Good stuff, I really enjoy abstract work like that. The shots looked really great. and like the above poster. How'd you to the still shots in the air. what did you shoot this with?

I agree with the above poster, beach shot is great. Not so sure about the sword fight. But maybe thats because I used to fence and "fake" fights stand out real bad to me.

In all the mirror shots I masked out the mirrors in after effects, then replaced whtat hould be the mirror image with another shot. so basically each time in front of the mirror was shot twice. once for the "real" person and once for the reflection.

On the website filmfights.com they do themed challenges ever few weeks. This weeks is to film noir, and was to be titled " the suitcase ". Other requirments, no clear face shots, must be b&w and no direct character to character dialogue. Given the conditions, this is what I came up with. I'm...

I tried to watch it, but it looks like the serverbeer.com server is down or something.

rock on man, thanks for the kind words.

hey man, I watched your trailer. I dig what you got going on, thats a cool story idea. good luck getting accepted to sundance.

I dig that its set to the sound of the ticking clock the whole time. cool stuff.

Back at it again making an abstract kinda thing with music and some kind of story if you reach in to your imagination enough. I've spent entirely too much time on it for what it is, But I hope people still think its alright. As always I look forward to comments/suggestions...

Hey thanks for the comments, Looking back now I agree with a lot of what you said. When the girl goes outside it doesn't feel quite like it fits, because the color and camera are different. with the guy it was all tripod, with the girl it was all steadicam. Also the guy was on overcast day and...

That looks like it will be funny for sure.

zensteve thanks for the comments, To be honest I could make up good story about the connection between the male and female. But there wasn't anything intentional aside from what I have available to work with. The blown out white bit, I was aiming to try and get a back lit silohette type look...

Hey, This is one of those film with no plan and just see what you can come up with in the editing process. Its pretty random, but I was just curious to see what other people thought of it. http://www.media-garden.org/fin/abstract01.mov
