That looks great Mack, I really like the quick cut of where he's wincing, fits in really well with the pacing and the music. I kind of wish you would have held that last shot longer, it was a great looking shot. But, on the other hand, it made me watch it again.

Your stock footage reel looks great too! Are you in Seattle? I live in Portland.

Mack Fisher · October 26th, 2006, 06:15 PM

Thanks for the kind words. Yes I am in Seattle.

The visual images in "Choke" are quite good. The lighting and color balances have a definite dramatic, professional look. If I were to critique, I would say that rack focus may have been overused a bit. Nobody would really notice it, but I always feel effects should be conservative. This is simply my personal taste. I'll get back to you later on the other video. It's bedtime in the Pacific.

Ivan, Privet, I am in Moscow now re-editing a clip shot on $40k budget, on 35 mm, viewing yours, can give you my comments:
beginning-good, nice lighting, good style, lead rapper has very interesting presence and cinematic face...till you get to closeup of the girl's face, when out of focus, she's good, when it's perfectly in focus, she is not confident enough, 0;13, the dude has pimples on his face, (sorry dude) what is the purpose of emphasizing that?
Very good (all in style) till 0;37, the girl seem to be uncomfortable in that shot...
0;45 another setup, lots of problems with lens glare, cheap WA adapter? Don't like dude in white scarf, overacting, he is not in the tone of lead rapper... 0:53 dude on the left, seem uncomfortable, (not his fault, bad directing)... tiger, love it, slow down on that... cut away dude with his tongue licking, looks like home porno...
1;11 girls shaking butts, not enough lighting, shows cellulite, cut it... good till 1.48, don't see lots of problems, that are present in first part...cut all butt grabbing stuff, it's bad lit, bad acting..looks like home video.. OK problems with glare) till 2;05, take this girl out..Playboy thing in the mouth, don't like it 2;15 and elsewhere, don't want to see butt with pimples, I'd slow down all the stuff with the tiger, from production value, it's probably best thing... Over all, good style, good editing, considering probably low budget...if you work a little on that piece it can be really good, I like the song by the way, ...
Regards, and best, Oleg.

Joe Winchester · October 27th, 2006, 11:36 PM

Great looking stuff, man!

Keep us informed on the release date, I'm looking forward to it!

Oleg Kalyan · October 28th, 2006, 01:46 AM

Reeally liked the befinning.. could have been a beginning for the movie, till you get to the knife, different mono coloration was not clear, till you got to greener stuff, was eye pleasing again... essence of fear is a great subject matter to discover...

Ivan Egorov · October 28th, 2006, 04:42 AM

whoa, ogo-go! gotta work with that!
but to me, 1-night edits aint no good, Im hoping to work on it later

What are you up to, Oleg?

Oleg Kalyan · October 28th, 2006, 08:19 AM

Ivan, I am tied up with few projects, as I wrote before, re editing music video, for upcoming female singer, Sony is backing her up... Also have to fihish up couple of high budget weddings that I shot in Moscow.

Holly wakes without a memory in an unfamiliar place. Confronted with figures who obviously know more about the situation than she does, she tries to make sense of the world around her. A place where all is not as it seems, and is slowly falling apart. Can Holly save herself and those trying to help her before it's too late and they slip between the cracks of the in-between?

This is a first year student movie, created by a crew with no prior experience. I edited it.

Shot with an DVX100. Edited with Premiere Pro 2.0

I Wish You Could Smile performed by Stoa and written by Black Tape For A Blue Girl. Rest of the music by me.

Enjoy

Comments? Thoughts?

Ben Winter · October 28th, 2006, 11:31 AM

Hey Jesse,
The animation is a bit juvenile, but the idea is cool. I think if you added some bezier curves to the camera path instead of straight hard changes, and maybe dressed up the house to look like a real house, it would be really neat.
