"The Rooster" - by J. Van Auken

[Shawn Philip Nelson]

sadly, it is for exhibition only, so I'm not worried about being DQ'd (unless that means they won't let me show it.)

It's a film that deals somewhat with Vietnam, and one scene takes place there, yeah

Exhibition only? Why's that? Compete dude!

 

[Hans Moleman]

over ten minutes, man. it's a shame, but at least Telluride and Cannes don't have time limits

He had said earlier i before in the thread that his film goes over the time requirement of 6 min and that if he were to shorten it, it would take away from the story.

But I'm disappointed for him too! I thought you guys would definitely have a good chance when I first saw this thread. But never the less, I will for sure be watching your film!!

 

[Hans Moleman]

in the end, the biggest prize with be the feedback on it before I send the film off the to nationals.

 

[Hans Moleman]

I have my final cut, and it's been uploaded. Absolutely beautiful

Hands down the best poster. Amazing colors. Absolutely gorgeous.
Good job.

They came to snuff the Rooster, but you know he ain't gonna die...
Looking forward to this one.

 

[Hans Moleman]

Thank you very very much for the kind words

Also, as a reminder, I am set to release and host the high def version of Rooster on my website the second that timefest viewing begins

You might get DQ'd for that. I heard that you can only do that once voting is over. This way everybody is limited to the 50mb and traffic stays at DVXuser.

edit - no... you're exhibition only. Disregard this post, please. :thumbsup:

 

[Hans Moleman]

I've already messaged Larry about my exhibition status, and I've made no secret of it here, so I'm not worried. I just love the idea of showing off at HD resolution now that I finally have my own site.

 

[Hans Moleman]

Also, updated the front page poster to reflect the official poster, and made it a link to the website

 

[Hans Moleman]

Just curious, but would 300-400 mb be too big of a file for people to see the film in HD on my site? That's the best quality i can get out of H.234 at that size. I can downgrade somewhat and get to 76mb or so

 

[Postmaster]

I think 100 is the border. Less would be great.

The rooster is officially up on my site in HD, go have a look

Hi Hans
Nice short!

I'm curious as to why you didn't use any of the poster image in the actual movie? I was expecting to see a mini half battle scene.

The cinematography inside the clinic is nice though. Good job.

Your main actor did a good job. A lot to memorize there, solid delivery.

 

[Hans Moleman]

Mike was an incredible performer. We were really lucky to have him

Great short... shame it's non-comp.
