A short film I DPed on...

This was for the Vancouver Asian Film Festival that went on last week.
We had an idea but the co-director got pissed off on the second day and sort of took over and we had to shoot exactly what he said. I had some slight input on the shots (not as much as I'm used to), I gave some tweaks and suggestions and handled the camera.

A few problems:

1) Lack of real storyline, raises more questions than answers
2) Audio issues, that our director didn't know how to fix but are fixable
3) Cheesy editing within the liquor store

A few things I liked:
1) That one long shot of him walking was done using the XL2 and a fig-rig.
2) The lighting inside the liquor store was excellent.
3) The music works fairly good with it.

Anyways. I hope you enjoy the shots and camerawork, that was my part in the whole thing. He pretty much had the majority of his shots worked out and I just went ahead and tried to tweak them and improve on them. Due to a lack of gun in the store he wanted me to keep it all above the head, but I went and shot some vertical action, like the store owner putting the money into the bag, and then he went ahead and used it. Crazy directors.

Agree with draccan about the aduio, but i thought the editing was perfectly fine, the acting of the girl at the end on the phone was a disappointment though

Hey, I'm in Vancouver too... I might need a DP for a short I'm writing.
Oh yeah? That's cool man. Do you have MSN or anything like that? I'm right downtown Van. What type of gear you got?
