My DVX trailer

" 9. Got his actors through a normal casting session. (even though he didnt have money to pay them)."

That's not true - he said he already knew a lot of the actors and just called them into what was otherwise a normal casting session...he explained to them what he wanted to do and they thought it was a good idea so they signed on. Besides, there are actors EVERYWHERE. I see them walking through the streets like zombies at night. Poor lambs.
 
I cant believe I wasted my time reading all the replies and just didnt jump to my response.

Well edited trailer thats for sure. Did the right thing getting someone to tighten up the sound, it sounds great. Nice pick up on the island music Brandon. I think Kholi mentioned the dialogue in some parts already.

This DOF is acheivable with the DVX, room to zoom and solid lighting (I didnt say expensive) just well positioned and thought out. Couple of shots werent perfect, like the girl near the start, image was flat and not well composed. But for the most part it was tight.
The helicopter shot? I noticed there was no externals on the shot, could have been on the ground, the fly over seemed like a still.

Anyway great job. Got lucky on some good locations, always a bonus! :)
 
i really love it. I'm looking for some movie sounds like that's. can you tell me how to hook up with someone who do sound effects like that

Very well said.


And I can't believe some of the posts on this topic.

Shame on some of you here (you know who you are) who just cannot accept that this guy came up with such beautiful footage.

Jealousy.

They realize they don't have an ounce of the guy's talent and attack him when they should heap praises on him for the work he's done.

If anything, this, just like the amazing HVX footage from ILLEGAL, should inspire all of us to do better on our next projects.

I know I have been inspired.

And I couldn't care less how much it was made for. I liked what I saw and that's all that matters.

Nobody came into the thread looking to trash the guy for his work. Read the first few pages, and you'll see that everybody was gushing over the trailer at first. The naysaing came about when people started asking Ozan questions, and he responded by skipping around most of the questions. That's when people started doubted that it was actually his work.

I believe that he did film it. It looks professional, but not to the extent that I would say that it is impossible to shoot on the DVX. However, based on Ozan's unprofessional responses to peoples' questions I can easily understand why people started to turn against him.

You say "shame on them" for not believing in his work, when they all did believe it at first. It was only when Ozan started treating the people with questions like a bunch of assholes that they started to doubt that it was his work.

I agree. I come here for info AND to share info. 2 way street.:happy:
 
This thread itself has become a psycological thiller. What's coming next? Anyone filming all of this? Ozan seems to have gotten us all hooked. We're like little kids in a candy store. He's a genius. This is how you'd want everyone to talk about your movie.
He keeps you coming back for more, even with his silence. Now that's marketing.
 
Ahh, I finally saw it on YouTube... It looks a little like a commercial for severeal different products... It looks interesting...

The only products I can see is Mercedes and Methamphetamines. Maybe he some how convinced Mercedes Canada to sponsor him. Product placement!

Its a very interesting topic he has chosen for his film. He might have been influanced from Vancouver's own growing problem of meth-labs. Its usually on the news everyother day here in Vancouver. Found some interesting facts on wiki.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methamphetamine

Does anyone know how i can save the file onto my computer?

Totally amazing! I can relate to the love hate thing with your film. I've gone through it myself. I'm interested how you did the sound. Did your sound guy use royalty free loops or have something made special. I've done a couple of shorts without music.
Again my compliments! Inspirational! - Craig
 
Craig, I'll answer your question because The Ozan won't. Do not ever expect The Ozan to answer questions. How naive of you.

However, in the spirit of The Ozan, I will answer the way he would... Are you ready?

"I give my sound guy Gregry Fillips many different video . He say to me "What this?" So I then put on him lav mic and film in White House building for free. The key is to have small camera and be friends with president. Which I am. lol. btw, I hate 35mm adapter but own one."

So, there you have it. Absolutely none of your questions answered and a response that confuses you more now than before you read it. Welcome to this thread, aka Bizarro Land.
 
Pretty clear what we have here, a bunch of people who are jealous. Just because YOU dont have the talent or connections to make something like this happen doesnt mean Ozan doesnt. Funny, when people see something from someone in a similar position as them that is WAY better than what they can do, they excuse it to money, adapters, etc. Bottom line, the kid is more talented and more resourceful than you. Get over it.

There is nothing in this trailer that you cant pull off with drive, passion and exploiting resources, NOTHING. Most of us just wouldnt take the time or have the patience to spend a week chasing down a single shot.

Also, this guy has posted over at DVinfo before and shown very impressive car stuff. I remember it, same drill, summer fun project, dynamic car stuff, very well shot AND THAT WAS OVER THREE YEARS AGO!

So, to all you jealous hacks...I say...go make your b-rate zombie flicks and fade into oblivion and irrelevance... this kind of work should give you hope, not hate.

Good job on the production Ozan, you just need to find a writer and get access to some better talent (most were pretty good) and you will be well on your way.

The kid has talent and he's not wasting it. That trailer gives me a big giant woody. Not just cause it was well shot and edited, but because the DVX100 is the bomb. I'd act in any of Ozan's movies, D-list actors or not. :cheesy:
 
the only thing I DO know is that I intend to eventually make even better work. Just watching this trailer motivated me whether he spent a lot of money or not. I really don't mind if he doesn't share all his info, just showing me the trailer and saying its a dvx is good enough for me. Of course i wouldn't mind stealing some tips but eh, what do u really expect? I take what I can get. Thats just what I personally feel anyways.
 
That is a good point, why should he have to defend or explain how he got every shot? Location? Prop? etc.?

LOL nice quote, have to admit that confused the hell out of me. Hence why I said why did I bother... should have just commented.
 
i'm not saying he didn't do the trailer. he very well may have, i don't know the guy.

what i am saying is that he didn't do it as he describes in his post. for all you people saying you can reproduce these results then go ahead and prove it.

post your footage that compares.

BRAVO!!!!


and yes, seen WAY too many "b-rate zombie flick" trailers on this forum...
 
I see a bunch of haters in this thread. What a shame......

This is just about the best piece that I've seen on this site , besides mcgregors's stuff. I'd love to see any of you hating hacks pull a portion of this off.
