It´s a good question, I think I need to update that one. Altough in that scene he is supposed to be angry, but I think that redness is too much.

So image updated.
 
Some more screens, the process is going well but there are many more shooting days left. I estimate that the film could be around 75-90 minutes long.

It would be great to get the movie to festivals, time will tell. I think there are still problems with the audio, but at least some of the scenes work.
 
The trailer is a bit long. The sound echoes a lot as well. And the paint brush sounds unrealistic. But the acting is good, and the cinematography is great. Good luck! :cool:
 
I have to admit that working with audio is not my favourite thing in the world, mainly because I do not know what I am doing :) I quess I have to learn. Actors are indeed great, we did a lot of practice before the movie and all the actors have a background in theatre and I think it shows nicely. I bought my first DSLR camera four months ago and learned everything for this movie, so yes I am very pleased about the cinematography that it seems to be working so well. What is interesting is that in the movie there are no camera movement at all, it is shot like theatre play.
 
And some screen shots from the final cut.

The movie is cut and it is 70 minutes of length. I hope it will be in youtube end of the year but it might go to January or February.

Hi, the budget was around 700 euro with camera and microphone included. I do like to create features over shorts and with every movie I hope to learn and improve my skills :)
