Hi all,

Just thought I'd share a quick short I shot with the F65. It's a sort of pilot for something that I hope to make into a larger project...sort of more of an art project. It's a private link, but read the description below the video on the Vimeo page for more info / context.

Will have some BTS available soon, if folks are curious.

Having trouble nailing the color of the skintones on certain monitors I watch it on. Don't know if my laptop is just skewing red. But it looks fine on my calibrated monitor and on my phone =Z

-All the best, Rafael

Hi Rafael. Great little short! Hey, just for fun I dropped your screengrab into LutCalc to see if I could lasso some of those reds! I've attached links to the lutcalc file and also generated a lut for it. Feel free to use it, or toss it : )
I look forward to seeing the larger project! All the best man.
Cheers,
Paul

Hey Paul, thanks for the kind words, and for taking the time out to generate a LUT! I'll definitely give it a go. I'll keep you posted in the coming days.
Thanks again!
 
Really great work. First and foremost because the essential idea is very strong. An excellent idea with a lot of life in it. It's simplicity will enable it to potentially spread widely and go very deep.

FWIW some associations that came to mind...The way the Dardennes use negative space to create tension; a Bulgarian film from a few years ago that used similar methodology to create excruciating tension called 'The Lesson'...'Jauja' comes to mind as well...not sure why...

Particularly liked the use of negative space in the editing rhythm when he smokes the cigarette as juxtaposed with the subtly jarring edits by cutting more or less within the same angle instead of hiding the cuts by using a different angle. Not sure if it was intended or not, but the shift in editing rhythm was very effective. As though now there's one more tear in the fabric of the world.

On the chance you've not explored the Japanese aesthetic/cultural concept of ma, perhaps it might be useful. Here is a link:

Looking forward to seeing this project develop.

Thanks for the references! Will definitely have to look into them more! Thanks for the gems!

Yeah, lately I have been trying to use editing similarly to how I use framing, lighting and camera movement...for emotion...and of course, pacing. I wanted to create a harsh edit the broke the veneer. You're absolutely spot on.

Thanks is for taking the time to check it out! You clearly are very intelligent and I'm honored to have your response.
