Well.. I don't normally do this.. actually I frown upon it.. I think creating trailers for short films is inherently pointless given the shorter running times..

but..

I did feel like showing the intro to my film to get some collective feedback..

thoughts on this..

Linus Intro

I tend to bring out the nut cases.. so this should be entertaining at least..

PS: The zoom effect is a temp.. I will eventually get someone to do a "flash zoom" effect.. a transition you see all the time on CSI and what not.. something to connect two disimilar shots together..

What gear did you use for this short?(DVX?) I think the quality is all that! Also what did you use to edit?
thanks, and give me more.
 
wooah bra! That was really great footage. I liked the typewriter titles alot! Really sharp! Share the details! Too many exlamation marks!

I thought it was shot very well, a little jerky in the beginning. The transitions was good (the line up), only because you lost a little quality with the zoom. I definitely thought it had a movie feel and the soundtrack was really good. Did you make the soundtrack?

The opening shots (of the couple in bed) were really shaky. Since they were over-the-shoulder shots and not POV shots, I think a locked camera would work better....However, the intimacy of the extreme close up is fantastic.

Good job, looking forward to seeing the rest. :thumbsup:

Peace,

No colour correction on any shots, all raw in camera footage, minus the 2.35 matte of course.

I dunno what the settings were, I left that to my dp on the day.

Loki,

I think the shots look great.

However as a teaser, I'm not sure what it's about. I have no sense of the story at all. When we zoomed in on the typewriter I was really hoping there would have been some cool message there. Something mysterious, that would have left me wanting more.

I hope that helps,

Chris
 
well.. it isn't really a teaser perse... I jsut labelled the thread with that title to get people to watch it..

it is basically just the first 2min of my film..

thanks for the comments though..
 
Nice!
I found one thing a little distracting though, and that was the long take of him looking at her. The lighting seemed to change. It looked like the camera man was still adjusting exposure. - It was sutle. Just something I noticed.
I really like the Typewriter titles.
 
That was actually clouds moving in front of the sun... ...

I told the clouds to do that.... and they listened... :costumed-smiley-047
 
I dig it. I will agree with the others, though, in that it was a bit too shaky in the beginning; I also noticed the light changing because of the clouds; and I REALLY wanted to see something written on that page.

The footage looks great, the CU's at the beginning are very intimate, the soundtrack kicks arse, and I want to see more. That is all.
 
for some reason the over the shoulder shot of the guy on the typewriter made me laugh, cause the typewriter looked uncomfortably small for the man. Looks cool, what's it about?
 
nice idea's

nice idea's

I love the typing intro , and could have done without a close up of a guys face. way to cleche these days (especially if you put milk or bareque sauce on it, yuk)I couldn't put the typewriter and the couple together, no connection. I love the type writer close up shot.
music fit the tyypin shots perfectly.
