Film trailer, "Toxin"

Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

I liked it - but trailers can be misleading. I want to see how it turns out- keep us posted.

btw, that was shot on the dvx100a correct?
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Looks really good. Do you know how he went about doing the slow-mo. Also it seems like there should be some more punch in the gun SFX. It sounds like production sound in the trailer.
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

I know this is minor, but I think it said, "WILL BE DISCOVERED ..." twice. ???

Otherwise, feels pretty polished. Is this destined for TV? Video? Festivals? It looks like this one had a decent budget ... ;)
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Really hot looking trailer. How was it shot? To me it seems to have a very "video look" to it. The action seems hot and I love the locations like the airplane hanger and the great looking swat guys. I also like the first half with the story set up and the shot of the bug.
I would pump up the low end of the guns, they should sound more impressive, I know guns naturaly sound "smaller" in real life and Hollywood processes that sound effect a lot. Except when I was recording a Desert Eagle .50 in a small shooting range-I didn't have to do anything to that, it was the sound equilivant of a bull kicking you in the face!
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

As far as I know all of the audio in this trailer is just location audio, no sfx.

It destined for festivals. Last update I got from Chris is that its currently in audio post.

He is now looking for a color correction solution beyond what Final Cut is offering. He explored a facility here in Chicago (Swell) that has a great colorist and a DaVinci 2k but it was just too costly.

This film had a healthy budget for a digital short, my best estimate is somewhere around $15k, but he still got a ton of stuff for free. The SWAT team and hanger for a day being one of them. He pretty much ran out of cash for post production.

Great trailer. ;D  Do you Know what Programes he used for the movie? :-/
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

the trailer wasn't bad, I liked a lot of the shots, especially the swat team.
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Man the trailer looks nice. I want to see more.
I also noticed the "WILL BE DISCOVERED" thingy.

Keep us posted

All the best

Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

I went to his website, and he doesn't mention anything about the DVX. He says that they own a DSR-500.

Was this movie shot with the DVX?

All the best

Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Since the site doesn't mention the DVX, I was assuming that they shot it with the DSR-500.
But, until someone confirms, this is just a speculation of mine.

All the best

Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

The second part of the trailer where we see Dreamscape Cinema on the screen really moves. I loved the pacing and the quick editing of shots. The first part was too slow in my opinion. Was that original music being used too?
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

I think some of it is original music. The final mix should be all original music, as Chris is a composer.

This project was shot on the Varicam. The slow motion was achieved by overcranking the camera.
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Don't this look great? On another post somewhere it was confirmed that the film was shot on a high end, High Def camera... I'm not sure if it was the Sony or the Panni varicam. They had a professional DP fly in from somewhere, I forget the details. ::)
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Alas, I did not see the post by Nato. For I am a hack.
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

I mean, it looks great, but whats the point of posting footage shot on a $60,000 camera. What does it have to do with the DVX100 other than it was made by the same manufacturer?
