Show Your Work 2006

Well John, you're right, its a pretty simple video and one starts to notice the same "scenes" after awhile, but you've explained why that is. Putting that aside, I think it looks great. The shots look really nice, and the rain shot looks great too. Solid cinematography, can't wait to see what you do with a bigger budget, more actors etc. Nice work!

I have a new link, 9.3MB instead of 46+MB.

Let me know what you think.

Gabriel Yeager · October 11th, 2006, 11:31 AM

Not bad. I like the forest area. That was cool. Was it just natural fog? Or did you do something to make that appearance?

What did you use for the CG making?

Sorry I missed it, when you first posted it!

Jesse Redman · October 12th, 2006, 06:46 PM

Gabriel,

The fog was natural.

The CG program was Ray Dream Studio. It's about 10 years old and no longer in production. It's not bad for an old program and it will definitely do in a lot of circumstances.

I would like to switch to a newer program but the learning curve is so steep.

The composite program was Vegas.

On commenting on another horror short, I realised that I got no comments on this forum about my 2 min horror above posted months back. I'm writing a 10 min ghost story at the moment to shoot in November. So I would like any advice I can get, to improve on what I have done previously. Thanks.

Pretty good. Nice effects, but it wasn't all that scary. The ending was awesome though! I know that it's very tough to pull something like that off in 2 minutes.

Well thought out and shot. The effects were done very well! I'll have to learn how to work on my effects.

The cloud transition back to the evil dude was cool.
I found it more comedy than horror though.

Thanks for your comments. Yes, difficult to make something scary in 2 minutes. A 5 min film could more manage building suspense and shock better. So instead I did try and inject some humour. I do find the headless woman walking backwards quite funny. I'm getting into practice. I'm aiming next year to make a short film which hopefully will be scary and not an unintentional comedy as is the danger if not careful.

The smoke effects was created in Lightwave 3D and the compositing was done in Fusion, including the shadow travelling up the staircase.

Varied HD clips taken around Fort Lauderdale, Florida... shot with a Panasonic HVX200 in 720p/24p. All of these clips were shot tethered to an iBook 1.2GHz with an internal 4200rpm HD.

I really want to see this but 1seed 15 hours to go ........

Andrae Palmer · October 14th, 2006, 02:34 PM

I'm on comcast Cable which limits my upload to around 46KBps. I would appreciate everyone to seed the file to a 1:1 ratio. Currently 3 peers are in the swarm. One at 60%, another at 35% and the last person to join at 11%. So download rates should be faster now. The guy at the bottom of the swarm is receiving chunks of it at 50Kbps average from everyone else in the swarm. The good news is that anyone that jumps in now gets it faster.

I am looking into setting up a more organized initial seeding method amongst my partners/friends... a seeding society for HD content.

"In the Loaming"

This ia a short that was made several years ago. I thought it came out ok considering it was a no budget production. I spent about $800 - not counting gear. It was a great experience.

I have published it for the first time publicly if you are interested. It is hosted on YouTube and embedded in my homepage:

www.CodemanStudios.com

I hope you like this spooky little story.

Don Bazley · October 15th, 2006, 07:04 PM

Is there a way to access the file without getting a FileFactory account?

I'd like to see how that cam does at a wedding.

Thanks.
