EDIT: oke I put the short film ,finished on youtube.      --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2SXD8tTqU6E

tell me what sucked... and what was good

And I have finally send it with my other material to the academy,  I tried to post it but I was a day late, this was because the day before i had to make photos for the registration but the photographer couldnt get his lighting working and I had to rush of to work.
I eventually went to Amsterdam around 7 am delivered it personaly and headed back to my city for work around 10 am,  ... I arrived at 12.. . .



-----------------------------------------
Oke so I'm making a short movie, it will support my application at the Dutch film and television academy. ( I have texts, storyboards, sketches and paintings to support Aswell. )
And the plan was to make a short movie that would highly depend on images and music instead of cheezy text, and well this was very hard but things are starting to shape, and I'm hoping it will work out great since the academy only accepts like 15%.


moving on:

Title: Autumn Doubts

The story centers around a young guy who is ( as suggested) into illegal practices and has to meet a contact and retrieve a certain object, this being a classic metal suitcase.





so far I have 2 teasers ready, one more slow and heavenly, the other more urban and straight to the point it also resembles the completed work more.
and I'm hoping to have the final product soon, like 2-4 days, and for now I'd like some comments on the two teasers, and hopefully get you guys ready to comment on the finished product.


( I'd love the C&C , however by the time I'm finished I won't have any time to edit any suggestions you guys give, since the deadline is 18th feb )


here is teaser/trailer 1, heavenly and slow, the finished product will differ alot from this.

teaser/trailer 2, a bit more heavy and resembles the films style more

just the man I was hoping to post,

oke I edited some things on the trailer, I agreed with alot of what you said ( like the shadows, however I kept it in, since it was so calming )

and yea I used alot of contrast balance, and color mixers, but I most footage is doomed, since I used 3 different camera's from bad, worse to worst , and filmed at every different weather type possible, so balancing shots is almost impossible, but alot came out better.

gald you liked the second one more, since its exactly like the finished product, the classical music thing was more like a experiment

anyways , I redid it with some different shots

also new cover art

thx man, liking it more with the edits I did, combining would be a nice idea, im just gonna focus on getting the main film done first :P

sry for the double ( and maybe the necro) post,  but I edited the top with the finished film and the title

wel to be honest I was very limited, I couldn't use spoken dialoge because a dutch can't speak english for shit, and it will automatically come out cheezy,   very cheezy..
and having a very large story in a film that could only be 15 mins at max wouldn't work either, and the one thing I wanted to avoid was getting that bullshit hollywood vibe, thats why most is left suggestive.

so yea I traded audio for 1 short subbed conversation and a music track, and story for style and hard camera work.


the zoom, .. that was hard, but if you walk extremely slow, it seems your moving but not coming into the camera fast, so you wont loose focus point



btw hows it coming with your project
