A Jack Stanley Film: Inside The Lens Cap

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Hey everyone here is my DARKNESS themed All Hallows Fest Entry called

"Inside the Lens Cap"


Here is my poster

And here's a couple of screen grabs:

From the first scene:

One of my favorites:

I hope this one doesn't give too much away :huh:

 

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

That's awesome!
I'm giving it a 5 star rating.

Cheers,

Mike

 

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Thanks. I know with some of the grabs, expectations may be high.

I hope I can deliver.

What'd you shoot this on, your HVX? I don't see *any* noise in the darks here.

 

[DimmuJed]

Jack...Daniel...Stanley, YOU SIR, are...my hero.

 

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

heheh

Barry, I shot on the RED.

It was an expensive rental, but I felt I really needed the increased lattitude.

 

[Barry_S]

Wow--powerful stuff. Good job on the grading--you really got a rich deep black I don't often see. Unfortunately the subject matter is a little...graphic...for DVXFest, so I'm going to have to DQ your film.

 

[Edgen]

... shhhhh. .. yup. I'm hearing it Jack.. I've got the perfect music just for you. I'm thinking it'll be reallly easy to score. (shouldn't take but a few hours to perfect)

and... here it is in all it's glory. Turn up your speakers real loud.

ahh. the bliss.

 

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Justin it's perfect. Downloading now.

 

[Drew Ott]

These look really nice. My favorite is the second one. Great composition, Jack.

I hope you don't mind, but I did some grading to see what I could get out of it. I came out with this.

I look forward to seeing this.

Links to the original Redcode files for the shoot.

They're big files -- be patient.

 

[Jay Rodriguez]

actually, i was on the second camera unit for this film, people say that JDS and I have opposite yet complimentary styles. That being said ... that a-hole didn't use any of my footage ... here are some screen caps.

 

[Drew Ott]

I like yours but they don't quite fit the theme of the piece to me.

Don't worry though, they are lovely.

 

[Jack Daniel Stanley]

Yeah sorry.

I had enough continuity problems with the footage I shot because I shot outdoors at all different times of day ... but yours just wouldn't cut in.

Jay ... as for settings, remember I shot on the RedONE and there are no settings for that camera. You capture clean and then change in post.

 

[Ben Sliker]

i really appreciate the feedback bballplaya283, jack can be harsh with his rejection sometimes, i just don't understand, i thought they were beautiful as well.

Your banner in your sig is rockin' Jack.

Later,

[Luis Caffesse]

Weird - those grabs look interlaced.
Interesting aesthetic choice.

 

[Jason Ramsey]

Any chance we can see the raw 4k grabs, Jack? At least one or two? It's hard to tell from those as they are so small and a bit compressed (albeit still amazing quality). I'm anxious to see what someone of your caliber can do with the RED, so I'd really like to see some raw grabs...

Thanks,
Jason
