not much else to say.
 
Hey Neil,
good to see you have come back to the fest. I still love that first joint you did with the model airplane. I still use your dolly too on occasions where the other one is too much.
 
Awesome to see you in!

Does TUNE have anything to do with the type of "tuning" they did in Dark City?

Looking forward to it mang :beer:
 
brandon, i think your post is more to be excited about than this film. ..seriously. :)

sorry ben, no track work. :(

Jack, I saw dark city quite some time ago when it came out, and i cant remember much of it really except the sullen face of the main actor and that sort of comic book like noire look to it. so im going to just guess and say that i dont think its anything like that. this is really just a little peice that sort of popped into my head and I finally decided to do it spur of the moment because i needed to do something just for fun and active participation again. so its sort of quick and dirty, but i think it gives the "twilight" vibe that i wanted it to.

looking forward to watching all your entries!

SIDE NOTE ON DARK CITY: I've posted this about a dozen times. But DARK CITY is a much better (quite good in fact) movie if you watch it with the volume down until Rufus Sewell wakes up in a bath tub - the way I saw it in a test screening sans Keifer Sutherlands V.O. at the top which ruins the movie. Without his V.O. the viewer is placed in the shoes of the protagonist (Sewell) not knowing whether he is a homicidal psychopath without memory of his kilings or whether or not there are forces in play merely making it look like Sewell is a killer. Sutherland's V.O. gives you the answer in the first 2 minuts of the film.

So add it to your netflix cue if you haven't seen it, but watch with the volume down until Sewell wakes up in teh bathtub. (And don't read the spoiler below, it tells you exactly what Sutherland's V.O. does at the top) :)


....

Now for the "tuning" in Dark City ...

SPOILER (highlight to read)

The "tuning" in Dark City referred to when the gray floating men came out at night and changed reality or "tuned" the world.

 END SPOILER
 
I just watched the directors cut of Dark City (one of my favorites), and the director really worked hard to keep that V.O. out of there, but the suits wouldn't budge I guess.

Great way to show a spoiler Jack!


Perhaps Tune has a musical element to it? Give us some hints.
 
Just watched Tune. I loved it. It's experimental in its story telling and technique, which I actually appreciate in contrast to films trying really hard to emulate the conventional style of "the movies." Beautiful camera work. Of course I'd have wanted more from the story when you were giving me such amazing images. Your actors were so good too. Wonderful tone to the whole thing. Your "piano teacher" could have been a little less ominous and it might have worked even better for me. But I found this short makes me want to see more from you.

Exactly. Images were fantastic. Totally agree with the voice. It was recorded great but it seemed a little out of place. otherwise it was one of the best I have seen so far. good job.
