I found the initial hospital follow shot to be eery.

If you hadn't given the 'jist' of the story, I would have been confused over what was happening but maybe that was just me.

Thank you Ken

I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and remark on it. It was a personal piece for me as well and I confess a bit on the surreal side. In post it became much more 'spooky' (for lack of better word) as I cut it together

Thanks again !

Ok. I got this box in the mail. It had a hard drive in it with video. I was asked to try and make something of it using only what was on the drive. Its a mix of mostly video with some photos thrown in and shaken around to make it look more like video.

Here is the result...

I wish I had a better cut of the song. It is used with permission by the way. I don't like ending during vocals.

Comments welcome!

I thought it was pretty funny, I sure didn't expect that.

Hey Everyone,

I created a new short film "Cyn" for Steven Speilberg’s “On the Lot” and I had to do it from script to finished product in 6 days.
Done for well under $1000, Cyn brings together an amazing group of talented people. Without these remarkably talented friends and professionals,
Cyn would have never made it's 6 day schedule.

Check out the trailer: http://www.alittlecyn.com/trailer.html

Cyn is a trimmed down version of a longer script I created for my upcoming feature film project called “Red Princess Blues.”
As I developed the "Princess" short film I noticed that it had less and less in common with my characters and storyline from the feature project.

Friday: Write the script and prep the shoot

Saturday: Casting and prep the shoot; also begin working on opening titles & prep visual effects

Sunday: Rehearse, Fight Choreography and Production Design the location

Monday: Shoot day

Tuesday: Editing and color correction; begin scoring process, sound design & visual effects

Wednesday: finish scoring, sound design, composites of visual effects and master output.


Cyn was shot on the Panasonic HVX200 in HD 720p Native using four 8 gig P2 cards. This allowedme to have my assistant editor/cameraman
Ricky Pierre-Louis to download the footage on a Final Cut Pro editing system while still on set. The workflow was amazingly fast and the images were beautiful.
I wanted to give it a very unique look in post so we really pushed the limited of the camera and image.

Excellent. Powerful.

However, I wish you hadn't explained it in your post. I would like to have seen if I could have gotten it with no explanation.

[Alex Sprinkle]

Hi all,
This is the first time I have cut a reel together and it was hard as hell. I already see a lot I want to change and delete but I just wanted to get this far at least.
Please feel free to say anything about it and suggestions. I am more than open for critique.
Thanks!
Aram

Very, very nice. I liked the colors, the effects, the compositions, the music and the lighting. To me it looked absolutely professional. However I was wondering why such a professional video has these shaky / bucking sites!? I am especially thinking about the shots in the park, but there have also been some other shots.

Regards, Oliver

[Phil Kay]

Looks superb,very professional looking actually. Well done.

Thanks for the comments guys. Keep em coming. The shaky shots were because I was shooting hand held with an adapter and rails on the camera and after a day of shooting your arm just can't keep it as steady as you want. I could stop the shake in post but I figured its not that bad. I did think about it though, maybe I will do it.

It's not bad at all - it is just some kind of contrast to the perfect looking rest of the vid. ;-)
