Short film

Hey Bala,

Great job, I really enjoyed your film very much and hope to see more from you in the future. I sometimes forgot that I was watching an "amateur" film!

I bought an XL2 with a dream of making clever, intelligent, thought provoking little films as you have done.

Keep up the great work.

-Greg

My exact reason also, Greg. But I have never put into words so well as you.

=(

Bala,

No problemo - with your talent, you'll do fine with most any camera. Provided you have a decent script, good actors, talented cameraman and nice sound, you'll be a winner.

Have fun, Michael

P.S. Oh yeah, editing is important and so is lighting and... ah, nevermind <wink>

Hi guys,

I have made a new short film in HD, this time. I thought I would share it with you guys. Please let me know your feedback if you find time to watch it. :)

Damn, Bala! That was nice. The opening shot and the sea view looked like parts of a JMW Turner painting - or maybe Constable. I guess you did this in a studio. Did you use green-screen or were those backdrops?

It was hard to tell if there was any advantage in shooting HD, since there is so much compression on all these web sites, but it sure looked better than YouTube.

Hi Mr Jack!

Great to see your feedback. It was all shot inside a studio. the paintings were digitally done in corel and photoshop. we shot in front of a blue screen and composited it later on.

Thankyou so much! =)

Cheers,
Bala Prasanna
