My DVX trailer

Blue Reed is right. And while watching the traielr over and over, I still don't see anything that doesn't fly with Ozan's posts.

Actors? - http://www.shamelesshussy.com/

He obviously has connections with people. And if you do everything based on favors with people who are willing to help your project, he could have done it all for FREE. screw pennies.

He said he passed off his sound design to someone with talent who is as of yet, unnoticed.

The birds eye shot could have been shot from a hot air balloon, or anything else to get him in the sky.

It's obvious that he works in, and has ties in production/film. The link I posted and the Adidas Adicolor link that he was B cam on, provided by HVX2006 show that. So he has to have picked up skills along the way.

He very easily could have borrowed props, wardrobe and lighting.

And as far as him not coming on again to prove his innocence? maybe all the accusations pissed him off.

Everybody should be excited that his trailer shows what can be done with the DVX in the right hands, and that it should be taken seriously as a valid filmmaking tool.
 
Sorry for not replying so soon. Ive been wokring as I need to pay for bills and beable to live. Once again i'll repeat myself again... i DIDNT use any 35mm adaptor!

Yes, i do own a 1.6x but rarely used it in this "FUN" project. Infact alot of those scenes never made it into this trailer and was left on the cuttgin room floor. I didnt have time to setup and use the teley lens. Its also way to nose heavy for my hands and with my crappy tripod i have... it keeps tipping forward! PLus i did alot of running around and was worry that it will fall off!

ON my next shoot i'll plan to use and play around with it to see wat kinda results i can get with it.

here are some other frame grabs from METH

Mr. Biron,
Awesome work!

Can you briefly discuss the end credits of your trailer? It seems like you took them from "A Scanner Darkly." Why is that? Thanks!

I added those in to make it the trailer complete. I needed some kinda of text to add at the end. If i added my own credits it will look lame with jst my name at the bottom sitting by its self. Im going to leave it in there for now.

I'm actually leaning back towards 'possible' after intially being an unbeliever. But the babytalk language used in the first post continues to throw me back to the 'fakeside' v
every time I lread it..
After analyzing all the shots again the only non-dvx bokeh I can see is in the newcast footage, maybe that's just a trick of the eye or something.
Anyway, good job, Ozan, but indeed, what inspired you to tell this particular story? Please tell.
 
good job.looks very proffesional.its not hard to believe this was done on your own,i didn't see any difficult shots like crane shots or alot of dolly monements.but i do belive you could have gotten a little help with some of the shots from the talent.i did my first film on my own but did utilize the talent when realy needed.
 
dude. Tomyboy... Why are you spamming your movie all over? I've seen you most multiple topics about it.
 
hmmm im not sure what to think, people are saying different things. Unless i missed something you still didn't say what the budget was. Just getting in a helicopter costs several hundred dollars. Locations cost a pretty penny unless you conveniently had the places you wanted. I dunno maybe it was the way you worded your original post...Almost bragging that you made sure we knew you did it by yourself...what does that say?
 
This guy is a sham. He writes like a nine year old and doesn't answer any tough questions. As fifteen thousand people have already said, he still hasn't given us the budget. The helicopter shot. Mercedes. Expensive locations. Swat team stuff (I know everybody has said how they THINK he got them cheap. But HE hasn't told us how he got them cheap). Anyway, I give up.
 
Nice work. My take on if he did it by himself or not is that he could have done it by himself. The helicopter shot could be licensed stock footage.The Mercedes shot though,he would have to have someone drive the car while he shoot. Now all of the other shots could have been setup and taken by one person.Some The DOF shots can be taken with the DVX,but the camera has to be real close (I tried it before) in which they are in this trailer. There are no real DOF shots in this trailer where a subject is more than 5 feet away. And he said used LAVS for the dialogue. With the exception of the Mercedes shot, I can see where a person can shoot this trailer by himself.

James Cameron shot one scene in The Terminator by himself with no crew. It was just him, Arnold and the PANAVISION. (lol)

Doesn't the camera have to be further away to achieve DOF with the DVX100, because it has to be zoomed in all the way? To me the first shot of the trailer looks like it is using DOF (not just that the background has been blurred out because of the motion), and I don't know if it's physically possible to be that close to the subject (cameraman would have to be inside the car), and still achieve the DOF I'm seeing in the shot.
 
Well, i think its possible. A few of my friends and i pulled LOTS of friends together and we shot countdown, which is linked in my sig. And this was the first large scale production that any of us had worked on - it was virtually a first film for us...and for 16-17 year old students, i think we did ok. Its all about who you know - friend's father manages that warehouse and let us in for free, got parent's cars for free, props from previous movies, etc.
