Short film Thursday

[Park Edwards]

These are some grabs from a short film I'm shooting titled "Thursday". 2 shoots done and 3 more to go. These are grabs take from Windows Media player and minor color correcting. I haven't even dumped the footage into Cineform yet. Just print screen from WMP and pasted into photoshop. All the pixel peepers, don't even waste your time typing. I'm not here to hear your feedback about the Gh1. This is mainly just to talk about production on the shoot and what not. First time lighting. Second time directing.
Check back every now and then as there will be more uploads with every shoot.

It seems promising. Any link to the video version?

 

[Martti Ekstrand]

Indeed, looks great and very promising.

thanks guys. negative on the video right now. i haven't even begun to done anything beside capture some grabs from media player. only thing i've done so far was skim over them. so far each night has been 9-10hr shoots. on top of 40hrs at work. i'm pretty exhausted to even render any video out. maybe once the final shoot is done i'll start posting little snippets.

last pic looks like the bridge of the enterprise ...just with the main lights off

 

[Park Edwards]

haha. yeah i guess it does. i really liked that shot too, but it was so rushed that i'll end up probably taking it out. we had 25mins left in the bar and about 2 more angles to shoot. came out way too dark, cause i didn't have enough time to set up the lights.

 

[Park Edwards]

updated photos. 2 more days of filming left.

Some good looking shots. I like the look of the bar scene in general, just one or two that appear too dark. Look forward to seeing some footage when you get a chance.

 

[Park Edwards]

yeah the bar scene was a bit of a problem due to only us having 20-25mins to setup 5 shots and run through about 2 minutes of dialog. but it's cool. i was trying to keep the exposure down and match it to something like this picture. i think i did pretty good considering.

Wow thats some nice cinematography especially for shooting so fast. Can't wait to see more!

 

[Park Edwards]

thanks. sat-sun are the last 2. i really want to get to the point where i'm either lighting or directing. not both.

 

[Park Edwards]

so almost done. i had to "let go" the girl in my cast due to some conflicts, so I'm reshooting two scenes. more images will be uploaded tonight from sat/sundays shoot. only 2 scenes left and i'll be finished. filmmaking is awesome, but man it can be exhausting if you work a 40hr a week job...!

just uploaded some new grabs from Sat/Sun's shoot. Just a little bit left and then to the dreadful post.
