04 OCTOBER UPDATE 1.3: VFX SET-UP

By the way, don't expect any super, whiz-bang visual effects in my short . . . YET! This effect wasn't completed in time! Will be getting some better stuff to do the VFX with in a few weeks. Then I'll re-shoot the VFX stuff for later insertion into a new, more "polished" version of the short, after the contest is over.

woah. power lines and ladders. that's a spicy meatball! That ladder looks like its floating like the guy at the end of "Blair Witch" too...
 
I keep seeing your banner and thinking it says runaway even though there's a plane right next to it.

I think it's because of the lonesome-looking girl.

I'm wondering if there's some kind og double-meaning.

That's so funny! The original title was "RUNAWAY." I changed it once I started to think about airplanes instead of a street-kid type "runaway." That was harder to write, actually. I keep thinking "RUNAWAY" in my head, too, because she looks like she's going somewhere. Glad that title is "working" to that effect!

Now THERE'S an idea . . . do a, "Blair Witch," kind of a story, except do it all with ladders instead of actors!

I'm really digging your BTS footage Ralph and your insight of tips and tricks is really sparking my imagination for my next film. :)

That's quite possibly the highest compliment you could've paid me! Thank you. And back 'atchya! That's what I love about going to short film festivals, and becoming involved in DVXUSERfests. We all inspire each other to try to do the next "impossible" project. No one but us knows how much #&!@&*$!& work it is to make a film. The mutual support from this community is what keeps us all "believing."
 
wowa. and wowa. Check your PM.

Thanks Ralph for the inspiration and continue to believe. :)

good luck I think you'll do just fine.

Got a new DVD label printer . . .

05 OCTOBER UPDATE 1.0: DVD LABEL ARTWORK DRAFT

DVD-02-570.jpg


This is a draft layout for my DVD label. Thanks to a fellow user here that posted the lower price that Staples now has on the Epson Stylus Photo R340 ($129), which apparently is what everybody uses to print directly onto printable DVDs, I just picked one up today. Can't wait to hook it up and try it out!

I liked the look of this film and it was shot really well but the story felt disjointed. I felt like I was watching 3 different movies because of the cuts between the airplane, stabbing and jogging. The only thing that tied them in was the girl for me in this. I'm still not sure what I was supposed to focus on in the story. The cinematography was up there though, I could have watched another hour of footage from this even though I was lost in translation. All those screenies of your actress, you must really dig her.
 
Runway


Script
Ok, I really liked this. It all made sense to me at the end… and it kept me wondering what was going to happen… felt a little LOSTish if you know what I mean.

Acting
Your lead did fine, she didn’t have to do much acting, but what she had to do, she did well.

Cinematography
Wow! You have shot some of the best footage of this fest, great great great stuff! I cannot say enough about it!

Editing
Loves the editing, especially in the airport sequence with the B/W photos and stuff, nice work!

Score
Great music, fit the piece well.

Overall Impressions
Though obscure, the visuals alone make this film enjoyable for me to watch, it captivates and draws you in. Very good stuff!
 
Ralph,

Beautiful cinematography (I'm loving that steadicam stuff!) Everything has a strong, seductive vibe to it and it feels so filmic which is also because of the editing, perfect example is when she's packing and you have that cut to the street, bus pass and then MS on her walking towards cam. It almost feels like something out of Bourne Identity series or something, that whole first minute and half.

I also like how different sequences/parts of the story have a different cinematic style and feel. I didn't notice them the first time around because I was engrossed in the story but I could feel them with the second pass.

Great production value as well. (how did you get on that airplane!!)

Best shot in the film; the last shot with that runway...with the music (great music!), text overlays and all, it totally felt like something out of a Michael Mann film. I really dug this film and loved your camerawork.
