Yep, fourth times the charm this time. Went out today with my co-director Daniel and we shot a little drama short. Hope you enjoy.


When a man ridden with guilt makes the ultimate choice... life hangs in the balance...​

I know you've been busy as heck working on other productions but I had a feeling you'd pull something together for this fest. That screen grab is very 'Last of the Mohicans' for me...like the last shot of that film. Cool locale; I need some expansive landscapes like that.
 
Just wanted to give everyone a production update. Shot everything yesterday evening... Pretty much everything is edited. Need to shoot some flashback footage this week, easy stuff. and plug it in.
 
Congrats on getting your project ready for the fest so quickly! I like the caps, nice moody tone. What is the TRT? Is this one all available light exteriors?

I have been so involved in TTN that I am already two weeks behind on shooting Violet. Got ill and lost a location so I gotta get cranking pretty quick if I hope to get it finished in time.

Thanks man! Yeah, all available light... we actually had a hard time toward the end, as the light was going away on top of the mountain, but the look of the film is supposed to be pretty gritty, so it works pretty well.

The running time is about 2 min. Another short short, lol. We honestly just made it up while driving around yesterday evening, drove up to the mountain and shot it... I have a couple more "flashback" shots to do... one being Saturday (already scheduled) and then some more this week.

Yeah, can't wait to see Violet man!
 
A gritty, slightly underexposed look can work really well for a lot of subjects. If the tone of the subject is dark, then the look should lean in that direction as well.

I wish I could convince myself to shoot a short short. For some reason, I seem to gravitate toward long shorts!

I hope to knock out the last of the exteriors for Violet by the end of next week. I will be shooting the interiors the middle of the following week, so it is going to be pretty close if I finish it in time for the fest. The Super 8mm footage may not be done in time, but I will still shoot it as the fest isn't the primary reason that we are shooting Violet, but I did want to have something to submit.

Again, congrats on getting something together so quickly!
