Audio wise - Yep, a boom mic. The audio was recorded on an audio recorder and synced in post.
At the time of filming, there were no DSLR shooting video. We shot on a RED One camera. With the money I spent on rentals, you could buy a DSLR - Which is a good option! Just get the audio right.
@SportsCurry Heya! The workflow went pretty smoothly for me, as I had a background in post production and I had researched a lot before the shoot.
In relation to the budget. While doing year 12 I had my own business, so I was able to finance my film through money made from producing corporate videos.
lol i went to top screens twice ..i think u were at the second one i went to n u did a talk and that guy kept cutting u off lol i was laughing.
just wanted to let u no ur film was great, u must have put alot of time into it.
i'm so lost for ideas on what to do my film on this year, I just want to get into pre-production already. GAH! Got any good idea u didn't end up using! lol
Oh, hadnt seen 'The pitch' before, just saw it then for the first time on youtube. So I wouldnt say that i ripped it off. I can see the similarities, very funny.
I got the pyrotechnics done by a local company and police uniforms from a company that provides guns and uniforms to the film industry.
Arty, playing the performing midget, I knew from another project I was involved in.

hey i'm another person who saw this at top screen, and i have to say it was reeeaaaalllyyy well done. if you get the chance i think you should upload it (coz i wanna see it again haha). kudos to you for such awesome work.
Hey I was another that saw this a top screen yesterday. We were also talking about it in class and how well you have done! It was defenitly the best one there! I am still stuck for ideas for my year 12 film this year! Well donee!!
Even look in newspapers, heaps of news you could adapt into a great short film, or look at people around you, develop characters based on people you know. Can actually be pretty fun! :) good luck!
Thanks. I hired from Lemac, I think I was the first high school student to hire the Red One from them, so it took a few conversations and a meeting to get it.
the camera kit with lenses was about $1,600 a day.
There isnt many complications, as long as you have an intel mac to work on with the latest FCP. Since this film, I have done post production on a couple of projects shot on Red with no problems.
Thank you! I don't have any plans to put the film online, at least not anytime soon. I just got a letter from VCAA saying that the film has been selected for Top Screen, so you will be able to see it there :)
Also feel free to check out photos from the production days... the link to that is in the video description.
hey - thats awesome that you got shortlisted! i entered mine and got nothin haha. oh well. i hope you get in though coz the advertisement alone looks fantastic! (your own narration???) look forward to seeing the whole thing - i subbed so i dont forget haha!
wow! - this looks amazing! great filming and it has an awesome feel to it - professional as! (is this your actual piece or is it advertising your actual piece???) either way - love it!
(and thanx for your comment! nice to hear from people i don't know haha!)
in regards to equipment used,
your voice clarity and levels were awesome through out the whole thing, what did you use, a boom mic or....
also just out of curiosity did you have a dedicated video camera or were you using a high end DLR with video?

An idea will come to you, just think simple -
