UNTITLED the movie

Well-known member
just thought i may as well attempt to put an entry to this comp.
i've thought of a few ideas.
the best being a little piece based around the premiss; what if there where more of me.
i will have no help.
just me and a dead camera. no batteries and the tape-deck doesn't work.
to get around this i will have to live capture all the footage with a 1m firewire cable attached to my lap top - all plugged into an extension cable because i had one of the "probably going to blow up" batteries. still waiting on the replacement.
so it's just me in my house. i don't have a tripod or anything.
i also have a really bad 35mm adapter. it's made out trash that i found today.

**** nikon lens, cardboard and electrical tape, plastic chinese takeout tray and the front of some binoculars.

it's completely unstable and doesn't work properly and i made it in 5 min a couple of hours ago as a proof of concept.

it's 9:30pm
i will update as the night progresses and document the process.
i think i read somewhere that an artists worst enemy is not having limitations.


give me luck

right, well.
i've finished shooting the rough draft. i am going to start editing it soon..
it has no plot what so ever. it's all out of focus. it's too dark.
i will post some of the pics of making it up later when i figure out how to do it.
does any one know the code or how to post pics?

i had this idea that i'd upload this rough draft to youtube, people would watch it and then give comments on what to add. shaping the story, i would then go and shoot that. edit, upload and it continues... a group movie in realtime.

just a thought. not enough time for me to do it now but maybe some people could do that in the future. a whole feature like that would be cool. just start off with a piliminary idea and watch it shape.
 
little update

i've finished the editing. i am just about to do the musical score.
it goes for 2:24

i scrapped the original idea and went with something easier

it now has a title. yay!!! "living with demons"
it's still a working one though.

it's not as bad as i thought but it's still pretty bad..
 
thanks to every one.

finally finished it. there where about 6-7 hours of production time
it was made in less than 24 hours and i got a full nights sleep mid way through that.
i am now encoding the footage.


hope you all enjoy it.
 
Way to put it in kickass gear and get yourself a film made :)

Looking forward to seeing it. Hopefully I don't confuse it with the other "untitled" pieces out there :)

OH MY GOD!

I actually thought you were kidding in your first post! I thought it was an elaborately crafted "joke" post (and a VERY funny one at that)! Kudos to you, man, for making that Chinese take-out tray 35mm adapter--I love your ingenuity and willingness to work with what you have, and NOT just whine and make excuses (like me) why you can't make your film because you don't have the "right" camera or the "right" location or whatever. Also, I think alternative imaging techniques can be very interesting, and extremely artistic in capable hands. I truly applaud your effort on this project and look forward to seeing what you come up with! Good work, jenningsp!

P.S. Love your title!
 
thanks you guys.

the whole film is a bit of a joke but i'm ready to upload. YYYYAAAAYYYYY!!!!
i've encoded the mpg2 + aiff + dolby 2.0.ac3 aaaaaand the H.264.

all ziped and waiting. 131.4 mb
 
that program costs $350. i read in one of the posts that it's ok to have the audio seperate. ah well, the sever people will have fun. i'm aplying for a film course over the next few weeks and was wondering what you guys think of this film, in regards to getting in. once you've watched it i would like a hell of alot of feedback.
 
hey everybody. just thought i would let everybody know.
i am in australia, melbourne.
i am a director/writer/cinematographer/editor/musician/actor
if anybody needs a little bit of work done on a short in the future, i am more than happy to oblige
just pm me.
 
so, i've finnished. YAY!!!

but i needed to come up with a tag line as some sort of description. and here it is

'the zeitgeist of horrorfest 2006'

cant wait to upload.
 
hey hey, everybody.

i'm having lots of problems with uploading so i decided i would make some behind the scenes stuff for you all. i'm just editing it together now so hold onto you hats. it'll be done in about 30 min.
