EX1 Film Festival Entry

[ChrisForbes]

Hi Everyone,

Over the weekend I was involved in a 48 hour film contest. For those who don't know basically you have 48 hours to write, shot, and edit a short film. Including elements designated by the contest organizers.

The entry was shot exclusively with the EX1 at night with only practicals no supplemental lights at all. And then we threw away 80 percent of the picture in post

Here is the link. Our short is titled "Strangers To Kindness"

The elements that had to be included were:
1. 10 seconds of dancing
2. A musical instrument
3. The phrase: "Did you know that the Louvre was originally built to be a fortress?"
4. The character: Alexander Bischovsky, Gallery Owner

Thanks,
Chris Forbes

Not bad...

Good short and a clever twist.

I'm pleased to see who well the EX-1 did in low level lighting.
It's just too bad that YouTube "crushes" the video so badly, it's would be cool to see the full-res version.

I don't know about full rez but I'll have a much higher quality clip posted when we tighten the edit a little.

Thanks for the comments.
