Show Your Work 2005

I'm glad that someone has allowed the very deep philosophicalable complexities of this trailer sink in.
I leave it for interpretation of the masses...

Just finished a music video, which I shot on my xl1s. Just wondering people thought. It should start playing on MTV base here in the UK fairly soon.

The video was for Lynden David Hall, who won the mobo awards best newcommer a few years back and appeared in the film 'Love Actually'.

I had a day to find a location, aquire equiptment and a day to shoot. Very tight!!

I hope you like it. Any feedback welcome.

Although I didn't like the music - it doesn't matter anyway :-p - your lightning was fantastic, really! It maked the whole thing look very professional, and cameramovement was very okay too.

Damn man, in a day...
Keep up the great work!

I liked it, I agree with what's said above. There's a couple continuity errors and I think the nighttime effect could have been a little darker with little more contrast to add some mystery. I also think you should have shown a few different angles for the kick.
I liked the burglar's POV when he's about to hit the floor.
Overall, it's funny and a great first film.

That was a really professional piece. What was the budget on it? I really enjoyed the office scenes. The lighting was very impressive.

Brandon Greenlee · February 11th, 2005, 03:11 PM

Awesome work.

Makes my XL1s shoots look in vain. ;)

Keep it up!

George Castro · February 11th, 2005, 03:40 PM

wow, this is pretty amazing. Looks more film like than the other music video links i saw that were done with the Sony HDV cams. Goes to show it takes much more than just the camera.

Great job dude!

Thanks so much you guys. Your comments make all the hard work woth it.

Steve, The budget for the entire piece including equiptment hire, location, food, labor, everything was £2000.00 Finished. That didn't leave a whole lot of money after equiptment. But well worth it!

I tried hard to focus my attention on good framing and most importantly, good lighting so I am really pleased you guys think the lighting worked out ok!

Thanks Again!
Nick

Great job! I actually went back to read your email to make sure I had read XL1 instead of DVX100. It shows that any semi-pro camera when used properly can result in professional-like footage.

I noticed the lighting and framing too, all very well done. Well use of the crane as well - it's obvious you know what you're doing.

And finally the post-production. Not sure what package you used but loved the colour correction you applied to the video.

Makes 28 days look pale in comparison, and that's to say something.

This is a short film I made of a road trip with me and my buddies to cape hatteras. When I first got my GL2, I was looking all over for what people thought were good attempts at a filmic look in their product and I had some difficulty finding those (at least on the web)...I thought I'd share one of my creations which I think is most filmic for anyone who'd like to look...Most especially the first beach sequence is probably visually my best work to date. Don't expect any kind of storyline.

Enjoy.

Thank you for your support.

Help make the short a winnah!

Brandon Greenlee · February 12th, 2005, 09:57 PM

Ok that was scary.

I just heard this kinda cool song on the radio, looked it up and downloaded it.

I was listening and turned it off to watch your video. Then I realized I must not have closed it, but I did. You used the exact same song I had just dl'ed and was listening too.

Too many coincidences in the world.

Good video. Kinda reminds me of a video I made of our Panama City Beach trip last summer. But as you can imagine there is alot of 'miscellaneous' footage in it. ;)

The fun of being young.

Scott Silverman · February 13th, 2005, 04:01 PM

Hey this is a movie that me and some friends made last night in an hour or so. I thought it turned out to be OK. Please tell me what you think and how I might improve anything for next time (focusing mainly on the editing of the movie). Thanks!

The movie is here for you to see (it's about 20MB). If when you try to open it, it asks you what application to use, tell it to use Quicktime. If you're on a Mac, you may need to do a control-click on the above link and then choose "Download Linked File As..."
