    Why do you think the festivals weren't into this?

    Sorry M1chea1, i was talking to Gonzo. Gonzo do you think this film looks like a crappy student film because it was shot hand held? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYxs7Y7ulrM&eurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww%2Eaintitcool%2Ecom%2Fnode%2F40921&feature=player_embedded

    Whats everyone's problem with hand-held? I think its great. I honestly can't see how that makes a film "technically" not good. Again, not being defensive, and i appreciate the comments, but seriously is it that bad?

    Why do you think the festivals weren't into this?

    I think VO is great. Think about the opening to No Country For Old Men, for example. In the case of my short, i was trying to use it to tell a lot of story in a small amount of time and create a dichotomy between what we were seeing him do and what he was - forcing the question: Why is he doing...

    Good comments, popper666. Thank you. The only thing i will say is that it might be the compression making it look so dark. But then again, maybe not. Cheers.

    Thank you, rcnineteen, really nice of you to say. Yes i am "self-taught" to a large extent. I started out as a runner on commercials and have worked my way up to directing. I did a communications degree in film theory but it didn't have have any practical training. This is the second short film...

    Why do you think the festivals weren't into this?

    That is an interesting point: because the technique is over used it pulled you out of the film where as highdeafproductions said that he thought the cinematography was off and that is why it wouldn't get in. But it seems the camera work was not festival material. Again this is surprising as it...

    Wow, thanx for the input guys. Spatula, i did submit it to both festivals and i didn't get into either. :huh: Also a big thank you to highdeafproductions. Really appreciate you going through what you look for. Its sometimes frustrating that the short film makers never get to get specific...

    No, it was a script that was given to me by an ad agency in Singapore called Ogilvy. I agree that the implications are a little full on for an oil commercial. But at least it isn't ultra fluffy either. I find that sort of thing just as hard to watch. And i'm glad you liked the look. Old...

    Why do you think the festivals weren't into this?

    Directorik, I put it into all the major festivls.. Cannes, Sundance, Telluride, ec. But also into smaller ones like Palm Springs. The only places it got any love was Austin and Flickerfest and St Kilda in Australia. After all the work, it feels like a bit of a shame. Also, the small number of...

    Hey hey, Thought you guys might be interested in this spot we shot on Red with anamorphics. Think the look turned out great. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LyOe-GpUcA&feature=channel_page It was shot in Australia by Aussie DP Lachlan Milne. I think he did a really good job. Cheers

    It was shot on 16mm arriflex. Not sure the exact model. I could find out if you are desperate to know. And i have directed a couple of music video and small commercial work.

    Well, i guess to get an agent and hopefully access to bigger and better things. I worry that people only see the violence in it and that they don't see the craft or story telling. Thats why i thought it would be good to show it here. Any thoughts?

    Hey hey - Getting the word on my short

    Hey guys, New to this. Just trying to get some reviews on my short. It got into a few festivals but never made a big splash. Was wondering what people thought of it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rldcaWxOig&feature=channel_page http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcGwYbMy2As&feature=channel_page...
