"Brothers" Short Film

Hey everyone,

I recently shot a very short "film" (2.5 minutes) for an online contest using my HV20 and I was quite satisfied with the capabilities and results of the camera.

It was shot entirely in 24p mode with Shutter Priority at 60. The exposure was locked only on certain shots to give them a more unique visual look (i.e. extra sunlight). One thing I did try to do was use contrasting white balance modes between the sequences - the "flashback" scenes were shot in Tungsten mode, and the "present day" scenes in Shade mode. It worked well with the filters I placed on the footage during post.

Also, 96% of the footage was converted to slow motion which also happen to produce some interesting results. It would have been ideal for me to have shot certain scenes in 60i, but I simply didn't have enough time.

So please let me know what you think about the movie, I really hope that I will at least make the top 10 finalists. Thanks!

Dude....that was great. Man...it was an emotional piece. The music lifted this up another notch also. Wow...I could see this ised being a much bigger budget longer film. But what you did in two minutes said the whole thing. the flashback scenes of the kids...great touch. I'm impressed.

outstanding.

extremely well done.

i wish the best for you.


i was gonna enter the contest......but i didn't have enough time to throw something together.
 
Thank you for the kind words! The film took about an entire month to produce, from concept to post, and even for a few people to appreciate it for what it is means a whole lot. Like I said, I really hope that the film at least makes finalists, considering there are so many other great movies in the running. And even if it doesn't, it was definitely a positive learning experience for me and everyone else involved. The HV20 is certainly a wonderful camera, and I can't wait to produce more films with it in the near future.
 
like the guy above said, the music definitely added much more to it, added the emotion to it.
