Hey there! Thought I'd finally start a thread for my film now that I'm sure I'll get it done in time for the deadline. I shot this in March (with a reshoot in April), but haven't had a lot of time to focus on editing and post until recently, so I wasn't sure if I'd make it. Rough cut is done, titles are in the works, and I have a good idea of how the CC is going to go, so that shouldn't take long. But, here's the poster. BTS to follow.

Looking forward to seeing everyone's work!

For those of you who enjoy this sort of thing, here's a couple of BTS shots that show my little set up.

1. DVX100a with Letus35a adapter. That's a Canon FD 50mm 1.4 on there I believe.
2. JVC field monitor - upside down 'cause the 35a isn't a flip. Yeah, that's a high chair, too.
3. Lowell Omni 500w lights (another is off to the side behind me as I took the picture). Rented for a ridiculously low price from work.
4. My lovely actress.
5. Not my truck. Just wanted to get that straight.

Setting up for a shot looking out the window. I had to bump up the inside light so that I could see what was going on inside and out without too much of an exposure discrepancy. (Picture taken by my actress while she was entertaining herself with my still camera as I set up.)

Cheyenne's explanation of how you operate a camera. Still taken from actual footage.

Thanks everyone!

Mark - Yeah, I made "Girl vs. Boy" for SpyFest. At the time, I vowed I'd make my next film with a "grown up," but well . . . Best laid plans and all.

Shawn - I missed the Portland DVXuser meetup. Mostly I'm at the NW Film Center (work) and don't get out to much else beyond what we do there 'cause of the family. I'm sure we'll cross paths one of these days, though. :)
 
Thanks guys! It's cool to be remembered (aw, shucks).

Ted - Sorry to hear that your film was canceled. I look forward to seeing you in a future fest! :)
 
Wow, looks like there are a lot of talented film makers in Portland, makes me want to move up there (I love the country side up there too). Good luck on your entry.
 
Thanks Jeremy. Portland is a great place for filmmakers - MovieMaker magazine even says so (we've ranked in their Top Ten Places for Indie Filmmakers for the last several years). Anytime you want to migrate, we'd be glad to have ya!
 
Uploaded with 13 hours to spare! w00t! Last time around I think I literally got in at the last second.

Now, when do we get to start watching the flicks?
