Dark. The opening sequence caught my attention. I like how you bookend the the opening lines with the ending. Would like to learn Japanese swordplay and add it to my arsenal of skills.
It truly shows you took the time to rehearse the fight scenes to give it the creative masterpiece it deserves.
wow. that's cool that u had so much great support! How many days did u shoot? where did u get the samurai clothing? and did u have to do a bunch of rehearsals for the fighting sequences? how long did it last (rehearsals)? sorry for all these questions, mate. haha
3 day shoot...my fantastic costume designer Mariko made all the costumes from scratch...we rehearsed the fight choreography extensively about once a week for 2 months before the shoot...there is a video of rehearsals and storyboards in the playlist "Ai" on my channel, as well as a behind the scenes video, deleted scene and more...so be sure to check those out....and no worries about the questions, I'm more than happy to answer them!!
what in the fuck did you use for that opening sequence? after affects? how many people worked on it and how long? like holy fuck man that looks Hollywood quality
After Effects...my good friend Kohta Asakura did it for me based on my original concept...you can do a lot with AE if you have the skillz. Peep the link in the description to see more of Kohta's work.
If I'm not mistaken just under two months...granted he was working on other projects at the time and this is from first concept to final product. Thanks for the questions!
wow, just 7k? the production value seemed a bit more than that. right on!
where did u find the actors, and did the budget include pay for cast and crew? i was trying to factor in costs for travel, equipment rental, truck rental, post-work (but then again, u coulda used a student to edit the film) especially the effects, and costume & props. i figured it woulda been around 15k. nice!
I had a lot of favors from friends who worked for free...my cast worked for free...my DP used his own P2 camera...we used natural light to cut down on renting lights...edited everything on my own...main costs were transportation, food, props and finishing costs...thanks for the compliment though, I wish I had 15K!!
Budget after all was said and done (Flame color correct, etc) came to around 7K...shot on location at the Poconos in PA at a golf/hotel resort called the Shawnee Inn...feel free to ask more questions!
very VERY nice !
