XLH1 'Dark' Andy Lunn experiment

Andy Lunn · May 29th, 2007, 08:56 AM

Well we have all seen the beautiful landscape shots from these cameras, so I thought I would try an experiment, Use the same footage but colour, grade, and alter the music to give two completley different looks and feel.

Here is my first piece I call 'Dark' I will post 'Light' when i get round to doing some editing :) Hope you like it, all feedback very appreicated, its how we all learn our craft.

cheers.

Hello,

I watched your film and I think you need a hug.

I like the look and composition of most of the video in the piece. There were a few places where I felt the editing was forced and a couple of shots that seemed unnecessarily shaky. Overall, I think you should work out a better story around the poetry for your next feature ("Light" I believe). You have many beautiful shots, but the video needs to go from somewhere to somewhere in order for the editing to gain greater meaning. You could, for example, introduce a character. It doesn't have to be a person (could be nature), but something for you to tell a story around and sequence shots to. You may also want to incorporate more natural sound to help the narrative along when transitioning between the lines of poetry. Just a couple of things I thought of when I watched the video.

Again, the pictures are nice and I always enjoy the idea of using poetry in a story (evil sounding or not). Good luck,

Thanks Cale all comments appreciated. I didnt actually shoot this for this perpous I had the footage and thought what could I do different to the usual, classical music and flowing transitions.

I may actually reshoot with a purpose and try it again.

Thanks again, all comments very appreciated.

Andy.

Andy,

Great concept. I think you can take it much further. I think it would be more powerful with female narration. Something like a "mother nature" figure gone haywire. If you are planning to re-shoot some scenes then maybe a few very blurred shots of the mother nature figure in medevil costume moving thru the scenes.

Regards,
