It's not awful, I'm just not sure what the point is - you're not mashing up The Shining and Prometheus in any kind of interesting way, you're just using the Prometheus music for a recut Shining trailer. Which is fine for what it is, but yeah you're going to annoy people looking for Prometheus stuff.

This is Shades of Gray. It's a dark, surreal film that me and my friends made for our Film and TV Acting lesson. Everyone I've shown it too so far compliments it, with the only critical comments being that the opening credits are a tad too long and that it could afford a better aspect ratio or a vignette. However, I'd rather have an unbiased outsider's perspective. What about the film works for you? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rExL3hU2-48

Here is my third movie in my 12 movies in 12 months project. It's a cheesy little movie about play doh with stop motion. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NgwxzUzkTqo I have some problems with timing on this movie. Some things drag on too long and others not enough. The lighting in the movie is also not ideal. The big point of this project is for me to experiment and keep busy with films so it was successful in that respect. Optimist with doubt fucked around with this message at 16:50 on Apr 2, 2012 |

Pros - You used a tripod and the opening credits, while long, looked professional. The score was nice too. Cons - Lots of stuff. I don't understand the story. You break the 180 degree rule a lot, so you have two dimly lit neckbeard characters swapping position on screen. Audio noticeably drops out often. The underexposure was more distracting than evocative. All these things together mean it's very very hard to watch.

Here's my most recent short: It's called "Upload" and is about getting a disease in which everything I think gets uploaded to YouTube. About 22 minutes. Here's one I made a couple of years ago too. It starts a bunch of people from the upright citizen's brigade theater in NY and is about a teacher who was stabbed:

http://vimeo.com/37154806 An 11 minute short my group of friends/film crew put together over winter break this year. We specifically made it to enter into the vimeo film festival, but depending on how it does there we will be looking into putting it into other local and short focused festivals in the future. Any feedback would be awesome! Oh, and I'm the writer/director.

About a year ago I posted this in this thread:Magic Hate Ball posted:Here is a fabulously mostly-finished (editing-wise) short film I wrote and co-directed just a couple weeks ago: It's always bugged me that a) it was a rough cut and b) I didn't have the video file, so I took advantage of some downtime at school and put together a fabulous new cut: Inappropriate Mastication (3:16) Mostly it's just lots and lots of trimming, losing a whole 2:18 (half of that was just losing the opening credits), which speeds things up, but there's a couple new shots at the end that I like, as well as new music. I wish I was able to work with such a good camera again - people say the equipment doesn't matter, but it really, really helps, particularly when you know how to use it. Didn't have as much luck this semester, but here's what I've been doing: sound effects 101 (did everything but shoot it) storyboard trade (we were assigned each other's storyboards - I got a page of lovely manga) dicking around with the green screen (that's our professor - the video goes off the rails at :24 because I finished really early and got bored)

Magic Hate Ball posted:About a year ago I posted this in this thread: This one really benefits from the trimming and tightening. The original version is hard to watch in comparison, due to the very slow opening. The trimmed cut sucks the viewer in a lot better, and gets right to the point. On the early shots, I wasn't too fond of the cinematography, since there are a few strangely framed shots (00:30 for example), and the colour grading is a bit too greyish for my tastes (inadequate light?) but I did dig the moving camera on the pool shots. I like the general idea, and there's some decent comic timing. I actually laughed out loud on the banana part. I would've hoped perhaps a stronger twist on the ending, but as a whole, that was a decent and funny short. I enjoyed it. I watched that manga short too and holy poo poo, I'd be pissed to have to work with someone's lovely anime. I just released one of my larger short film projects on the Youtube, with English subtitles. It's called Goremageddon, a splatter comedy about a guy who's having a really lovely day. Kind of a Falling Down by the way of Troma. I'm kinda surprised it's still up, since it's kinda raunchy. My role in the film was directing, shooting and editing it, as well as working on the special FX. We originally made it for the Trash and Underground film festival here in Finland, and it was intended as a homage to old Finnish underground splatters and Troma movies. Halfway through the shoot we got an offer from an actual horror film festival called Cinemadrome, that if we could deliver the movie 4 months early (essentially slashing the post production to 2 months instead of 6), it would be featured on their autumn screening, between Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Evil Dead 2 (they tend to show a lot of 35mm prints of classic horror movies). Obviously, that was a too big an honor to miss, so I worked my rear end off with it and managed to deliver the movie 3 days before the festival. We had about 20 days of shoot. That's a lot for a 20 minute movie, usually I spent that much on full lenght features. However, we had a shitload of FX work to do, so that took a lot of time. It's kinda offending for some, since it's pretty much a tradition of Findie splatter to be insensitive and throw some incorrect jokes and tons of blood and guts on the screen. So far people have loved it though, it had an awesome reception on both the Cinemadrome and Trash & Underground festivals. I'd love to hear some comments about it. http://youtu.be/d_7tNw6G38M It's very  for blood and nudity, and also kinda  if you're squeamish about gore and bodily fluids. The subtitles can be activated from the Closed Caption-selection.

