Flashes from Japan
Over the past 6 months I have been adding high resolution clips from Japan to my site.
If you have a moment over, please surf over to my site and take a look at the clips in the Gallery section. Most clips need a fast BroadBand connection to keep the download time short. However I have now started to add lower resolution versions to make the clips more accessible. You'll need Flash player 8 too! Let me know what you think. Thanks in advance, Douglas The link is http://www.gaijin-eyes.com |
Andy,
I was wondering where you guys were at with this. I just finished watching the pilot and really enjoyed it. The production value is up. Nicely cut, great ensemble. I loved the addition of the Dwight Shrute bobblehead. And the Lance Hunter game show meltdown. BTW, did I just see Ben/Jamie on a national commercial for Rogers? As I recall, you were going to pitch it to the Comedy Channel? Good luck with it, and keep us posted. It is kind of addicting. |
A song this beautiful deserves beauty to match...Job done!

I'll Be Loving You (1:52) http://elmerlang.com/I'llBeLovingYou2.html |
Is this for real? I thought it was a spoof, I mean, you've got a bath in your kitchen. Must be a spoof.
Strangely though, I actually quite enjoyed it. But, it did feel like the equivalent of reading someone's private love letter. Liam. |
My Fake Get a Mac Ad - "Copycat"
Hello Everyone,
I have just completed a fictional commercial, entitled, "Copycat." It is one of the many fake Get a Mac ads out there. I wanted to take a professional approach and see that with the presence that Windows Vista looks similiar to Mac OSX, I could that from concept to a finished piece. My girlfriend came up with the idea, and was behind the camera while my friend Tom, the PC Guy and I were in front of the camera. It was shot on my HD110 at 720P/24P. Please note that we did not have a green screen or good lighting (as evidenced in the Outtakes section). I would really like to know what professionals and amateurs alike think so please critique--I would like to know both the good and the bad. I also recently learned better webpage creation techniques, such as SEO. I wanted to experiment with that as well, so I built the site around that. While I did use some graphics from Apple.com, I did my own coding. I took the concept of "copycatting" into the design of the website. And finally, here is the website: http://www.justinsabo.com/js/getamac Thanks again for taking the time to view/review it! |
My 10 pence worth:
If you're going to 'copy' something, you should make sure you add something or improve something from the original. This just looked homespun, actually it looked like a Microsoft Christmas video. Hard, but I hope fair. Liam. |
Although these Mac Ads seem to be quite mock-magnets, this one certainly sticks out in quality and professionalism.
I have to be honest, it did make me smile; but not laugh out loud. Well done though! -C. Collins |
Looks pretty good for the lighting and backdrop you had (as seen in the outtakes section). But I could see there was something strange about the background in the video. Good job though. Keep shooting.

Some Music Videos (most of them DSR-400pk)
Hello everyone!
Here you have a bunch of music videos we´ve done the past year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8dsnZ3TKzI http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2rOVddbgyQ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV1AJgErw3E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU-01r7YS7g http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XLwd-viBi1M http://www.youtube.com/profile_video...antizon&page=2 All were done with a budget between 400€ and 1800€. We do everything in the process, from idea to delivery. 90% were shot with a DVCam Dsr-400pk (fujinon 17x9mm). Edited in FCP, with some AEFX. We don´t have too much time to spend in each project, they are always in a hurry. :( I think that could be the major problem with our videos... they look kind of fastdone... Thanks for taking the time to view it! |
"Soy la Ley" was a pretty cool song with a pretty cool video. It looked like you probably spent the most time on that one too, so there might be some truth to what you're saying. I wouldn't say the others felt like they were rushed productions, they just aren't at the same level. Nice work.

48 Hour Film shot with an XL2
This is a film that I wrote shot and edited in under 48 hours for a film contest last year. It's the work I'm most proud of so far, but mostly because I can only convince people to help if it's only for a weekend. Anyway enjoy.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=q_oWdB7PdAI |
Thank you.
"Soy la ley" was recorded in one day (chroma in the morning, running and singing in the afternoon) and edited in five or six days. So i thing it is that we´re starting to do things right ;) |
Saying Goodbye To My Xl1
Some of my work shot on the Canon XL1 the past couple of years.
1.Instrumental music video / Shot one of hottest days (temperature 46 deg. celcius ) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dmgx4Eb4Kgo 2. Scenes from TV series / Wolfgang Riebe / Master Magician. RIPSAW - cutting a man in half / Illusion was based on camera trickery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1DvVWhcojoI Herman. |
New Trailer
I would love some feedback for our new show. We shot it with a GL-2 edited Vegas6. Real basic stuff.
I would love your feedback as I am always trying to improve. Thanks! http://www.dogster.com/video/513953/Pet_places |
Short Edit with AG-DVC30 - Flight
Here's a short edit I made using my DVC30. Tell me what you think, sorry for the poor compression on Putfile. When you do view it, click the right button on the bottom and view it in "original" size to eliminate the nasty artifacts that come with putfile's recompression.

One of my Rap videos!
What do you guys think?

Nice work Mike. I'm jealous - i wish i could shoot from a plane! keep up the good work!

