The Accident

good stuffs. :) is that your plane? i fly RC and it made me cringe watching it hit the water like that. ... albeit it being a sea plane.
 
Neil, actually one of your films inspired this. One of my neighbors has a RC plane that he flies over the lake. I was out with the camera the other day and just took a couple of shots of it and I said to myself "Hey...."

A film was born with chewing gum and wire.

Chris, it's not interlaced, it's just the encoding for the Web version....I'm going to fix that today. Everything I shoot is 24PA (except the shot where my son hits the baseball in slow motion, that was shot at 60i, 120 shutter, deinterlaced and slowed to 40% on a 24p timeline).

Anyway, thanks for the comments. It seems a little silly to me so I'm surprised you guys actually like it. It is intended to be a parody of those artsy fartsy kind of student movies (don't mean to insult anyone on the board) :cheesy:

Hey, maybe if you watch it, you'll get a phone call that says you have a week to live :thumbsup:
 
the best of the best, you always surprise to me, all the days I enter to see if there is a new work, simply perfect, all the shots
 
very professional look and an almost mystery suspense tone to it - reminded me of Mystic River for some reason!

glad to see pro looking feel films out of the dvx again!
 
I loved it and I especially love seeing you do Narrative Work. Seriously, your imagery is super sharp and the colors are wonderful. Good job and kind of surreal and spooky.

Are you kidding? That was awesome! I mean, pack a story into a film less than two minutes in duration... that's something! And of course, with the beautiful cinematography we've come to expect from you.

I think I'll come to one of them workshops you and others were talking about. Keep it up, disjecta!
 
My buddy Jon did a "thesis" film at NYU where a man walks onto an otherwise empty stage occupied only by a table piled with various cuts of beef.

In the same shot, he grabs a handful and thrusts them over his head screaming the word "meat" repeatedly into the air until it fades to black. The professor was not impressed, but it makes a funny conversation piece when he shows it at parties. I suppose his professor didn't have a sense of humor left after seeing too many "serious" student films.

Anyway, I love your work - even when you're just screwing around.

Cool stuff steven, glad to see you start putting more people in your films! Beautiful CC, I'd love to see how to keep your blacks all the way through compression.
 
I just uploaded a replacement file, sans interlace artifacts...

Thanks for all the kind comments. I'm thinking of putting a bunch of films that are really short like this together. It's a good exercise and keeps me shooting and producing films in between nature stuff. Not to mention a lot of fun.
 
Beatiful pictures. Please, share this; how can I achieve a similar vignette effect using FCP? I have also seen others where is out of focus. This is my "$$$" million dollar question of the year.
I love you work and always inspiring me to get up and shoot, shoot, shoot,....
