Collections vol.4: Mint in box

UPLOADED!

We ran into some last minute problems (as always). We had some issues with DPX files from the coloring session so we had to do a last minute grade on some shots from the original files.

Additionally. Due to the time limit, we're going to put the part of the short with TJ Miller up as a bonus / out take reel. Couldn't fit it into the 6 min. Will let you know when we upload it.

Really happy with it though. Could still use a few tweaks... but really happy.
 
I can't wait to see this film. I used to collect star wars figures myself and am psyched to see what you do with it. And just from the shots, it just looks amazing!

I like how it seems that your everyday life shots have a low saturation to them, very dim in contrast to the shot of the vivid and bright shot of the girl in front of the star wars figures... Can't... WAIT

Oh, and what camera? (I might have missed it in an earlier post, but I didn't see it on second viewing)
 
Put the poster on the first page! check it out:

great use of short format; perfect pacing. The lead was great. Technically, this was on the money. Composition was great. Good work.
 
Woah great job! 10 Stars in my book.
Thou I cried when he destroyed the toys- please tell me that they where props not originals.

Cudos to cinematography and acting. Are your talents professionals?
Verry good framing and light.

haha at the guy screaming wilson. really enjoyed this one. lighting and camerawork were great, even the outdoor night shots looked perfect.
 
Great acting! This one is on the money! I do feel that it has "title issues" though... ; )
 
LOL! Very funny stuff. I could see the ending coming long before it got there but the payoff was still great.

One or two dark scenes were a little noisy but overall this looked fantastic! Very well shot and the lead was hilarious!

No time for 1 frame of credits though?

A comedy that was actually funny! Woohoo! Great job.

*SPOILER*



One quibble, the truck in on the girl's face at 3:28 was a dead give away. Her expression radiated lust not disgust. lol. Geek alert!

You've broken a lot of geek hearts along with those toys. You probably should avoid Comicon this year.
 
That was WICKED. Haha, I really enjoyed watching this. Acting was spot on, music worked well with it and editing was nicely paced.

*SPOILER*

Those toys...did you actually wreck them? Seriously? Haha, that made me cry too.

As it says in the poster, those are Jordan's real toys.

Thanks everyone for watching!

We have a lot of outtakes for this one and all of TJ's stuff. Is it ok to post this stuff now?
 
hey guys, nice work. loved the muted hues and rich browns in the interiors. some of the edits worked against the stellar performances as they betrayed a continuity of performance. one in specific was outside when our geek hero started stuttering over himself on the sidewalk, some of the cutting there seemed to be in service of using the best beats of multiple takes, but it fractured the performance because there was a lack of "emotional" continuity across the cut... if that makes sense.

geek girl was really great. very earnest performance, although I was scratching my head a little over why she was so into getting inside this guy's apartment and then not so into him on the couch -- but i can take that as a complexity of her character as well. and last, your big payoff, smashing of the toys, went on a little long for me. the whole thing felt like it was riding a certain level of realism (despite the double moons) but then veered off into farce/slapstick.

these are all minor though. on the whole it was solid work and I only offer them up as fodder for creative consideration. well done.
