Hey, my name is Gino Moscati, I'm a sophomore film student at Towson University in Towson, MD. I just recently posted my final two Film 1 projects on YouTube. I just want to know what people think and try to get more exposure.
MAKE SURE YOU WATCH BOTH OF THEM IN HIGH QUALITY (the quality is actually at it's best when the video is on HQ and not in full screen.
The first one is a narrative short called "The Legend of Hop Scott."
My partner, Kyle Adams, and I racked our brains to figure out how to make a film about professional hopscotch that would be funny and entertaining. We came up with the idea ourselves, but we quickly began to think that we might not have been able to do it. However, Kyle's roommate is already somewhat of a YouTube celebrity and he agreed to play our films leading role. His name is Damian Sanders, he's the #14 most subscribed on all of YouTube with 330,000 subscribers and over 7 million channel views. It was definitely a no brainer that he should be in this. Anyway, without giving anything away, when it was all said and done we were more than happy with the final product, in fact, it surpassed our expectations in almost every way. The shoot went amazing, we filmed the flashback scene and the final hopscotch battle in one day (probably like 6 hours or so). The scenes where Damian is on the bench took two hours to film the next day.
The edit went well, we got it done very quickly and since we had heavily planned this project out for the edit, we only had shots we needed and they were all composed very well/technically sound. It took us a little longer to lay the songs and sound effects in, but without them this would barely be a movie at all.
My partner posted the video on YouTube a couple of weeks ago and Damian favorited it. Since then the video has been viewed over 48,000 times. It's quite a feeling when you bust your ass to make a project as good as you possibly can, than you actually get recognized for it, outside of class. This is the link from my own YouTube channel:
My final project is a short documentary called "Scratching the Surface:"
I don't want to give too much away about this so all I'm gonna say is it's about one of our friends who is an aspiring DJ. He had a show at our school where he invited 5 local rappers to freestyle to his DJing. So we filmed 3 and 1/2 DV tapes worth of b-roll and interviews, which, in the edit, we had to cut down to less than ten minutes of a final product. It took us probably 15 hours to edit the documentary. All in all, though there are several mistakes that many of you may pick up on, I feel that the subject matter is interesting enough to make the mistakes less noticable. Atleast I hope so lol.
