Hi,

We just shot our movie for the 48 Hour Film Project. Unfortunately we couldn't enter the competition for two reasons: we exceeded the duration allowed (7min) and we delivered the movie later than they wanted (my pc refused to export when it should)...

Anyway, it was an amazing experience that made us finish it no matter what. I really wanted to get some discussion going on here and read your comments. Just remember, a lot of it I wanted to shoot differently if I only had a little more time. But it had to be done in 48 hours...

Damn Youtube ruins most of the motion with it's huge compressions. I'll try Vimeo or Exposure Room next time.

Waiting for your thoughts :)
 
nobody? :( I really wanted some opinions. I have some doubts, especially about keeping things in focus. For me it has been quite a challenge to keep things in focus, especially when I have actors moving everytime. I use an external HD monitor of course, but it's all very unscientific to me. Basically it's all in the hand of the person in charge of the focus that must rotate it in the right speed to never lose focus of the talent. And that seems very... unpredictable (we had to repeat a few shots because we couldn't focus things everytime during the scene). Well, that's just one of my many doubts :)
 
Hey man. I think you did a good job. The focus seemed fine to me. The only thing that i noticed was the camera jumping a bit when being moved around. Other than that, it was very well filmed. Good job, and good luck with the contest.

Thanks for your words! I think the camera bumps are actually a youtube problem (very noticeable everytime the camera moves). About the focus, I've had a bit of a hard time keeping people in focus when they're moving. It's something that's not really clear to me how it works. Is it really just about the hand of the guy who's focusing?
