Don’t Trust Anyone
By Stewart ( ST_ DVXuser.com )


I recommend you download (right click, save target as) my video so you can maximise it.
I will run out of bandwith, so if you don't get a chance to see it PrivateMessage me your email and i will send you a 18mb version.

Synopsis:



The galanium gem is an relic worth millions, this short movie explores, from a slightly comical yet serious point of view, the corruption within the corruption of crime. You truly can’t trust anyone, no matter what side or who’s side your own. (i dunno, its kinda lame...)



Production Information:



I wrote down a few lines at 8:00pm on the 24th of March, then recorded everything before 11:00pm, woke up at 7am on the 25th of March and edited until 12:00midday to completion, so that’s 8 odd hours. (Excluding the last 2 days I have spent trying to compress it!)



It was all recorded in the dark and was kind of difficult because all I have are household lights.



Everything was from one take as we were getting kind of tired and just wanted to finish it.



I’m a student and have only studied this for about 2 months………



So with all that said… don’t expect a master piece…… but I think it turned out all right for my first short movie with the DVX100!



If you have trouble seeing anything (since its really dark) you might have to increase the brightness/contrast of your monitor/graphics card.



Written 27th March 2005.

Watermark Info


I used a trial version to compress the file so there is a huge watermark on it. To reduce the amount of watermark on the image I moved the movie to the top left corner hence the picture below:

If the watermark is irritating this is what I do to reduce its disturbance (maximise to full screen and drag to bottom right hand corner so only movie is on screen) (still leaves some watermark but not much):

So sorry about the watermark, I can’t buy the software for a while and by the time I get it the contest will be over!
