Hey guys, here's a short teaser for my first feature-length film as DP:

Pixelschatten is a John Hughes film for a new generation:

Pixel (Ben Gageik) is a 22-year-old small-town blogger: Everyone can read about him and his friends online. His blog "Pixelschatten" used to be the hippest thing in town, but now the local fame has faded away. His friends go to college, have new friends and interests, and his girlfriend Suse (Zora Klostermann) is irritated by the private issues revealed on the blog. When Pixel realizes that everyone but him is moving on, he changes all their lives with just one post...

"Pixelschatten" is a unique cinematic experience, a quirky-melancholic, yet warm and funny portrait of the "generation Internet", mixing the first-person point of you aesthetics of "Enter The Void" with the zeitgeist of "The Social Network". But this time it's not about the greedy entrepreneurs behind a moneymaking machine, it's about the people that spend their everyday life online. It's about you. And the spoilers for your life.

wow man, I can only imagine how many clips are in that cut. Damn. I got to be honest though, I didn't get to learn really anything about the film, or anything that makes me want to see it. I get that its a teaser and not a trailer, but I feel even a teaser should give some details to make you want to watch it. In other words it should be a tease. So even if you were to add some words intercut to give the viewer an idea as to what it's about. or some dialogue from the film to lay over the cut. it may be helpful. Just my opinion. keep up the good work. by the way, when is this going to release.
 
I like the plot. On the other hand the teaser like maranfilms said doesn't give you anything about the film. What you did here, that we have 10minutes of this or 10 seconds we get the same out of it. You need to give some of the film away just a lil bit. ;)
Good luck. =)
 
yes right, this teaser doesnt give anything about the story, but maybe the feeling and athmosphere.

there is maybe a trailer coming soon, but this film doesnt need it :(, its was just produced for german tv.
coming 8. may, 20:15 on ZDF Kultur and 16. may, 00:25 on ZDF

maybe there is gonna be a internetleak someday :)

thx for comments!

the pov scenes were shot on canon 7d with tokina 11-16mm lens on a selfmade rig:

the stopmotion ones with 50mm 1,8f lens.
 
Ah! Yeah, just saw this on Slash Film. Sick.

I liked the trailer for exactly what it was, and you did nail a tone, feeling, emotion with it.
 
Very cool. Will definitely be checking it out!

Is it going to be served on Vimeo?

That way I can watch it on a bigger screen!
 
Congrats, mantas! Looking forward to seeing this Monday. Praying my internet connection holds out. <grin>

Did you shoot in Berlin?
