Thank you so much! And thank you everyone for your remarks! Yes, the colors are very soft and pale. Our camera op, who dabbles in cinematography, really did a great job.
Art is subjective. As a film major, you should know that. While we do not expect the support of everyone, you should know that your attempt to discourage us only fuels our desires to go further. Perhaps you are jealous because it didn't take film school or education in video production for us to make something so creative. To each his own. So you don't like our films--good. You weren't the target audience. Have a great day, Greg.
Of course we don't mind! We're honored that you like our work and that you want to share it. By all means, share away, new friend! We've already bulletin'd our friends about your hilarious grinch video. Totally weird! :)
Wow! Thanks so much. That's exactly what we were aiming for. And we will be filming the next episode in two weeks or so. Woot! It will come out in December.
This is very high quality stuff. A couple of things. I think if you can find an alternative to using greenscreen you should use it. Greenscreen, unless it is justified because there's no realistic alternative...like a space ship scene or something..always breaks the illusion of reality and feels unneccesary. If camera work is going to be less than smoothe because of the gear, I'd say go with it, get a more rough and ready mockumentary style. Or cut around camera moves. My 2 cents worth!:)
Thanks for that! We used green screen to avoid having to film in public, which requires permits. But you're right! If we were preparing our project for festivals, we would totally avoid using this much green screen. :)
That's cool, I was just being pedantic, really. If it was me...well, I might use a small hand held camera in the car for a quick lap around the block...done that before...and one alternative might be to show the car driving past and some shots out the window and dub the dialog over the images.
Anyway...your films are great, so, 5/5 from me!:)
Oh, you're totally right. We could have done more to make this episode impressive...which is why your support and comments are welcome! We want to go all the way with our work.
We're so glad you liked it! We're not sure how we will continue The Trouble With Sarah Crane. It would do well as either a webi-series or a film. :) We'll keep you posted! And with Strout's Ink, we often film and release quarterly.
I love it! It turned out g-r-e-a-t! I especially love the radio music! You guys should make some CD soundtracks from your films. The part in the car reminds me of the beginning of "Spirited Away" with the music and stuff... erm.. hard to put into words.. Well, Happy Halloween!
WOW April! That was VERY beautifully done. I was very surprised, seriously at how compelling this actually turned out to be. Allie did a wonderful, convincing job, really topped her performance from Florence's Grandmother. I really was hoping she would zap those people! It's also nice and a little interesting to see you and Arne interact for the first time in one of your films. REALLY impressive!
Also love the little reference to the Florence's Granddaughter (misspelled it last time, it's late) music video on the radio. I love how Arne always has a fixation with fire and electricity (in all his games) and you always have a "magic power" that "has to be wielded." LOL!
It's funny....the quality on this film is actually much better than what you can view here. I was worried that the compression would ruin the film and no one would see the charm that you're referring to.
It really is! I think what helps is that most of it is indoors so the sound sounds really crisp and uninterrupted by the weather. Havensole's gotten extremely good too. I loved the music in this one and the special effects person did a great job! Overall, hey, I think may enjoy this as much as LOG!
Thank you so much!
