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.
