teaser from our short, Justice AF100 CineD

not bad,

some really great harmonious and mood-appropriate color wowsas looks glorious

a few wonky wierd composition things going on:

010: great foreground framing but blocking the subject for so long feels wierd, esp as an intro to him- also that odd sculpture adds a quirkiness that isnt story appropriate really--- nothing else that quirky in the whole visual story you got going on

013: figure is walking INTO the form (concrete pole) below....it smashes UP into his face. does this matter? hmm...yes to folks that are visually trained/sensitive like me or anyone youd likely want to impress.... looks odd, seems to project some meaning that isnt there.

039: i wouldve framed out that fiddly bit of the ear- but hey

thi s is kind of subjective, but I think way too many eye level shots-- you shot a noirish story and didnt take the opportunity to do more wierd low angles? I guess I can see you wanted something understated, but...

clearly some high level cinematography as far as color and light, but the composition is short of great

hope I didnt rustle feathers but youre clearly playing on a big boys playing field with your work so.. there it is

Thanks for taking the time time to comment. I appreciate it. It's very helpful. The sculpture was a director's choice. It is odd. The world and the rest of it are ambiguously kind of post industrial degraded. I thought the locations were pretty great.
 
Great stuff, Scully!

I want to know how the locations play into the psychology of it all...

Where is the film in the post process- near completion?
 
It's just more evidence that the Af100 is one great little camera. I did sell mine last week and I already miss it. But it's on it's way to a new user that will give it the love and enjoy it.

Thanks. We're about to lock picture, working on a grade. The director likes it less saturated, higher contrast than I did here... almost like a bleach bypass, so we're messing with that. We'll see.

The locations were an inspiration. The story is from Aristotle's Poetics, a dialectic on Justice. The world being somehow a present that never grew past industrial, with all the decay, is part of the emotional life of it. I just love all the depth! I had been shooting in cafe's and NYC apartments!
 
Can you work The Decline of Western Civ into it? :happy:

Love your grade, though I'd be curious to see the director's just as a comparison.

Good luck!!!
