@TheGator95 What about it isn't noir? The lighting is, the props like the cigarette, the black felt, the lonely troubled male lead...only thing this is missing is a femme fetal.
@allianceFiLifeDotCom First of all you don't need a femme fatal for noir, watch DETOUR, and because you have props that are associated with noir, does not make it noir. The key element that is missing is story.
@allianceFiLifeDotCom What about the story? You have none. Not to knock your short, but anyone who knows anything about film noir will agree. If this is a film noir, what film noir would you say it closest resembles? Also did you check out "Tell Tale" on vimeo? Now that is a film noir, very Jim Thompson.
@TheGator95 The story is right there in the video. And this is a noir as the video states. It uses enough elements of noir to qualify it as a noir. It is a 2:20 second film with no dialog how much detail of a a story do you expect?
that piano track sounds like a NIN song "Something I could never have". Great videotography as well. It amazes me how far digital cameras have come in 10 years. I remember being psyched about DVCAM and Adobe Premiere like it was the hottest thing ever.
@BayardStudios I know how you feel. Sometimes works in progress get shot down, when the only person who has the video complete is you. I find its best to not share until you are completely done, but I also feel the need to show off your work as well.
Excellent stuff. I thought your use of colour and shadow was brilliant. Filming in such an iconic city worked well with its filmic feel. Brilliant camera too.
Beautiful scenery, iconic time lapse, and an exciting city perfumed with dramatic music. So wtf did he shoot himself? It makes no sense, unless he is a shamed and out-of-work investment banker, in which case I say, "Go for it!"
Great video, hope to see some more soon. Maybe a stupid question but how did you shoot the NYC city scape time segment? How is it possible with this camera, surely you cant fit a whole day on a SD card?
I was told that this camera did not perform well in low light conditions. This video seems to disprove that. Did you use special lighting for your indoor and evening shots? Also, how much is this camera? I am hearing different prices.
I think the GH1 performs very well under low light. To my eye, so long as you keep it at ISO400 or under, the footage will hold up to HD streaming. I only used one 500W tungsten lamp in the darker shots from 4-8 ft. I believe it will be $1,499 when it comes out in the US.
Somewhat of a good news. I was hearing somewhere between $1800 to $2400 for this camera. I was hoping that it would cost less than a Nikon D90. But I guess I was just dreaming.
The $1,499 includes the special 14-140mm stock lens which retails for about $1,000. The GH1 body alone retails in Japan for about the same as the D90.
whhy all the hate? I like this!
