Temptation - 3 Minute Short

Here's a short film myself and my classmate shot for our first assignment in Film Production. Basically, the prof wanted to see how we shoot and told us just to write a small scene that would fit into a feature-length film. We had to choose a feature film and emulate it's style. We chose the Mike Nichols' film, Closer. Unfortunately the male actor we had casted informed us the day of that he couldn't make it, so we had a stand-in that was younger than we would have liked for the role. You'll see what I mean once you watch it. I previously posted a clip from this film about a week or two ago you might recognize.

It was shot in 720 24pn. Used the F5 scene setting, and crushed the blacks a bit and did some slight colour correction in post. It's been downcoverted to 480 X 270 H.264. It's 3 minutes long. The file size is just over 100mb. You can download it here :

Let me know what you think. Cheers.

Good lord. Megaupload is giving me a 90 minutes download time. I'd recommend re-exporting your project with 'medium' quality, which should compress that 100mb file to a nice 15mb or so.
 
yea, i started downloading 30 mins ago and came back and its only halfway done. i had to cancel. good luck though dude.
 
Ok, I'm in the process right now of downconverting it and finding a new host. Will update soon.
 
really? because it says 'you must be logged in to download this file' when i click on your link. not sure if anybody else is getting that message?
 
cool. i saw it now. i remember you posted a small clip a while back.

coupla questions for you:

were you able to use just one p2 card for this?

did you use an external mic or just the built in mic?

overall this looked real cool and professional. i thought the girl was very natural. i see what you meant about the photographer, the guy's acting seemed flat toward the end. oh, you used good shots too.

- yes I only used one 4gb p2 Card...filmed 10 minutes worth of footage at a time and then dumped it onto a powerbook.

- We used an external mic on a boom...however it was the first time we ever used a boom mic, so we didn't get it to sound exactly as we would have liked. That, and the fact the room was very echoey, we didn't get "great" sound.

How do I get to see it? I get a login/register screen or the Megaupload screen on the first link.

directly across from the megaupload logo there is a message that says 'please enter' and then there are three letters/numbers. enter that into the text box next to it and click submit button and it will take you to a page where download will start in 30 seconds.
 
I got a good little laugh out of that short when the guy tells the girl to get into a particular pose. Seems like it should have maybe stayed in that arena. The girl was great in the short but that guy was killing me with him line delivery. Plus I would have believed it a little more if he was about 20 years older.

Keep at it man.
 
Nice shooting, but yeah like others have said, you need to work with real actors.

Also, I didn't quite get what happened at the end...I mean, I can guess that she's telling him to **** off. But it's not as clear as it can be from the pictures. And you breezed over that moment waaay too fast. If she's going to let him have it, you need to let us get some pleasure out of telling this creep to go fly.

Nice build up of discomfort when he starts asking her to take it off.
