"An Orange Rose" by J. Van Auken

[Hans Moleman]

Didn't want to post before the film was completed, but with the project done, I just wanted to announce my entry of "An Orange Rose" for Love Fest. This'll be my first serious entry to a DVXuser fest, and I'm looking forward to it.

Now that the viewing and voting are up, I've added a direct link to the film below. Enjoy!

I like the poster. Good luck. Love the quote by Kubrick too.

glad to see another fellow first timer. do you have any grabs to share?

 

[Hans Moleman]

As per Ugafan's request, here are some pre-CC grabs.

As a side note: Cinelike-D is my best friend.

 

[ugafan]

lol.

 

[Marlon Ladd]

Grabs look good. What camera are you using?

 

[Kyle Stebbins]

nice!

 

[Hans Moleman]

HVX with a Brevis and nikon primes.

As another side note: I've learned the virtues of using a large reflector. they are your friends.

 

[Marlon Ladd]

Cool.

 

[Kyle Stebbins]

Your actor looks like Kumar! White Castle!

(what a truly awful film...)

 

[Hans Moleman]

Your actor looks like Kumar! White Castle!

Finally decided on a CC we like, so here are some grabs:

 

[Hans Moleman]

comments? I tried to make it mild enough to fit the mood (comedy), which was a tough compromise to find.

 

[Chris Messineo]

I liked the original grabs and I think the cc looks even better - well done.

I'm horrible at cc and half looking forward to it and dreading it on my own film.

 

[Hans Moleman]

thanks chris. means a lot I've been a moviepoet fan for some time now, and I hope your project goes as well as you hope. I believe I read that script in a contest some time ago, and I have high hopes for it.

 

[Chris Messineo]

Thanks for the kind words about MoviePoet.com - my script was originally written for one of the contests there. I hope the final film lives up to your expectations.

 

[Hans Moleman]

ah, then I do remember it gave it an 'excellent' if memory serves.

 

[Hans Moleman]

UPDATE: finished the final cut after a week of solid polishing. learned a few lessons about coverage that I'll definetly bring to set next time. Also refined how a 35mm adapter finds its way into a production. Working with primes has really changed how I block my camera.

 

[ugafan]

i'm looking forward to it. good luck!

Great grabs! CC is subtle but effective.
