He did that on his own using the DVX and his own resources and has nothing to do with his status 'inside'!
 
I have no reason to doubt he did it, technically it is brilliant. If you can get enough actors together to stay commited and shoot in natural light I guess it can be done.

excuse my joke, it seemd appropriate given the herculean effort it must have been mixed with the doubters. Good for him.

That was sick!!!!! If he did it by himself, it is quite an accomplishment. I hope he did bc it gives hope for all of us who are no budget filmmakers. I did a little research on Ozan and I dug up his college application essay:

"I am an dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Cuban refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I was scouted by the Mets. I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I'm bored, I build large suspension bridges in my yard. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, after school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics worldwide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don't perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have been caller number nine and have won the weekend passes. Last summer I toured New Jersey with a traveling centrifugal-force demonstration. I bat .400 My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles.

Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week; when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four-course meals using only a Mouli and a toaster oven. I breed prize-winning clams. I have won bullfights in San Juan, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and spelling bees at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis. But I have not yet gone to college."

haha. ozan is george carlin
 
behind the camera :
-> one guy

in front of the camera :

-> wonderful locations
-> all kind of gears
-> cast (3 actors are identified at least on imdb)

Question :

When you have all those things in front of your dvx, why are you alone behind your camera and how do you master all this mess only in your spare time ?



Maths now :

wonderful locations
+ all kind of gears
+ good actors
= (lots of) pennies

Hello everyone,

If this thread and forum exists to be a source of valuable information for all of us, I don't understand why "Ozan" has not given us the real "meat and potatoes" of how shots, editing and sound were accomplished. Exactly.

I'm a newbie who lurked a long time before deciding to pull the trigger on purchasing my DVX100A.

Every single bit of information on nicely made clips are extremely valuable to me...and my fellow film (movie) makers. I have come to rely heavily on the free flow of advice and I'm bothered at his (Ozan's) cavalier attitude in his replies.

IMHO, all that was necessary perhaps, was to create a word doc containing as much as he could disclose about the project and just revert/point us to it. I would then put that in my personal DVX handbook and be able to become a great movie maker like him.

That, is afterall, why I'm (we're) here.

Thank you all for contributing throughout this forum.

I'm pretty sure he wants to keep it a secret, so nobody else can achieve the look he came up with the dvx100a and some post production.

Its a competition, he wins
 
amazing how this thread started with a high quality trailer & all i'm going to remember about it is some rather pathetic attempts to put it down. tis a shame

Thank you mate.You just wrote what I was thinking.Sometimes people are out to get others rather than respect each other's work one way or another.IT IS A SHAME.
 
This thread has ballooned in a matter of what.....5 days? I have friends who check their e-mails once a week and forums even less. Just because some of us come back and check every day (or it seems, hour) it doesn't mean that the thread creator does. And judging from his footage, it seems he has better things to do with his time rather than reveal every last thing about his life and work every time somebody makes a new post - which is quite frequently. It seems he's actually out there developing his skills with his camera, which perhaps some of us should do a bit more, no?

Quick question on the Embedded Flash Video.
Are those custom FLV Playback Buttons and Playback Bar you made or a plug in for Flash you found?

It looks like the default Clear skin that comes with Flash to me. :beer:
 
Imagine what people musta said to Robert Rodriguez the first time he told them that he made El Mariachi for $7000, 'just for practise'
 
lol i just read the whoooooole thing

if the question is whether or not THIS guy made it, we'll never know, but as to whether or not 1 guy could make this cheaply, of course he could. First of all, i think some people are confused thinking there is a movie. It's just a trailer. An impressive trailer, but still just 4 minutes of quick cuts. And about the look, the interior lighting isnt that great, and 90% of it is outside. It's all CC (again, good CC).

So for me what makes this trailer is good planning, good editing, some eye catching CC, and a really good sound designer. Maybe some good acting as well... maybe.

Anyway, if you made it, awesome job dude. That comeing from another guy who suprises people when they find out I did everything but the acting. ;)

I totally agree with you on this. Well said! clap, clap, clap, clap, clap! Every wasted minute on here could of been one useful minute out there.

Thanks, ProjX, I will experiment the different skins.
I have the Flash Render Process down, just need to work the minor details of the play buttons.

Strange, because what I remember from this thread is a great trailer that received lots of praise in the beginning. Then people started asking the creator difficult questions, and he, essentially, treated them like a bunch of assholes.

There are very posts in this thread that directly attack the trailer. The only one I've found in the thread says that something is fishy, and then asks the budget.

Most of the negative responses come from Ozan's almost childlike responses to peoples' questions, just repeating over and over again that "the budget was pennies"...and "yes, it really was pennies"...and "yes, I did this all by myself."

And what makes you think it's his responsibility to do so?

he doesn't have to answer to anyone, but i thought the point of this website was to provide a community for filmmakers to help each other out and share their knowledge, experiences, etc. i'm not saying he has to write a manual or anything, but answering some simple questions would be nice.

i think the lack of info about how this was done is what is annoying and causing doubts for some.
