[Brandon Rice]

An actor who's been in several shorts around here... including one I directed as well

 

[dcarstens]

I'm rubbish with names. Is he this handsome devil?

 

[Brandon Rice]

THat's him all right!

 

[Michael T]

This is great work and I like your style. It fit together nicely.

 

[Mark Williams]

Very impressive. The girls in the desert scenes were my favorite.

Hey David,
Great reel! It's funny; last August I took a music video summer class at USC, and at the final screening for all of the different classes they showed The Infinite Tree. I was absolutely shocked at how good your images looked; a year ago I had no idea digital could look that filmic and beautiful. Nice work!

Great footage. I love the variety of shots...shows your talent in different ways. I also liked the song, although I have heard it on at least one movie trailer recently.

 

[dcarstens]

Hey Graham, did you show your music video at the USC screening? I realize that they didn't have time to show everyone's work in the showcase.

Thanks for the comment cecil- I'm looking for another track to cut the reel to. I'd been considering that ever since World Trade Center came out...

wow, great job.. Thats not all HVX though right? What did you do the stuff with Ron Jeremy with, and also most of the night stuff? Great lighting!

 

[dcarstens]

Justin, in regards to your pm about compression settings, I use Compressor h.264 on medium quality and auto-keyframe. Sound is 128-bit AAC, and that normally gives me good quality for the file size.

The project with Ron Jeremy was a stock HVX project- the following thread will give you more info:

I'd have to detail individual night shots to they're often unique, but you can usually count on a 1200w HMI Par bounced into a muslin frame to be involved somewhere.

 

[Justin Marx]

Thanks.. I was more interested to know if you shot all of the night stuff with the HVX or some other camera?


So I export my project to compressor, then I......... click on the CHOOSE SETTING.... then .....

As specific as you can be would be great.. like, step one.. step 2.... Thanks..

Some really good footage, excellent work.

 

[Drew599]

That was a really nice reel man. The HVX can produce some great images in the right hands.

Hey David,
Yeah they did end up showing the video I made; it was the Death from Above 1979 one with lots of effects (mouths on road signs singing, some underwater swimming, etc.).
