Show Your Work 2008

Okay,

the climax and the audio I understand and I think the fix is easy

but the pace - how do I alter that? should the sequences be shorter? should there be more edit points?

I'm assuming the pace is too slow but how do I speed it up?

In our recent entry with the 48 Hour Film Project we drew horror as a genre. Here is what we came up with:

Loved the closing pool shot! Very nice. The music was a little repetitive, but for a 48 hour fest I can understand that you were probably swamped since you shot a lot of coverage. The camera work was pretty good. How did you do in the Fest?
Horror is always fun.

PS- If you have a chance, please take a look at my latest. I would love to hear what you think. The Watchman

Thanks,

Mike

We'll know about how we did on September 4.

Yeah, with a 3 hour trip to deliver, our 48 hours was reduced to 45, and I did shoot a lot of coverage. I swear next time I do one of those, I will have someone capturing footage after every scene. That cost me about 4 hours with some capture problems that developed. I originally was going to capture everything in Cineform, captured one tape, and then it ran so long to convert, I finally captured rest via HDVSplit.

By the way, actually shot this with Z1 and Fx1 using--- Cineframe24 !

Hi All,

I've recently finished Episode One of my new 'NO BUDGET' sci-fi/horror web series called WIRED. You can view it here: THE VIDEO COMPANY TV, where I plan to show them all to everyone for FREE.

Since getting into video production around 7 years ago, I've mainly worked on weddings and corporate videos. However, I always wanted to start tv & film production, with WIRED being my first attempt.

Everything was done by myself, including the writing, directing, producing, camerawork, editing and a small cameo at the end. I know this has problems, but I do consider it a success as I had no money or experience of this type of work. The fortunate thing is, I've managed to purchase all the required equipment over the years, and should be able to practice my craft by firing these out.

As I'm a Rodriguez fan, this episode was done in the style of Grindhouse, and I plan to make the next one similar to Sin City. The next episode should give me more practice at writing dialogue, and experience casting people for the roles.

Anyway, feel free to watch and provide any CC that you feel will benefit myself.

Cheers,

James.

Just a couple of web videos we've added to our website. (Finally found some time to upload videos, hopefully more to come soon :)

The Red Bull Air Race was produced in May 2007. And the Goulding's Lodge 30 second commercial was produced sometime in 2006.

Both shot on the Caon XL2, 24p, and edited on Adobe PP2.

Best,

This is a silly little thing we put together. Give it a look and tell me what you think.

Thanks for your input Caleb! You are right, the beginning is a bit too slow. I was taking liberties with it because I knew that this commercial is going to be on a promo DVD and I felt that the viewers would be more inclined to sit through it because they are invested in watching it. Now I'm not so sure.

However, later we also plan to post it on the web and at that time I will definitely make some of the cuts you suggested, shortening the first half and increasing its energy.

My thoughts, from someone who produces hundreds of commercials a year...
It is extremely long for a commercial!
In my little world commercials are :15, :30, or :60 seconds.

Kenny Kinds · August 28th, 2008, 11:33 AM

This is a short film we just completed a couple of weeks ago. We were asked to make it as part of the opening of a theater opening in the area.

It was shot on a Canon XL HD1

YouTube - CODA

thanks for watching

Mike Watkins · August 29th, 2008, 10:21 PM

Totally missed the silly part in your post...I was totally suckered in to the plot, and laughed out loud...

Good Job.

Paul Whittington · August 30th, 2008, 06:00 PM

I thought it was quite good! Hope you make more episodes.

Tim Miller · August 30th, 2008, 07:20 PM

Thanks for the comments!

Yeah, that was the 2nd episode and we plan to keep making them until someone makes us stop. :-)