Nice track, though probably a bit long, it could do with a radio edit.
Video doesn't add much, but it's YouTube friendly. It could have done with a creative theme or two rather than just a collection of unconnected performances as the performances in themselves just aren't strong enough to sustain interest. Not sure about the dissolves at the start, just makes the scene look badly directed. Also, the 'live performance' shots are very badly lit and you should just take them out. I'd go back to the edit suite and work it over. The track deserves it. Liam. |
More Feedback
1. Utilise the colourful vehicles you had in your plot.
2. Like said / Drop the dissolves at the beginning. 3. The glasses and bottles stay full throughout the whole party. If you hired me, i could've helped with the continuity by consumption ! 4. Otherwise I second the first comments on your video. Cut a 3min 40sec version.(app.) Herman. |
thanks for the input. i agree with everything suggested.. i did it all in one day(shooting). it was last minute and unorganized. edited it in about 7 hours. they paid more money for the club rental than the video! it was a learning experience. you know how these things go. thanks

Two high school jocks on a silly adventure!
Check out the adventures of Felix and Marcus, two high school jocks who aren't the brightest of individuals. They're preparing for the "Bell Game", an annual football game between two rival high schools, in order to retain their coveted Bell Trophy.

Wedding Video
Here is a wedding video I made recently. Your thoughts as always are welcome. This was captured with a DVX100A.
http://home.surewest.net/jourdan/janae.mov |
It's only about 2:16 in length, right? Cause the file went up to 6:26 but there was nothing there. Anyway, here's what I liked about it. The music worked, it was very appropriate for the flow of the segment. I liked the shots of the garden, they really set the atmosphere of the wedding. I also thought the slight vignetting was a great choice. The oversaturation when the people stood up to applaud was a nice effect too, although just being picky here, a bit abrupt.
I only have one other small thing to nitpick about it, the footage is a little too close up for my tastes, and there's a lot of zoom used. But man, great work! Certainly a lot better than anything I could do. |
Chris,
Thanks for the kind words. Also thank you for taking the time to watch it and yes the film is only 2 minutes and some change. I just goofed up and left the audio track uncut. Im going to fix that. Take care. |
CASI CASI - On HBO DVD May 15th!
Hello, all! Just wanted to let you know that my first feature film, CASI CASI, will be available on DVD from HBO Video beginning May 15th. It was shot with a very small crew using a DVX100 camera, and has been making a splash in a bunch of film festivals last year.
The DVD will have a feature-length audio commentary (which we recorded at HBO's studio in a very cool session!) as well as a making-of featurette. All you indie filmmakers will get a kick out of this movie, as well as the behind the scenes feature and the commentary. For more info, check out the official website: www.casicasi.com. The DVD will be available at major stores, as well as online through the usual retailers (Amazon, Walmart, Borders, etc.) You'll also be able to catch it on HBO television beginning in October, but you'll want to see the DVD because of all the making-of stuff. Thanks for your support. Making this movie was possible in large part due to the knowledge of the members of DVinfo. It is a priviledge to finally announce the availability of our DVD on this forum. |

Finally - A Fair Price
Hey guys.
I finally have something to show. This was actually done last year, and some of you might remember me talking about something I did that didn't come out well. So we cut it "Grindhouse" style and it actually works pretty well as a trailer. It was originally to be a 15 minute short. Anyway, hope you enjoy it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VTbyTBdpIEM |
wow, the Letus really works well - nicely photographed.

CONTROL 1999 - 2002: Opinions please
Here is some footage from a $200 8mm Sharp camera from 1999 -2002. I converted it to 16:9 and tried 24p. When viewed smaller it doesn't look to bad. Just wanted to gather some opinions and thoughts on this now VERY old footage. I uploaded it to google video as a .mov, so I'll have to try other formats and probably read to find the best settings and format for GV. Here is the blurb and link:
Control 1999 - 2002 gives us the sport side, in 9 minutes, what film maker Marco Wagner went through to make the three "I Believe I Can Fly" shorts. Loads of skatboarding, ATB, and mountainboarding condensed into the choice shots. Not bad for someone who was pushing 30 at the time. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...02594058612439 |
Loved it..great work. What mount and lens were you using?

A few of my Volkswagen Vids
These were shot over the past few months as I toured the U.S. in a 1973 VW bus. I threw these clips together for the VW community but thought I'd share them here as well. I put them together goofing around with MS Moviemaker. I'm currently working on a DVD tutorial for Premiere.

Dissonance
The general jist of this piece is a young father experiencing his own, sudden loss of life; his own. Everything we see is his own thoughts.
The link to the film is LEFT SCROLL DOWN TO THE VIDEO MENU (No reg required) http://auteurtheory.ning.com/ This was shot for DVXuser. Thoughts apppreciated, but no SUGAR please! |
My short about low morale (2 min) shot w/ an XL2
This is just a quick little thing me and my friends from the band The Spill Canvas put together for their fans. We made up the whole thing on the spot. The sun was going down so I white balanced on a light blue t-shirt to give it a sort of warm card look.
Anyway, nothing too exciting I just thought I would show it off. http://youtube.com/watch?v=3bFPuCtfIh4 |

Thanks for that. I enjoyed watching them. Looks like some good places you went to.

John,
Well done... It's kind of hard to judge the cinematography because of the compression, but the whole thing has a surreal edge. Kind of a Jacobs Ladder sort of feel. I'd like to watch it again, but I find it a little disturbing... ahh! the power of the medium. But with a deceased father, and a son I play baseball with... maybe it's a little too close to home. 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. |

New Short Comedy Sketch - "Snitch"
Hey everyone,
I was doing some cleaning the other day and came across some old props I had, so me and my friends put together short skit in about two hours. It came out pretty good. It’s called “Snitch”, and it’s a short film (about 3 minutes) about a little boy with a tattle problem, with an unexpected twist. www.greenbench.tv/videos/Snitch.wmv Enjoy, feedback is appreciated, although I’m more interested in the content than the quality. Equipment Used: DVX100B Oktava Lowel Light Kit Sincerely, John Holland www.greenbench.tv |
Haha that was certainly...interesting lol
|
Yeah, unexpected. :)
