Killer Sound

Okay, looks like we have a winner!!!

I have to leave for a few hours, but will return to reveal all.
But the correct answers have been received!
 
Okay here goes....

First of all, thanks to all who watched KILLER SOUND, and to all who entered/
participated in the little competition we had going.

Since we didn't want the ending of KILLER SOUND to be completely in a vacuum,
we thought it fun to include a few hints throughout the movie. Of course they
had to be somewhat hidden, and hopefully not easily identified the first time the
short is watched - we didn't want to give away the ending after all!

So, once the short was up for while we'd asked for anyone to watch KILLER
SOUND and answer the following: "There are THREE very distinct [visual] HINTS
in KILLER SOUND that leads up to the ENDING. Simply correctly identify the three
things, and PM them to me, and whoever gets it right first, wins the VIDLED
light..."

On round 1, we received a good number of entries, but not one was all correct.
In fact, within minutes Blaine answered two correctly. As it turned out, the middle
clue/hint was the MOST difficult one to spot though. Funny really, as it's probably
the one that's most prominently visible.

Anyway, most were guessing things we hadn't even considered; the wireless mic
that was visible on Jess as she runs away was a favorite WRONG one. Also some
were seeing things that I still can't see. Mics in cars, or above signs, etc. Many
were looking at this thing frame-by-frame. It was much fun...well, at least for us
here! :)

So we decided to let everyone have another go, after Wednesday noon (EST),
also mentioning that the wireless mic was NOT a clue/hint (just bad filmmaking!)



HERE ARE THE CORRECT HINTS/CLUES IN KILLER SOUND:

1) MIC IN SHOT

The microphone is dangling in the shot during the goodbye scene. This was
actually [poorly] overlayed afterwards, as I had forgotten to dangle it in the
frame when we shot that.

3) MAINE STATE ROUTE 66 (ME66) ROAD SIGN

Probably the easiest one to catch - I think everyone caught this one. Sign was
made with a printer and some poster software, then taped onto some cardboard.
Too afraid to get a fine from a Park Ranger (we shot on State Land), we chose a
side road for this.

and now for the one that [almost] everyone had a hard time with...

























2) TISSUE BOX IS SENNHEISER MIC BOX

This was quite tough, I admit, although I always thought the sheer size of this
thing would give it away. Apparently not.





So, who got these all right?

Well, we received TWO correct answers, one hour apart!!!

At 3:12 PM I received a PM from Sacksnack with ALL correct answers! Way to go!!

However, at 2:10 PM I had already received a PM from SilverWolf with all correct
answers.

Because they were so close together, and we had so much fun with this, we've
decided to make both of you winners, and we'll consider you BOTH first prize
winners (a used/demo VIDLED light with batterypack).

But again, just for the record, SilverWolf correctly answered this FIRST, and will
therefore have first choice of the demo/used lights we have available.

CONGRATS to SilverWolf and Sacksnack!!!! Please email me for more info on how
to get your VIDLED light.



Hope you all had some fun with this, and again, many thanks to all who watched,
and all who participated,

Marius/vidled

Okay, simple review:

You ass!

And I say that with a HUGE grin on my face. I totally saw that box on the dash and said: "Man, that's an awfully big box for tissues...What the hell?"

:):)
 
I am the second smartest man alive!

Hahaha!:grin:

I really liked the beginning shot of the sky reflected off the car hood. Hypnotic. I watched it with a friend who is very critical and he agreed. Also I thought the movie was funny. I almost bought that Mic.
 
what riddle were we trying to solve? i'm dumb, i never got this whole thing? what question do these clues answer?
 
Man, I saw that box and kept thinking (like Mark) that is a HUGE box of tissues!

When I got to the srutinizing stage of watching this film frame by frame, at times, I thought THIS MUST be connected! The mother points at it... it must be a clue!

Well, I guess I should have paid a little more attention to that box.

Damn!

Great contest. A lot of fun!

And I loved some of your shots!

PS - You may be seeing me on your VIDLED site. I really do need an on-camera light! PM me if you have anymore used/demo models for sale!

Hehe, aye! It's why I thought this one would be more easily identified.
Glad you had fun though. And thanks for participating!

Thanks Jeans for the comments.
I saw all the faults with the beginning shot; technical difficulties while shooting it that translated into final footage. I CAN make it a lot better now I know how. Of course, what would be the point now? :)
