Greetings fellow DVXusers!​

I am pleased to announce my first ever entry into a DVXfest.

MomentsPoster1.jpg


Synopsis:​

A depressed photography student boards the train home after another failed day of trying to capture the precious moments in life. It's then he meets someone who has the power to change his life but can he trust his newfound friend? Or will he be destined to continue his path of sorrow.

I am really looking forward to this project and will keep you all up to date as best I can. Currently, the script is complete and I am looking for my male lead.

Thanks everyone and i'll be back with an update real soon! :beer:

welcome to the fest!

your images seem a little stretched, or rather, shrunk... also, as the unofficial DVXuser spellcheck... "coming" is spelled "comming" on your poster.

all that aside! i look forward to seeing your film!! god knows youre probably much further along than i with your entry!

Thanks Kyle for bringing the spelling to my attention. As you might have just figured out spelling is not my strongest subject. As far as the stretched images which parts seem that way. I've heard that from another person but they look fine on my moniter. Interesting...
 
well, your banner (which is still mispelled) seems to look very very vertically squeezed. here, i'll take a stab at making it look proportional...

There, now that looks right, still a little squished though. Of course, I lost rez... but how does that look on your monitor? -- If the other stuff looks right on your moniter then you need to do some serious resizing of your V and H lengths.
 
Lol... the text still looks really squished. what are you using to edit your photos and what platform (mac, pc?)

the picture of the camera looks fine! it's just the text that is shrunk. i mean, it's mundane, but, still... ;)
 
conrad... please... my job may be STUPID... but it's unofficially MINE. :)

lol, just kidding. -- doesn't pointing out mispelled words make you feel like a jerk? it does for me... eh... oh well.
 
Justin,

Welcome to the fest! Don't sweat the glitches. In fact, consider it an honor to have Kyle be your proofreader. We had long and intensive negotiations with Kyle before finally getting him on our team (right now he holds the position of French Maid costume fitter and official beer taster for the effects department).

Your story synopsis sounds intriguing and I am very interested to see how you shoot this. Care to tell us if you've lined up a train to shoot on?
 
DVXUSER NEWS......

IN LIGHT OF THE TRANSGRESSION THAT HAS APPEARED ON THIS THREAD, LET IT BE NOTED THAT KYLE STEBBINS HAS BEEN OFFICIALLY REMOVED FROM THE WELCOMING COMMITTEE. HIS DUTIES AS PROOFREADER WILL REMAIN INTACT BUT GIVEN THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF THE TWO POSITIONS, WE FEEL THAT THIS MAY BE BETTER CARRIED OUT BY TWO INDIVIDUAL PEOPLE. :grin:

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Justin, welcome to the party! Congrats and good luck!

(and don't worry, Kyle is a pain in my a$$ :) (jk!!!)

Looking forward for more info as your project unfolds!

Ted

PS - Kyle is probably giving you so much sh*t because his last film was about a camera and he is probably feeling threatened with the potential turf-war!!!

HAHAHAHA!

What a jokester you are, Ted, golly jee whillickers. (that's what we nebraskans say)

I just wanted to make sure that Movie Troll's film was going to rock the planet! Sheesh... here I am trying to be a good guy and along comes Mr. Ted Arabian and Mr. Mark Johnson (a cute couple, I might add) trying to throw me out on the curb. Sure I'll test the beer, but if it sucks I'm going to tell you it's awesome. so... so... HA.

MovieTroll, you may have your thread back... ignore these two jokers, they are hardly filmmakers anyways...

-Kyle

ps. :grin:
 
::UPDATE::

Shot list is done. There are roughly 74 shots but I know that number will increase when production actually starts.

My actors are set. I just received a phone call tonight which let me know I have my male lead. My female lead has been set since for a while and she is also good to go.

As for the shots of the train. I'll be shooting guerrilla style onboard the lightrail in Los Angeles. I have thought this out a lot and I plan on doing this mid day during a non-rush hour time on a part of the line that is used the least. The crew is going to be just be myself and my two actors. With just the stock camera with a shotgun mounted to it and my college ID just in case we get stopped...gotta throw in that, "I'm a film student and this is for class" line.

Aiming to shoot this weekend hopeing to get 80% of my footage in. The rest I'm going to shoot at my house the following week.

I think that wraps it up for now. I'll update again in a day or so when I have wardrobe and the props I will be needing all set.

PS

You guys are funny and I'm proud to be part of this group! :)
 
Congrats Movie Troll!! I didn't catch your real name?

Great to hear about the guerilla style shooting! Best of luck, my man!
-Kyle
 
I've done guerilla shooting on a tram for our first movie ever last year. At the time however I was shooting b-roll and had a canon miniDV so I guess people thought I was a tourist or something. LOL.

I've always wanted to do some guerilla shooting on our underground metro stations during rush hours....that would be awesome...maybe if we do an action fest one day...
