"Rough" - Canon DSLR

I enjoyed the lighting. The sound wasn't bad.
I think the way everything is suggested rather than clearly being explained wasn't enough worked, but that's just me! Overall it was a great little short.
 
thanks so much @drapeama ! i had a classmate of mine take the reigns of a zoom h4n just completely handheld with headphones, so the sound was heavily heavily limited. i agree with you that the lack of dialogue makes it hard for people to be completely sure of the storyline. this was actually an assignment for school and the criteria was to create a film that didn't have any dialogue. thanks again for checkin it out!
 
Fantastic job, Kenneth. As drapeama already pointed out, the lack of dialogue is the only problem. Obviously, you explained, there's a reason for that, but it's still a little distracting because we know that the only reason these people aren't talking (which they would be in a real life version of this situation) is that the filmmaker decided not to include dialogue.

Aside from that, it was a really well-shot, and well-crafted short film. The camera work was great. The music was generic and annoying at times, but that's a minor complaint. Keep up the good work, man.

(Just out of curiosity, what did you shoot this on?)
 
thanks for checkin it, I'm glad you enjoyed it! i agree, dialogue would have changed the whole dynamic of the film. I shot it on a t2i with "flat_v2" and "cinestyle" picture profiles. i used a ginirig and a tripod mostly 50mm 1.8. i thought a lot about the lighting conditions in which i would be shooting and was able to dodge many of the cameras weaknesses, but it was lucky that the day was overcast!

appreciate the comment!

The Flaat profiles are great. From what I've tested (myself) it wasn't for me. I prefer to use either the Technicolor (very flat) or the Marvel's Cine ones. But, depending what you need to shoot, every profile can come in handy for a specific situation.
Using a prime lens during the day usually requires the use of an ND filter (screw one or 4x4 with a MatteBox) if you don't want to use high shutter speed, which introduce the rolling shutter effect and makes the video looks "videoish". That being said, there's a sweet plugin in CS6 called Rolling Shutter Repair, which apparently do miracles with that kind of footage.
 
i did actually use a screw on nd filter! but due to the rush of shooting and whatnot i had varying shutter speeds, thats cool you noticed haha. I'm gonna give technicolor and marvel cine a shot! iv heard of them but haven't experimented yet. thanks dude!
