Thank you Ben,

New experimental short
 

Uh, not really that experimental. Maybe "unusual" is a better term? Anyway, I put way more time into this than I thought I would, so I want it to be good. I'm open to tips and advice. I'm wondering if the jokes are too "inside". I tried to dumb it down a little, but I might not have dumbed it down enough. You'll see what I mean.

Have fun. 2 minutes, 2 megs.

Hey Josh, just wanted to give my 2cts.. that was actually pretty funny.. nice play on words and diff fonts etc... just a lil critique in that some of the shorter sentences were on screen for a while, but then the longer ones cut out really quick (the ones in the beginning not the end) but that may have just be a technical thing, not necessarily an artisitic issue. Regardless, i was watching from work (no music) and it still made me chuckle.. good job!

I wanted some objective opinions on that, actually. How long would you guys recommend leaving the longer sentences up? The shorter? I read faster than a lot of people (I think), so I don't want alienate potential viewers by only catering to my reading speed.

I meant to tell everyone, in addition, that you'll get more out of it watching it full screen than in a 320x240 window.

MINI35 short / official festival selection
 

Sorry to do this, but I don't think my original subject heading was interesting enough for any folks.

I shot this short film 5 minute film using the MINI35 and Canon XL1se and this year it screened at a few film festivals which was really exciting.

I used English subtitles in the film, mainly to give the film more of that Euro-like imported type feel - not only that but the dialog in English is quite drab.

I would love to hear some feedback on this film, please check out the film and post comments/feedback on this post: http://www.dvinfo.net/conf/showthrea...threadid=30460

Thank you all in advance !

Very funny Josh! Thanks for that. Quite "inside" indeed.

Actually I could read everything except the... uhm... credits <g>

Very nice Josh - had me laughing out loud there!
- think what you could have done with Lord of the Rings credits ;-)

Robin

Yeah. . .not supposed to be able to read the "real" credits. . .the ones that go by super-fast. It's just supposed to give you the impression that there's a lot of names.

Were these shot on a dvx? They appear to have that look but i could be wrong. Very nice production value, and interesting music anyways.

P.s there's also a SlamCityJam vid on the site which i didn't shoot, but edited.

Hi Val,

Being a "regrettably" ex-off-roader, I can appreciate the hobby, expensive as it can get. A videographer friend of mine and me have made several videos in the years we've been with our off-road club. My biggest mistake was to overexpose a tad, and in run and gun, one can tend to overlook the zebra stripes, between rocks and mud. I am saying that because, a lot of your clips are slightly overexposed. But not enough to color correct efficiently.

Are you the only one shooting the events? What camcorder are you using? And do you have a rig of your own?

Mask of the Antichrist
 

Hey guys. I'm launching a preliminary edition of Mask of the Antichrist. I shot this on a DVX100. Check it out. http://www.the4thbeast.com. If you're interested in supporting the effort check out my online store.
http://www.customflix.com/Store/ShowTtl.jsp?id=206005

This was shot on the DVX100 and cut on a Mac G4 in FCP. The special effects (the gun effects) are all done in AE. I think you guys will like it.

Mini-short/scene workshop video...
 

This was made a few months ago and I finally realized that it never really got shown here. This little short was made in response to a scene workshop/challenge where the dialog was specified. The video itself could have/do/be anything, so long as it used the specified (deliberately generic) dialog.

This was shot with my brother at his work in just under an hour. About a week-and-a-half later, the one minute video, complete with several visual effects experiments, was finished.

Details and downloads on this page:
Workshop Video Page

Feel free to post comments, critiques and questions here. I'm curious to see what you guys think.

Have fun.

GRUDGE MATCH just got "Best Video of the Week" from Internet Video Magazine!

That was quite nice and funny! The effects where a bit off at times,
but quite well done. Especially "the gun". Good job!

Very good.

Looked very nice and it got my attention. Interesting to see the
full thing! Nice job.

Thanks Rob and others from the other thread.

