think you showed a lot of what everybody shows in
movies like this. Try to find some creative angles (no, not that
kind, heh) etc. (I know you didn't really put any thought into it
when shooting).

Rob Lohman · January 19th, 2005, 08:54 AM

I thought it was okay. Some stuff looked excellent, but some
sections definitely had a video-ish feel. I didn't however get
very excited to see the full piece or get a feeling of danger /
bad guys.

Really liked the opening of teaser 2 and a section in the trailer
where the same guy is circling around the guy with the goggles.

Thanks Rob, to tell you the truth, this was never intended to make it look film, and so the video-ish look is fine, as long as the color of the scene is appropriate for the style/look I am going for. This is a fan film, and it is a comedy/anime short film that will be poking fun of a lot of things, so it won't be on feeling of 'danger' anywhere. :) Much appreciate your comments.

Less cars, more naked.

Brent Ray · January 19th, 2005, 02:45 PM

Hahahaha.... my favorite part is when those two woman are groping each other. There's the obvious reason why, but the more subtle and potentially greater reason is the look on that 7-year-old kid standing there watching while playing with his junk. That is absolutely hysterical! Good work.

Cliff Hepburn · January 19th, 2005, 03:20 PM

I had to go back and look at what Brent was talking about, too narrow mindedly distracted to notice anything else.
What's not to like, you got cars and chicks.

Brandon Greenlee · January 19th, 2005, 07:27 PM

Nice video. Had a dtmpower feel to it.

Were you the one that filmed those girls making out in front of that little kid?!!?

That video was all over muchosucko not too long back. Its pretty popular on the net. Be pretty cool if I knew the guy that shot it. ;)

James Millne · January 19th, 2005, 08:27 PM

might not be the exact same footage you've seen though as there was another guy filming over my shoulder and I've since seen his footage. It actually took me a while to notice the kid as well when I was editing it.

Riley Harmon · January 21st, 2005, 02:34 AM

I made this 9 min short for my interview that will be in feburary for a summer film camp that I went to last year and hope to go to again this year. It was based off of a poem I wrote. I fell in love with the soundtrack to "Garden State" so I used alot of the music from that in it. It's currently only in quicktime, sorry :-/

Written and storyboarded in a day, shot in a week, edited in a day. Shot with a PV-DV953 frame mode (hoping to upgrade :-/ ) Premiere Pro 1.5, After Effects. Yada yada yada...

*and yes...i cast myself as the lead...its hard to work around other kid's schedules, especially when on a limited time frame, so please mind the craptastic acting (maybe im just saying that cuz I hate watching myself)*

Gilles Guerraz · January 23rd, 2005, 06:58 AM

Hi Yohann,

very good stuff indeed.
Colours look pretty good, and actors did a great job.
And the writing is very good. It just sounds real.

I wish your film was longer ;)

Good job.

P.S. Why don't you show it on french-speaking forums, such as "Repaire" for instance ?
