Loop at DVinfo.net

Hi,

I'm pleased to show my 2nd short movie.
It is called "Loop", and was shot in Paris, FRANCE, during winter 2005.

The story is about Claire a Remi. They love each other, but are somehow frightened by "the test of time". So they are looking for a way to renew themselves. A way to become what they are not...

The video was shot with a JVC GY DV300 camcorder (similar to Sony PD-150). Sound was recorded with an AT897.
The budget is around 50 dollars.
35$ for a 2 weeks wheelchair renting.
the rest is DV tapes, and some biers after the shooting :p

We wrote, shot and edit it in 3 months, which was very short to manage to do what I had in mind in the first place.

I've encodes two versions of the video :

for PC users. Video size is big, but blacks tend to be a little bit grey. Please lower your screen brightness

And a QT version for Mac users and Winodws media Players fiends

http://gilz99.free.fr/Loop/Loop_HQ.mov

Video is smaller ( 360x288 ) but blacks look the way they should.

Dialogues are in french, but the video is subtitled in english.

Well, I think that's it !

;)

what a script? it describes one of the most important aspects of relationships. constant need for change while staying the same person. as if like a part of every men's life. I even feel enlightened. :)

and i dont need to say anything for the rest of the film. just perfect

thank you for sharing

Gilles,

I didn't get it until the second lap, then I thought it was a great concept and very well done. Thank you for sharing it, you should be proud! I'd love to watch again if you every expand it to be "what I had in mind in the first place". You're quite talented.

Gilles Guerraz · July 25th, 2005, 08:38 AM

Thank you Patrick for your comment.

It makes me happy that you've watched the video twice ;)

Gilles, I did watch it twice, but by the second lap I meant the actor's second lap around the building.

Gilles Guerraz · July 25th, 2005, 09:18 AM

oops, sorry for the misunderstanding ;-)

Actually, Vincent (who plays Remi) has such a different face with the hat and the glasses on his face that many people think the actor is not the same.

Steven Gotz · July 25th, 2005, 09:22 AM

It took me at least two laps to catch on - maybe more. The second and third times I watched it, it made more and more sense. Well layered and very interesting concept.
