"The Rooster" - by J. Van Auken

ha ha, I say that every time. But this time, I bit the bullet and cut it to min. I think it plays too quickly myself, but I went for it.

Is it that you think you are sacrificing story? Moments?
 
We're at 8:30 without credits now, and I really can't rush through it. It's those long moments that make the whole thing. I can try for a 6 minute cut, but I think that'd take away something really important.
 
So the HVX is noisy.

So I got parallels, a copy of XP, downloaded virtual dub, connected a fw800 1Tb hdd, ALL just to use Neat Video. Took almost a week.

The verdict? Worth it. Totally. When they project Rooster at festivals, it is going to be glassy smooth.

If you have the means, you need this program.
 
Well, it's official that Rooster will be exhibition only. The director and I debated for some time about it, and we agreed that if we cut it to the 6 minutes, something important will be lost.

oh well. More prizes for everyone else
 
twisted my arm. I'll give you the last shot of the film

For anyone interested,

I'm organizing a theater premiere for The Rooster in my home town of Maple Grove, MN, on August 12th.

Hit me up for details
 
Just wanted to announce that simultaneous to the premiere on DVXuser, I will be hosting a high def version of The Rooster on my own website.
 
it's going to be a big event. An 800 seat auditorium, we'll be showing the film, the documentary, then have a Q&A with the film makers. Plus there will be a preview of the next production. DVD's, posters, and sound tracks will all be available.

Not to rain on you, but that could get you DQ'd unless you are only submitting for exhibition. DVXUser servers are supposed to be the only source of public footage until voting closes. Usually that's like a week after the deadline. The reason is so people can't host slightly different versions, etc.

Btw, this short looks awesome! Is this a Vietnam flick?
 
sadly, it is for exhibition only, so I'm not worried about being DQ'd (unless that means they won't let me show it.)

It's a film that deals somewhat with Vietnam, and one scene takes place there, yeah
