Looks sharp and professional. Nicely done. One thing you may want to watch is the audio from segment to segment. I had to turn it up to hear on the two shot and then turn it down on the little features at the beginning. It way help to turn the lows down on the body mics. Besides that looks good.

Trailer posted on the website www.americanjouster.com Haven't updated the site in a couple of months, and can't do it now that I'm on the road... but it's a good place to start.

Abstract Short (Like Whoa!)
 

This is an abstract short I did a few weeks ago, pretty boring if it's not your thing--luckily it's short. I am interested in converting this kind of stuff to the iPod movie format. Can anyone help me with this?

oh yeah...the link:

What are you editing on? That would be the first step to knowing how to help you.

Quicktime Pro does this automatically with any format it can play, regardless.

Final Cut and using compressor.

Deus Ex Machina
 

I slapped together a trailer for a short I helped my friend with. I hope to have the whole thing online soon. I hope you like moustaches.

I could see hairs in the gate!
From the moustache no doubt ;-)

Yes, hairs were flying everywhere. It's one of those things that happens when you use high powered fans in order to increase sexy. Actually, that's a crack in the lense. We had to use a school-loaned Bolex and their lenses. Yes, that's the camera you're used to seeing from WW2. The one you wind up yourself.

We like to think DEUS EX MACHINA picks up where our combat cameramen left off.

camera is moving way to fast hurts the eyes.

Also make sure you save it with no upper or lower fields chosen, choose none. Always choose none for movies that will be viewed on a PC monitor.

That is save one file to be viewed on tv with no fields chosen, for tv with upper field. Or I guess sometimes lower field.

I would slow the camera movement down though. And use a tripod to pan if you want smoother movement, or a steady cam type gagget if you need to move freely.

You can convert lots of video file types to ipod files in itunes. Just right-click(Windows) or control-click(Mac) and an option to convert should pop up among choices.

I noticed the even/odd field stuff after I compressed it for the internet, the uncompressed version is much clearer.

iTunes for iPod movies eh? Which version?

"Hunger Pains" promo used to raise $$$ Blood-Soaked Shotgun Madness!!
 

Not really DV related, but I shot and used this trailer to raise about 500k for the feature film.

Filmed on super35 and telecined to hdcam, which was ingested into final cut pro as DVCPRO HD 1080i codec.

I did the final coloring and such in Final Cut, not the best way to do it, but heck - it served its purpose.

Also, not really that blood soaked considering the content of the feature film... WAY more violent, but I wanted the promo piece to be appropriate for mixed audiences.

Anyway, its an artifact now but I thought somebody might be interested.

Been pounding around these boards going on 5 years... man how time flys!

so, were you able to raise the money?
