Short Film shot on A1U

[Adam La Prade]

Hey guys...I was part of my local Campus Movie Fest here in Orlando a few weeks ago. They give us 1 week to make a film under 5 mins. We ended up being nominated for best picture there, moved on to the state competition and won for "Best Concept". Now, were one of16 films being shown at the Atlanta Film Festival on April 27th.

Let me know what you think. It's not professional by any means but it was fun to shoot.

On a side note, I recently sold my Sony A1U to buy a Canon XH A1, so this will be the last of my films shot on the A1U. It was fun guys!

I realy enjoy your film Adam,I am not proff but the film was good.

Hey i just watched your short film. Pretty damn funny! I liked the "Bill & Ted" competition spoof... you made it your own. If you want to hear my extremely amateur critiques here goes:

1) I liked the overexposed feel, but it would have worked even better without the sun flares in the camera lens.

2) The camera angles could have been more interesting, than the 3/4 angle mid range shots all the time. I'd like to see you get more adventurous with angles, movement and timing.

3) Death was great, the outfit and idea that he likes Tarrentino flicks was humorous.

Overall it was entertaining, which I think is hard to do. Good Luck in the future.

Hey Adam, nice job! Clever film and you did a good job exploiting the nature of the consumer camera's lack of contrast detail. The style works and the guy playing Death is funny. Keep it up!
