Hi all,
At the end of 2010 my friends,family and I completed a short film "Lives after Death" .
(we like to prounce it "L-eye-vs" instead of "lives" as in "that zombie lives after death")
Originally the reasons for making it was a) to have something to do to kill insanity and boredom while I worked on a feature script (not based on this short film in any way).
b ) To practice my cinematography (to see if I still wanted to wear that hat, since I also write/direct/edit and sometimes act).
and c) my actor friends loved the concept and told me it'd be a good film and should make it.
We went in with no budget and just paid for things as they came up, final budget was about $1200 dollars.
Anyway,
all shot with HVX200a , stock lens / no adapter, and all scenes not in the "afterlife" were all natural light with the help of a white bedsheet for bounce.
I'm not one to post my work since I usually hate it, ha. ...but we had a viewing of this film to a bunch of post production guys and asipiring filmmakers from Delux Lab's post production Toronto and lived through their judgement...so, I figure it's time to post online starting with the place that taught me everything (pretty much. ...didn't go to school, just lurked here for years),
Any questions or comments, please let me know,

Yes it's pretty long, but it was done for ourselves / my own practice, never tried to fit into any short film "rules".
If for some reason it won't load, click "watch from vimeo" at the top of the site. But it's split into 3 parts on vimeo due to length (couldn't compress it to under 500MB without it looking like it was a VHS transfer).
Thanks!
...And sorry that this post is almost as long as the film.