Had a preview screening last weekend to about 450 people and it was very well-recieved. Laughs and applauses at the end so thats a good sign (i think).

Based on feedback and audience reaction, i've cut it down further. Some scenes worked much better than others. The current cut seems much tighter and the dialogue more fluid.

The current trailer is now available on the link below along with more information on the film:

I'll post a longer trailer for your consumption soon.

Thanx for listening and viewing.

That was just plain awesome.

Well, in going there, the window automatically resizes to a vertical aspect that almost doesn't even fit in my screen, and then nothing happens but a black screen.

Am I missing something?

It worked OK for me - seems to be using flash or something like that, maybe you need the plug-in? My screen is 1600x1200 so maybe that also helped :-)

Looks like an attractive site but during my quick visit I couldn't find much content. I watched the video "She" (I think) which was all I could find. One big problem was that the "mood music" that plays on the home page kept going right over the video which I imagine would drive most people away pretty quickly. I ended up closing the homepage window and just watching in the Quicktime viewer, which probably isn't what you'd want people to do either. Nicely photographed piece.

i didn't have a problem with the exposure for most of the butte vid, but the music sucked... you'll work up a lot more excitement with some motor noise and crowd reaction.

you were on the cutting edge of that megasquirt deal! nice job on that dub vid.

Well... I didn't get anything either. Just a resized, black browser with a Javascript error.

Hmm... It seems to work OK under MacOS X with Internet Explorer 5.2 and Safari 1.01...

I checked on Mozilla Firefox and it appears, but the spacing is all off. Michael, I'd like to check it out but if you could adjust your scripting that would be great - you're currently alienating the majority of folks.

Hey I like your trailer a lot, you've got some really good footage. The only thing i would change is the music. People always say that audio quality can actually improve the look of your video. And while I personally like your self composed soundtrack, it doesn't lend to a professional feel for the event. Put a song on there that people know, something exciting. Unless your planning on airing this add on television, I doubt anyone will mind. You might want to edit this down a little shorter as well, or maybe i'm just too a.d.d.....

BSCA
 

Hey Ryan
Thanks for your candid reply, much appreciated. Yeh the music thing was something we were highly contemplating, mainly because of copyright issues as the trailer is shown online. And not being a music fella myself, per se, it took me forever to compose it via soundtrack. I think we'll continue 'wrestle with self' as it may with regards to the music issue, however if we do it ourselves again, i'll probably get a sound designer to compose it as yes, you're right, not very professional *grin*

As for the length, it's approx 3 mins i reckon, and that was sorta our goal to present to the BCSA (British Columbia Surf Assosciation) .. it might be a bit long for a trailer, but i think we were aiming more towards a 'this is what we can do with the footage' as oppose to like a 30 sec promo trailer.

Again, thanks for the comments, and looking forward to hearing more. Cheers!
Vishal

Hey Michael. Seems your website is encountering some serious problems. The music & layout are all nice assets but there must be something not going right with the scripting. I tried it on IE, Mozilla, & Netscape and recieved the same results. It's really slow and the links aren't really responding.

But then again, that could be due to my ANCIENT computer. One thing that you might want to consider is having an html page with flash elements. My page is just like yours in that it doesn't really work universally on all computers. So I'm gonna have to rework it myself.

Music Video (shot with XL1s)
 

For those who might remember, I became a video producer to a Milwaukee based artist who goes by the name of Cincere. Although we produced many intro montages which I have posted before, the time is finally here for Cincere's first actual music video.
The song and the video will be officially introduced in front of a live audience of over a thousand kids, politicians, and other community leaders on September 15th; I will be making my directorial debut. We have commitment from couple of the TV and radio stations to carry a live feed from the event and to broadcast the video on the morning show and most likly re-broadcast it for the night news.
"Daddy" is a very personal song and it covers a tough issue. It was an honor for me to be chosen to produce a video for it, and now, I would like to share it with the community from which I have learned so much over the last year. Please enjoy.
