Here's a teaser trailer for a short film we shot last summer. Been doing post production since then, but its finally done.

Shot on a 5D entirely on a single lens, Leica 50mm.

Totally bitchin'. I especially liked the shot of the actress on the road with the headlights coming up behind. Your color palette really looked great as well. Good job!

Thanks very much Matt!

looks great, was wondering what is the name of the music?

Nuno Dias · May 24th, 2011, 08:53 AM

I did the music for the film and trailer, they have no names...

Now that's a very explicit film. I really felt the cruelness of it all. That's what you were going for yes?
I liked the general composition of the footage. Didn't like the forest scene - how it was lit. To contrasty and not enough light on the subjects. My opinion:)
The sequence has an overall nice rhythm. The story is vague so that the message is delivered nicely. Just as a short film should function!

Anyway nice work!

Hey Sanjin, yes I guess you can call it "cruel"... I wanted to make this film with a dark point of view. Anyway thanks for your message and thanks very much for watching.

Sanjin Svajger · June 2nd, 2011, 07:16 AM

Thank you for making a great film for others to watch:)

Just out of curiosity: what was this shot on?

Nuno Dias · June 2nd, 2011, 12:48 PM

We shot it on the 5D, some sequences we used two cameras. And Leica R lenses. :)

Very good effort! Loved the acting and camera work. Good music. The only negative I can find is that it resembles 'No country for old men' too much in its style and pacing. But that doesn't detract from the excellent work you guys have put in.

All the best on the festival circuit!
