mini35 stills from my new film
 

Dear one and all,

I just thought I'd share some stills of my new film, Last Day of Work with you. Presently, it in the rough cut stage so I'm not posting the film. It tells the story of man who is having problems dealing with the loss of his wife. It currently runs at 8mins but I'm hoping to trim it down a little bit.

Production notes:

1 month of pre-production- finding actors, locations, refining script, hunting for props, begging for equipment etc.

shot in 1 day

Looks great. Totally has that film DOF going for it. Is it a thriller of some sort? Shot #6 scared the **** outta me. Guess I'm just afraid of basements, heh.

Looks very intriguing, Adrian! Has a very dark, sullen feeling. Within the context of the deep personal loss subject this should be good. I'm anxious to see your final cut.

I gather you had fun with the Mini 35! That stair shot was really rubbing it in. <g>

heheh... yah I guess, because I had the mini 35 for one full day only, picked it up the evening before and returned it the morning after, so I guess I went a bit crazy with the DOF thing... and shot everything wide open. But as it turned out, I didn't have enough lights, 2 cheapo 300W halogens (that started smoking after 5 mins) so I had to shoot everything wide open anyway.

Now my XL1S looks so lonely with just the stock 16X lens...

anyways.... I'll endeavour to finish the film as soon as possible and will post a link up as soon as its done!

Cheers everyone!

looks great Adrian, I really love the tone you've got going on in this one. Can't wait to see it!

The more I see from the mini35 the more amazed I am. I'm gonna
try renting one near the summer overhere. Those are beautiful
shots, keep up the great work!

Adrian, I'm having trouble getting a look at your stills everyone's raving about. What am I doing wrong, when I click on the link I get the apple homepage telling me there's no homepage by that name. No idea.

nevermind, I just noticed the date of your posts.
