The Accident

Very good. I was impressed with with the running shot. Any special equipment or just a steady hand?
Thanks,Elvis
 
Thanks so much PK :)

Elvis, no special equipment, I just set the shutter to 24 to get some additional blurring which is what I was after but other than that, it was just running handheld.
 
Disjecta,

Beautiful, as always.

Curious, what aspect ratio is that? Are you further cropping in your NLE? I assume so.
Also, did you do the time-lapse shot (which I loved) using the camera's time-lapse settings or did you just roll tape and juice up the tempo in post?
 
hi disjecta, the shots and color saturation are beautiful. but as my biggest fear with my project is that it will come out looking 'inconsistent', i was very 'inconsistent' sensitive while watching your short and to me 'the accident' is, though is it meant to be that way? funnily enough, the shots of your son are the most so, and they were done in 60 apparently? overall like i said the shots are lovely on their own, but if you were to make them more consistent and say do it over again, how would you achieve consistancy (?) ,,, does anyone agree with me here? or am i seeing things?
 
No, you are right. I put this whole thing together in a couple of hours. The sun was out then there were grey skies, etc. so it made the whole thing really inconsistent. It was meant as a parody to the artsy fartsy thing....nothing more, nothing less...
 
hi disjecta, well you're in seattle, and i'm in portland, so we have similar weather patterns,
i should have known from your awesome (and consistent) location pieces that you have
no problem keeping things looking consistent.

(duh)
 
cool! very nice man. great images! the only thing i didnt like was the title look/animation. it felt a little cheesy. if it were more subtle and not so in your face big, it might set the tone for the rest of it better (maybe it also doenst help that the titles seem to run just as long as the short). the first thing i thought of as the titles came up was a movie of the week or some late night cinemax movie...but the images that come after are so far from that. i played it again, skipping the titles and going straight to the first shot of the plane and it all felt much more effective. i guess what im saying is your titles dont do your short justice.

anyway, its great thoughman. good work!
 
I totally appreciate the input but it's a parody guys, the title was also done with that in mind... maybe I should take the parody out of it seeing as so many people liked it . :laugh:

Seriously though, thanks for the input.
 
it doesnt feel like a parody to me.

parody

par·o·dy
n. pl. par·o·dies

Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery; a travesty: The trial was a parody of justice.

nope...doesnt feel like one of those at all...give up the parody thing and run with it will ya! :beer:

its cool man! :thumbsup:
 
Steve,

As always, nice job. Man, I love your work, and with this one you have amazed me.
When are you planning in making another narrative movie?

All the best

Fidel.
 
Okay Rich, I removed the cheesy title to see how it felt and it definitely feels better....thanks for the input :)

File without cheese now online.
 
awesome, some of that stuff reminded me of the ring. I can only imagine what this would look like on the big screen.
