MOVIE TRAILER - BROKEN ($8000 Action Short - 100 Vfx Shots) DVX100a

Great Job! Now with all this hype, will you guys be working on further low budget projects using possibly the HVX200 this time.

Also would you be interested in being hired for other projects?

Thanks for hope :beer:

Thanks! We do not know what format we will be shooting the feature on yet. To early to tell. We are interest in looking and/or working on other projects if we can bring something to that project.

All the best!
 
I watched all the samples on the site (haven't watched the movie yet), and I'm really impressed!
One question - how did you achieve the lightning?

We rent a grip truck and used mostly Kino Flo lights. It's nice soft light that you can put anywhere and make the image look GREAT! Also used some 1k lights to spot light the background and ceiling pipes. Hope that helps and good luck with all your future projects!! :laugh:
 
Oh man Alex, that's GREAT man! Damn it I need to do what you guys are doing!

Hey Guys,

We just got back from the Toronto Film Festival and we met Roger Ebert. He did a review of BROKEN on his site (we are still trying to revive Jorge ; )

--------------

A festival like Toronto attracts hopeful filmmakers eager to pitch projects and find financing. Here, for example, are Alex Ferrari and Jorge Rodriguez, the director and producer of “Broken,” a 19-minute, $8,000 horror film containing, by their count, more than 100 visual effects.

“We’re here to talk about a development deal for a feature based on the short,” Rodriguez tells me, before the screening of “Twelve and Holding.” “Who you talking to?” I ask. “We’d better not say,” Ferrari says.

He gives me a DVD of their short: “We’ve already sold 1,000 copies online. It contains six commentary tracks and like three hours of information on how to shoot low-budget digital films and how to do the special effects. It’s like a training course.” They refer me to their web site, www.whatisbroken.com, and back at the hotel I view the film and visit the site.

The film is effective and professional and the ominous sound track works with the images to create the desired effect. Whether the plot quite rises above the level of “it was only a dream” I am not prepared to say. Whether the short will someday grow into a good film we will know only if the development deal goes through.

But that’s not really the point. The point is that gifted and ambitious young filmmakers can, with very little money, use the new digital technology to make a presentation that gets attention from industry pros. Kerry Conran’s “Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow” (2004) was floated the same way, with a home-made demo made on his Mac. Whether this is better than the old-fashioned method of submitting a screenplay is a good question; “Broken” is essentially a demonstration of the mastery of horror imagery and techniques. A screenplay has to also have dimensional characters (one, two or three dimensions, depending on its ambition) and a story. In an industry so impenetrable for newcomers, any way you break in is the right way. Then it depends on what you do. Looking forward to “Broken: The Feature.”

We are truly amazed! We were sooooooo excited that we had to share the news. Thanks again for all the support from everyone!! Good Luck with all your projects.

I just watched it last night .EXCELLENT!!!! The only concern I have if someone picks it up and it is released into Theaters , will they change the style of the Short . I like the way it is NOW. including the actors involved .

Thanks for the kind words!!! We will be keeping the same vibe and style but we will need to get name talent in order to get the $$$ we need to make the feature. The cast from the short will ALL have smaller roles in the feature.
 
The cost of the DVD would be a bargain even if it didn't have the actual short on there! I bought it mainly for the production lessons and BTS.
 
My daughter watched it the other night while I was at work . I asked her what she thought of it . the shits she said ...WHAT!!!! says I ..You didn't like it ? I did like it , I kepted fast forwording looking for the rest of the movie , then I realized it was a short story .That's why it was shitty . I then told her you were working on a feature version of it ...Good , then I can watch the whole movie . 15yr old daughters ,gotta love em.
Glad to hear the actors will still be involved with the film .
