Ben, I would say 'well done' but I'll wait for my AIM session before I say anything too nice. I might regret it.

Really good film guys. you made my top 7 for sure.
 
Ben, congrats on your film. I'm honored to be on the list with you.

Va Beach isn't THAT far from Charlotte. We need make a movie together.

Proof that true filmmakers spend all their money on gear.... none on pants.

lol. you're argument is problematic, it's also obvious from homemade dolly and spiderbrace that we don't spend money on equipment :)

I want to see how you did that dolly shot over the walls. Any pics of that?

hmm ... i don't think i have any pics of that. But here's how we did it. The room that we shot that in has an open ceiling going in to the hallway.

It's the hallway and the room behind the wall in this shot.

So, we put an 8ft piece of dolly track on the edge of the ceiling and braced it with two c-stands/boomarms on either end. as for the dolly, I drilled a hole as close as I could to the edge without interfering with the wheels, and justin tilted the tripod head down over the edge to get the "bird's eye" angle, of course, we counterweighted the other side of the dolly so that it wouldn't tip over from 10 ft up. From there, justin just ran it back and forth, (he was sitting on a ladder) i was directing from behind the wall in the back room (where the making-out was occurring).

My favorite part about those shots is that they cut together well. Also the shoes on the ground, i thought it would be neat for them to change.

Cool way to use an available space. I thought it was a set. The dolly moves match up really well and adds a lot to the story. Same thing with the dolly move into that wipe transition. Wipes always seem cheesy to me, except when they're done in such a way that makes them invisible. I didn't even notice it the first time. :thumbup:

I have another question- Why did you choose to greenscreen the girl? Practicality? To match the guys montages?
