The attached photo's show what we did with the colors.

Those photos kind of have a Sin City look to them. Cools

Nice work Djee... I like seeing stuff like this, low light very "cinematic" look shot on video.. shows where you can take video if you work at it. It wish I could see a better version of it, the online movie was a little dark, but I think that is a combination of compression and my monitor. I too, thought the almost B&W look was really cool. Good luck in the competition.

thanks for giving time dropping your imput!

Djee Smit · September 22nd, 2006, 01:45 AM

Thanks :-) and as the title and 'plot' of this film allready indicates, we are going to make a longer version, in the same visual style, and then even put a story in it, see how that works. ;-). We also want to use a 35 mm adapter in that version.

I will try to upload a better version on my website.

My 4 YO son insisted I needed cars to make a proper product shot.

I thought I was missing the pretty girls...

Shot a simple demo intro for my show and would like to get some input. It's a golf show and tried to have a bit of a movie feel to it at the start. Any feedback would be great.

Thanks,

It's great, but I'd shorten it up a bit to about 30 seconds. IMO there's a bunch of dead space in the beginning half. Also I'd change the font used for all the words describing the show at the bottom. Otherwise, it looks awesome to me!

Matthew Lombardo · September 23rd, 2006, 11:53 PM

Thanks for the info. Any special font that you might suggest? I was trying to have it start sort of like a movie and let it build. I was just trying to start the show a bit different than the average golf show you might see.

Adam Bray · September 24th, 2006, 04:35 AM

Looked good to me. But like was mentioned, it seemed to have some dead air. I'd ditch the quote probabaly. I understand the desire to have a cool movie into, but you have to undertstand it's a TV show. Not a movie.

I would at least shorten that black video after the quote. It seems to go on forever.

Roger Rosales · September 24th, 2006, 03:59 PM

I couldn't see the video you posted, for some reason I can't get the "proper" codec from apples site.

I did however check out some of your other work. It's pretty cool. I like the MySpace commercials.

I also want to know, how the hell did you get the shot inside the 350z?!

The 350z has a hatch. I pretty much let my friend film while in the trunk with the hatch open. :D (Everyone asks that, I guess people consider it very uncomfortable :D)

Roger Rosales · September 24th, 2006, 04:12 PM

Ahh, ok. That makes sense. It's a very tiny car so one can only wonder. Haha, pretty cool.

I'm watching the Short Version of Reno and it's pretty funny man. Keep up the good work.

Roger Rosales · September 24th, 2006, 04:24 PM

I wouldn't ditch the quote. I think it looks cool. Just because it's T.V. doesn't mean you can't experiment with a more "movie" look. I mean, look at a lot of the TV shows out today like 24 and Prison break. They have a very cinematic look and feel to them.

I say keep the movie-like look, but definately ditch the long black portion of the video. It just goes on for far too long. I thought something was wrong and I was about to close the window because I had thought something got screwed up, like the encode or something.
