Ight, I'll be brief...

Below is a trailer to a movie that i did for FUN! This "project" took me forever to make and I made it all by my self! Shoot, direct, plan, edit, lighting, sound, crafty, casting, locations etc... It became a love hate relationship making this short. I ran into alot of problems and ive learned alot of things not to do again! For the amount of hell and pain i had to go threw to make this... its good enough for what it is! So go easy on me!

Filmed with one basic DVX100A and no 35mm adapter used!

TURN IT UP!!! HAS LOTS OF BASS HITS!!!

UPDATE : FEB 10 / 2009

k, its been awhile.... filmed back in the summer of 2006 before the 35mm adapter craze. Thought it was time to do abit of updating and blowing the dust off this thing. I properly up-converted the footage from SD to HD 720p. Compression isnt that great, softness and seems to be frame rate issues. Ill be uploading a better version next week. Till then... enjoy.

jesus christ!!! when i read "fun" and "project" i was sure i was subjecting myself to another cringe-fest shot by a teenage mongoloid in his aunt's house. this looks truly incredible. would love to know the budget, how long it took to shoot, and the cam settings/adjustments in post. the contrast is gorgeous, DOF stunning in some shots. keep us posted.
 
Insane dude...Truly insane....Well done well done....Very suspense filled....Looked high budget....Love all of the fast pace shots...Especially the ones of the Mercedes and the SWAT team going into the drug house....Acting looked pretty solid as well...Give us the low down on all of your camera settings and everything David mentioned!! Great job dude....Kudos....:nads:
 
holy shiiiiiiiiip! that looks like something i can see in theatres! good job! What 35 mm adapter were u using? I saw some DOF shots.

I also like the story and acting jeez i dont see anything wrong with this. I can't believe you did all this by yourself. I'm kind of in the same boat but the quality of your work blows mine away. *jealousy* lol

Since I can see it can be done...I will aim for this and above for my next. ha!
 
Looked absolutely great! Did you use your M3? Would love to see production photos if you have any. What are your plans for showing the film?

And please share what went into your production- Such as lights used, lenses if you used an adapter, scene file settings, etc.

Again, really great job!
 
I'm sold on the trailer, now how do I go about seeing the movie in its entirety?
This is fantastic! Truly inspirational as well.
 
yea i'm down to see the whole thing as well.

do you think you can put up a higher res version?
 
Oh my God that was amazing. The best cinematography I've seen on this forum. Hook us up with your do's and don'ts... I would love to know so someday if I shoot a high budget film I will have some knowledge. That looked like 35mm to me lol, the quality, contrast, and colors were amazing!
 
Dammmmmmmn, this is what you do for "fun?" I can't imagine what you can do if you were serious! Beautiful trailer, interesting story, very professional overall. My only gripe is that the bass was insane!!! It distorted a little bit on some parts, but maybe that's just my speakers. The loud music also made it hard to hear some parts of the dialogue, especially when the main character [the undercover guy] is talking.

Can't wait to see the final product!
 
Very nice video, shot well, great sound. What settings did you use? Was the look acheived in post or in camera? And was there a DOF adapter used?
 
Very nice work. You completely kicked my expectations in the a** and then threw them down the stairs. Outstanding. Looks like you have a great film here.
 
Tank you for your comments. Ya dis was a ***** to do. I DIDNT use any 35mm adaptor. Cant afford one. Soon maybe. Filmed it in 24p as u can tell. EVyrthing was all the set to zero in da presets. Did the rest in post.

I should mention in post I did the temp layout for the sound. It started to became to much work for me so the post sound mixing / music composed was handed off to a very talented undiscovered Gregor PHillips. Soo add another name to the credits and dont forget my actors!

here are some grabs....

Click to expand...

so what did you use? just the camera without a lens? what were your camera settings, editing software, etc.? did you use magic bullet? if so, which settings?

please give us the details because it looks great.
