Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Yeah.. the music was what captured me too... and when i do my edits, the music usually sets the pace of the edit. I liked the way the editor did the last part of the text... (although there was the repeat in the earlier part).
Great job...

Yes, of course. But this is for DVX footage only. You should have posted it in the Cafe ala DVX.

All the best

Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Wasn't shot on a DVX? How dare you. You crushed our hearts and dreams and aspirations. As I touched myself last night watching the trailer, I thought about how much tweaking I had to do with my DVX, to get it to look like that. Then you dropped a bombshell and crushed my heart. I hope Ebert and Roepert give you a 2 thumbs down man.

HA.

I lied. It was actually shot on VHS.

You can return to touching yourself.
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Actually, it was shot with a very special new technique where the ENTIRE 25 minute film is all individual still shots from my standard 35mm camera...shot on the worst black and white film available and all the color was added with crayon in post production :o

OK not so much....

I'm sorry this thread was started in an inappropriate list, but thank you all for your comments. I'm sure you'll all appreciate that this trailer was made from the rough cut of the film (actually before it was ever edited and color corrected, etc) and I have since just recently re-edited the trailer from the final cut of the film.

If anyone has any questions or would like to speak with me further about the project I would be happy to do that as you see fit.

Thanks again for your interest and you can keep an eye on www.dualfilms.com/toxinmain.htm for updates on the film and the new trailer once it is released in a few days!

Kindest regards,

Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Chris,
Please dont take my comment the wrong way. The trailer is fantastic, its just misplaced. I feel, that everything in this "room" should be DVX100 footage. If the truth be known I was just severely disappointed that this great looking footage wasnt DVX100. I showed several people who were doubters and said.. "see what this camera is capable of..." Keep up the good work.
 
Re: Film trailer, "Toxin"

Hello all!

OK...so I COMPLETELY forgot that in point of fact, we DID use the DVX-100 for SOME of the material in the film, only the footage that is in the trailer also just so happens to be the stuff that looks rather muddy in comparison because I *purposely* shot it to look amateur and cruddy (which still looked dynamite b/c 24P rocks my world) and then projected it through a TV screen and filmed THAT with the HD camera (after having zoomed in). If you haven't figured this out by now this footage is the material of the two grad students that are coughing up a storm.

If you guys are interested at all in the *NEW* TOXIN trailer...check it out here ;):
