So brightly in the dark - Lawrie Brew :P

Right im back! Behold the camera we will be shooting on http://brain.pan.e-merchant.com/3/8/04798783/l_04798783.jpg - something older than that!

I decided after mulling it for a bit that it would be more fun to shoot with an older and far more mobile digital cam! So this will give a unique look and should feel right for the type of film incarnation we'll see! I'm fed up of folks being so neurotic (including me!) for technical quality over other storytelling or fun elements (so the hpx500 is in the cupboard for this one)

Simon - the film was held up by real life (me and Sarah had just organised this http://exposureroom.com/bb6c3ce03dbf4b1d84af9ddd44d83cb1/ however, with little time to go I still intend to get a film into the competition! AND SHALL muhahaha, an it should be reasonably British and pretentious! Don't worry about subtitles Charli - i'll just help to teach you how to speak proper English first... (actually I speak Scots really, so what am i talking about.)

Expect probably to be a littler perturbed Lawsuit Boy - im looking at something a little creepy/experimental here muhahaha! Darkline - what i intend to muhahaha! Possibly in a live stream show that is recorded so folks can watch if they miss it first!

Why yes Mike muhahahaha!

Ok, I can't deny that thats a good excuse. Very well done sir! Watched the whole video, very inspiring work. Looks like the people enjoyed it alot.
 
Cheers Simon - yep for this short - because I've barely got time to get one in - I'm wanting to explore a low tech approach - which is actually quite liberating in exploring some novel ideas. It'll be shot around where I live (a kind of medieval harbour) and just looking for resources all about the place. Something grainy/ real looking even reality ish perhaps. Still playing with some ideas but gonna get it and a poster done ASAP!
 
Good luck with your film. Sounds like it will be visually interesting as well as creepy and psychological.
 
Okay so the rest of my movie was shot around the house with the hpx500 - i copped out of my palmcorder idea (mainly due to time as im actually announcing a pretty cool project which has sucked up time like nothing else!) However i still found a great freedom from just producing a film inside your own house and have certainly found that liberating from the (must have a million costumes and guns mentality) i sometimes have for film produciton lol.

Here are some stills! I've still got some extra bits and bops to shoot - (most secondary stuff)

Oh lol! What a daftie haha i uploaded it to www.dvxfest.com/upload (U thought it was just that system we were using again) Now it sounds like a stupid presumption I made haha! The normal upload info hadn't been posted so i just presumed it was this (as we're quite near the deadline?)
 
Well, they said they would post upload details on the tenth. I know, still nothing.

I think I'll wait until they post it just in case things have changed since last fest. Format -wise.
I have a 60mb H.264 ready just in case.

MAH
 
Cool poster, reminds me of a short film i saw years ago called "the cat with hands" or something like that.

Good luck!
