'Sudden’ looks very cool. Are you planning on cutting a film out of it or is that it? I would love to see more of it. I must say that the 6 frame edits and flashing got a bit annoying… but really want to see more of the clips you have. Do you have any scenes cut? Im a huge fan of Wong Kar Wai.. how bout you?

Tell us more.. post a scene of Sudden if you can. thanks.

Looks interesting - I will definitely look at some of the films...

If I can give some advice - try to use a non-serif font. The one you use look amateurish. Maybe that's your favourite, but it's not considered a good font for web presence. Arial or Verdana will better complement the look of your site, which is otherwise quite interesting visually.

the locations are amazing.

Hey, what codec did you use? I tried to look at some of the films, and I am getting a pop-up 'Do you want to install and run "Windows Media Video 9 Advanced Profile Codec" signed...'

I distrust any 'Advanced Profile' type of stuff by Microsoft, so I guess I am not going to see your films... :(

thanks a lot guys,"Sudden" is a mock up trailer.There is 3 segments about eye diseases that i'm trying to piece together.remember "no script" .The story is made in the editing.About the fonts...all are rough cuts.I have boris grafitti but havent really spent that much time on it.

[kersho]

Jerry there is a QT version *under the page ,if you real hate microsoft so much.

[XCheck]

Yeah, I just found out by scrolling down. Never mind... ;)

[KOVAROVA]

I get the “no script” bit .. but could you mention how you plan on crafting a story out of the footage you have. How does the guy playing pool tie in with the girls? What is that he is carrying while walking? You must have some idea of how this should/could go together. The girls look hot! What is that all about?

It's all right - if it weren't for your explanation, I wouldn't have guessed it's about eye diseases, but it's interestingly cut.

BTW, I meant the font on the website, not in the films. I definitely want to check more of your stuff, but it's kinda long for the time I have now, so I will have to check back later...

Oh, and I didn't say I hate Microsoft. I said I distrust it.

the no script is the calvary i have to climb. I have some ideas though. the girls are tied up with the catholic monk not the pool player.hehehe! the first video is just a mock up trailer though,read my descriptions on the page. check my links on "cinema verite" it's interesting.

[KOVAROVA]

Girls with Monk - what inspired that idea? Sorry for all the questions but I must say that you have me searching for a story line. The detail on the pool players face really makes him look like he lives a hard-edged life. Was that your intention? Who are these people?

“ This is the kind of work that stems out of boredom”

are you serious about this quote? Im not sure I get it… you did this because you were bored? please enlighten.
:-/

[kersho]

The pool player got whack at the end.He is a friend of mine,he is living a hard- edged life ,he had a big hangover when we shot the game. I edited 'Sudden" out of boredom and frustration one night and tried to make it mostly 6 frames per cut (experiment),composited in 3 layers of noise effects on alpha.It went through the second round at CBC ZEDTV's zero to sixty broadcast competition.I don't know if it will win though.

[KOVAROVA]

currently, i can only dream about shooting at locations like that..

[kersho]

im going again there again next year.this time more organize with more cash (I wish) and probably a new "HD-dvx100
DVC-PRO" hope Panny makes one

[KOVAROVA]

you should also add a script or storyline to that list.

[kersho]

hmm...we'll see.i like the surprise though.

[kersho]

More to come,dvx footages----girls this time
