I like it. Might you go into the film industry?

[AdamBertocci]

I already am in the industry, sort of (I work as an editor and graphic artist). If someone sees my films and wishes to hire me as a writer or director, that'd be good too. :p

[JedimasterRonin]

This looks great!

What program did you use for the effects?

[AdamBertocci]

Thanks!

After Effects for anything of the "HELLO I'M A VISUAL EFFECT" variety. Though some subtler effects were handled with just Photoshop or with editing tricks in Final Cut.

But frankly, the best effects shots in the whole piece (not featured in this trailer) were done with sewing thread and Scotch tape. :D

If you're directing this at me, then yes, I do "work" outside of Brooklyn. Hopefully I'll make it somewhere.

[RollandB]

Hehe yes, I've noticed she's the Penelope Cruz to your Almodovar.

I'm a big star wars fan, so I'm looking forward to this short! So do you work out of Brooklyn?

[AdamBertocci]

Ah! My first 'repeat customer' from the Nostalgia video, aside from folks who hated the commercial so much they decided to leave one-star ratings on my other videos and leave the astute criticisms of "gay" and "wtf".

Yes, Carolyn is a regular star of mine, and if you poke around some of my other films you just may find some more of her work. :D

[RollandB]

It's carolyn siegel isn't it

[RollandB]

Ok I gotta know, what's her name?

[katsuru]

Editor in your movies? Or small films? Either way, you should try to find them, instead of them finding you. Idk, just some advice. =D
