"The Unusual Suspect" - Chapman Video Essay

[FoLLoWiNHISfOOTStEpS]

honestly I gotta say this is one of the best videos I've seen so far, I've been looking at these for hours now XD

[DeezleProductions42]

what camera did u use? had a nice film like glow

[lilruggedboy]

that was totally you at the beginning of the video wasn't it Joe?

[jtsillx]

nah, as you can see the guy in the beginning's white...

[lilruggedboy]

lol, ok, cuz the guy leaning against the car looks different than the one in the passenger's seat in the next shot.

[jtsillx]

because they're two different agents

[philipbpedersen]

This is so good!!

[shp1]

awesome video.. one question.. when you applied to dodge, did you keep your runtime at 2:20, or did you edit it to fit the 2 min. maximum?

[jtsillx]

yeah i just kept it at 2:20, they said it was fine to be a little over

[inkstee]

You manual focus like a mad-man, don't you?

Must be the most ballin-est camera.

This has got to be the most advanced application I've seen yet. You make me nervous.

[Movie81movie]

[aneesh815]

every single chapman video is ok bordering on awful. this was the first one that was fantastic.

[crocogater]

I like this video. I think it's clever.

[taylor12111991]

i was watching those chapman vids all day, but when i first saw yours, i was speechless!

i told my video teacher to look at your videos and today he was like, did you see his chapman video? i said yeah and he was like, if i was chapman i would give him a full scholarship! he is SO good.

[fireladder99]

[aliencow27]

[jtsillx]

we used a panasonic HVX with a red rock film adaptor and nikon lenses. its the lenses that does it. :)

Joe

[snookedbe]

I agree,there really wasn't much of a story here but the video itself is excellent.. great job on pulling focus..I'm assuming you had a followfocus? You're lucky to have access to this kind of equipment wish I had an HVX..I have a DVX,NTG-2/boompole, tripod, and some lights.. (no adapter sadly I had to sell my letus) but I am very happy with what I have. I will be applying next year...hope I get in. I am pretty sure you'll get in, assuming you have good grades and test scores. Good luck!

[spamchika]

I really like it. I also applied to Chapman. btw...really impressed with the HD

[jtsillx]

thanks! good luck on your app!

-Joe

[JakeSaner]

This is nice. where did you shoot the headquarters? that looked pretty legit. I'm also applying to Chapman. Good luck man

[jtsillx]

we used our school video classroom. gl to you too!

-Joe

[frusciante949]

Oh and what are you gonna do about the time? Was it cut down or did you turn this version in?

[jtsillx]

nah, i didn't cut it down. i just called the department and they told me it shouldn't be too big of a problem. i like the post-it note video by the way!

-Joe

[frusciante949]

You are so lucky you have access to that kind of equiptment. I'd kill to shoot in HD.

[MrPinoy91]

I would hate to be the videos that tried to do THAT story and turn it in.

you guys sweeped the plate with this type of story.

ASWOME JOb.

you guys have also a great camera and editor.

[jickpictures]

[jtsillx]

As far as camera goes, I shot with an HVX200 with a red rock micro unit and some nikon prime lenses. rad video by the way!
