looks pretty good. I got to admit though everytime I see this thread and see woolie I think of the cocaine laced weed lol. I am not a drug user though.
Constant Vigilance!

Don't make me bust out my patronus.
Only just found this! I thoroughly enjoyed it, not much to add to anybody elses comments, but I enjoyed it. There's no credit for editing? Was that your work too Nick? All in all, this is a really nice piece.
Another question, where did you get the home-video footage from? The outside of the store looks suspiciously like my local Woolies!
I knew it!
It certainly is Redditch. That’s my local! It’s quite sad that I could recognise it from the tiling on the floor. The store’s just been re-opened as a New Look.
Man, the internet sure does make this a small world…
I enjoyed it
Missed this but I'm glad
I was just worried you'd say that it looked like we had fun... We had no fun, Murdock, I promise!
Not the world's most exciting news but interesting all the same (and it comes with a couple of questions):
'Woolies' is screening in Brighton this September at an event called Moviebar. I might or might not attend, yet to be decided. Interestingly a film called 'Personality Aid' is also screening. It's a film for which our esteemed moderator chilipie was gaffer.
Secondly: The film has been accepted to screen at the Cornwall Film Festival. They sent me an email with a bunch of requirements and I thought I'd post them here before I send off a bunch of false information.
Firstly they want: · A high-resolution master copy of your film (mov, avi, mpg file etc. or Mini DV/HDV tape) and Two high-resolution images from your film, in landscape format, emailed to info@cornwallfilmfestival.com (even if you have already submitted one).
Pretty sure I understand the second part but can I just send a DVD for the first part. I feel like I already gave them a DVD...
Secondly: They sent me this little table. Things like title, duration, ID number...etc I know. The rest I can guess slightly, but it's probably best to take guessing out the equation, so if anyone can give me a hand there then that'd be appreciated!
Film Title
Festival ID Number
Aspect Ratio (ie: 16:9, 4:3 etc.)
File Format (ie: avi, mov, mpg. etc.)
File Size (ie: 1080x1920, 720X1080)
Interlaced or Progressive
Exact Duration (hh:mm:ss)
Cheers for any help here and thanks for the Indietalkers who helped on the film in the first place!
Ace! I've been invited along, but attendance depends on whether I can hitch a ride down with the DoP or find a ridiculously cheap train ticket… with any luck I may see you there
Firstly: they want something higher quality than a DVD (which is standard definition MPEG 2). A high definition H.264 .mov should do the trick nicely.
Secondly: the aspect ratio is definitely 16:9 and I'm fairly sure it's 1920x1080 and Progressive, but you'd have to check the Final Cut sequence (or with your DoP) to be 100% certain.
What is higher quality than a DVD? Surely the file will be far too large to email? So what am I expected to send them?
DVD is standard definition. Blu-ray is HD. As far as the size goes, you can get it smaller by converting it with a free program like Handbrake. Use the h264 .mov codec that chili mentioned and just play around with the bitrates until the file is small enough for your liking.
Very nice!
It reminds me a bit of "The office"(British version)
The part I didn't like is when the manager drops the dvds . He just drops them on the floor. It should have looked like he didn't manage to put them properly on the desk and they fell.
