The Message (Short Video w/ SGpro)

This is a short video me and four others made for a class in school. The guidelines followed some film festival's guidelines, except we had a few weeks to make it instead of one or two days.

Requirements:
A pocket watch
A hypnotist named Feildman Theldmann (or something)
The line, "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe"
Maybe one more thing that I can't remember

I volunteered to shoot it, and since I went home with SGpro footage while I was still new to the adapter, I would make little rough cuts of scenes (some have been posted on here by themselves just to share). I ended up doing the majority of editing (not the dark blue scene where the kid gets abducted).

The story line is a kid gets abducted by aliens while walking home from the bar one night (shot during the day because that is the best we could do), he is told some special message about how humans are going to destroy themselves soon or something. He is taken by the government and a hypnotist tries to find out what he was told by the aliens. He sees the message the kid sees and is scared, and somehow the message is played over TVs throughout the country so other people see the message. The End. I don't know, I rushed pretty bad editing and doing everything else, but some of it looks pretty cool.

Quicktime (150mb)

NIce work. Personally, the base storyline seemed a bit "cliche", but hey I still enjoyed it. Very nice twists towards the end.

Favorite Scenes:

-Alien Surgery Scene: Nice softness, out of focus worked well, no alien costumes required hehe.

-Park Girlfriend Scene: Loved the colors there.

-Beach Scene: I already went googoo gaga over it in your previous post :) Looks just like real film

Nicely done...my SGPRO comes tomorrow--can't wait!!!!!!
 
thanks mack. it was fun to shoot and it was nice to do compared to just walking around the city shooting cars and trees and stuff. you will like the sgpro very much.
