So officially the band Grails (on Temporary Residence Limited/ Important Records), have agreed and given rights to a song of theirs to use in ITBOTM!!

The film has been cut, mostly color corrected, and is nearing the phase of sound editing.

Finally posted some screen grabs from the film. Feedback is warmly welcomed!

I was really hoping to achieve a sort of vintage "neo-noir" feel to the film. Influenced by "Le Cercle Rogue," "Elevator to the Gallows" and other earlier French/ German films.
 
Thanks Dick!

I REALLY liked that scene file! I CC'd it the way I did, to give it a more stylistic feel as well as even out the shots (continuity). I'm thinking I MAY go a little harsher...

So I've decided to go a bit harsher (more contrasty) with the cc, I'll post some screen grabs later. Dick let me know what you think.

Lesson of the week: Get an experienced sound designer/ mixer.

Nice short.

The lighting was very cool. Not necessarily motivated but cool.

Story was alright for me. Acting was believable.

A solid entry. Good work.
 
Rolling and reviewing...

Nice intro shot. Dramatically lit. But maybe if you had lights passing as cars passed. It was very dramatically lit. However, I think it did miss the "in a car" feel. Colors get a little...interesting around 1:20. Blacks are far from true black. Then cuts right back in at 2:00 to true black. I don't know what happened earlier. Maybe trying to boost the gamma to pull information out? Just one thing to keep in mind.

I do like the side conversations the guys have. And all the Toby lines are great. I liked the camera move at 3:40. But same thing with the blacks. Was that a two take or was that a very well done oner?

And I did like the concept. Why was everyone shot in the stomach? I liked the end though. Interesting concept for sure.

I liked the film. Like I said, my major thing was the blacks.