The trimmed cut sucks the viewer in a lot better, and gets right to the point. For some reason, back when we first made this, I was really, really attached to the opening sequence. It was like, no, we gotta have this, it's so good! And then I came back and re-edited and it was the first thing that went out the door. Totally unnecessary. I'm frustrated by a good portion of the cinematography. I didn't do any of it, at least not in a hands-on way, that was all my group-mate. He wasn't like, incompetent or anything, but he wasn't the greatest either. There's another shot during the banana sequence at about 2:08-ish where Pete's forehead is cut off that drives me nuts, but it's not like I can go to everyone who ever watches it and say "sorry, not my fault, sorry, not my fault", so there it is. I might go back and tinker with the color-grading if I have the time, though, the lighting was way, way low and the cinematographer refused to push the exposure (I don't mind grain, but I think his mindset was that he'd bought a T2i and dammit it was going to be grain-free), so I had to gently caress around with the Shadow/Highlight function and it came out kinda messy.

And then I came back and re-edited and it was the first thing that went out the door. Totally unnecessary. Yeah, kill your darlings and all that. I usually try get perspective on my works by leaving the movie untouched for two weeks after I've achieved rough cut (if the postprod schedule allows). Usually that's enough time to get a bit of a distance to it and look at the work more objectively - and also results to a ton of trimmings.

I think he might have been right about not pushing the exposure, since the sensor noise on 550D/T2i does look pretty atrocious when cranked over 800 ISO. I'm guessing he was already pushing the lens aperture and shutter speed close to it's limits, at least judging from the motion blur and bokeh on the pool scenes. Getting more lights would've been the best solution (well, I suppose it always is  ).

This is a prologue to a dramatic sci fi web series I am developing. This isnt your typical shot handheld on a 5D in a warehouse with natural light post apocalyptic web shorts stuff you typically see on youtube. While that certainly can be done well, its gotten stale for me. We shot this on a sound stage/set in my school for my sophomore final project, with a pretty awesome production behind it(big ole 5k fresnels, Kino 4 banks, 1.2k HMIs, spider dollies, jib arms) Anyways, hope you enjoy. https://vimeo.com/41411274

This is a short "clip" from a phony mockumentary a friend and I came up with. We're currently working on the details for a feature length mockumentary following the same character. What you see was fully improvised, I'm not a professional scat singer by any means. The quality is pretty low, tried some video compressor that claimed to keep the quality high after compression, but I've proved them wrong  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bxrXJPpUOSk coolguy90000 fucked around with this message at 03:35 on Jun 8, 2012 |

My latest short film, shot and edited over the past two weeks as the final project for a digital video class: Six Miles South Of Caruthers (5:04) - Matt and Heather, a couple on tense terms, find their relationship further strained when they come across a dead body on the way to a party. I may or may not make some adjustments, but whatever I do it has to be done by Thursday.

I've been off the cinematic creation wagon for a while due to the clusterfudge of a post-production process (which still going on) of a feature I directed, but I recently decided to just hit the ground running with a crappy DV camera and shoot the crap out of anyone that would give me their precious time. Hooray for no lighting, low resolution and shaky handheld magic! Here's a video of the dangers of dancing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1C0aNANvP8I OR Recently I made a commercial for a local video store: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_w-Z1rzmUFM There's more there, but they all fall under the spell of 'silly youtube posts'. High Art? Naw. But anyone who wants to go out and make stuff should never forget that you can't just sit around for the perfect elements to click into place - sometimes you have to keep yourself nimble by just going out there with whatever camera you can find to film the crap out of stuff.

I realize this is the "post your short films" thread and not the "post your gopro bullshit" thread, but I don't really know where else to put this to ask for critique from people that know what they're doing. Here's the... fourth(?) video I've ever edited and put on the internet for people to see. I bought a gopro a few months ago and I'm having a really good time with, and it's slowly getting me interested in learning about the right way to edit/film things. Rip it apart please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AiMXaPwwY0U

If the video is supposed to be instructional in some way, how? Basically, who is your audience?

About a year ago, I was living in Houston, I was out of work, and watching Craigslist everyday responding to pretty much anything that looked interesting. This guy posted an ad wanting someone to come film him singing a song he had written. Even though I had pretty much no experience filming anything, I did have a camcorder and told him I'd do it. Well, when I showed up, he explained this bizarre idea he had about wanting to perform at his nephew's Barmitzvah, and needing to make a video to convince them to let him. He said he had written a song, but really he had just changed one word of Billy Jean. Well, I realized this guy was nuts, and I just filmed everything he did. Afterward, I emailed him the footage of him singing, and I've never heard from him again. However, I thought the footage I had was too good, so I edited it into a little documentary. I've never been able to figure out what to with it since it has a lot of Michael Jackson music in it, but despite the fact that the quality and camera work aren't the best, I think it's pretty hilarious and well worth the 15 minutes to watch it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jj9AtXTAUfo
