All I can say is I tried my very best :)

My entry into the competition. It took about 2 weeks of planning filming and editing and was the first time I have really used my camera to create a short film like I said I would. It would mean the world to me if you would leave some constructive feedback for me :D

Its entitled "Live to Try"

The premise is that a man is forced to leave aperture and attempts to find a way back inside or face living on the outside :)

Uses elements from Valve's amazing Portal 2 and music from the brilliant The National with their track Exile Vilify

I really like how the film turned out and hope you all enjoy it as well.

Stars
Bradley Plum (Sad Exile)
Kate Whitlock (Happy Exile)

Directed and Filmed
Dan Brace

Shot on a Canon 550D (Kiss x4) and editied with Adobe Premiere Pro

(Yes that last Chord is wrong... artistic license)

  • That was awesome! I had no idea there was a competition like this (don't worry, I won't be entering), but this is brilliant. I'm surprised at how well the in game clips worked with the 550D footage, and I love the whole feel of it!

  • @WillsOdyssey Thanks Will :D Cheers for the awesome comments :)

  • This was overall really brilliant! I love how you used live action shots rather than stills. My only criticism is the girl at the end. It seems cliche and doesn't fit in with the rest of the story- I want to know what happens to the dude after he finds the hole in the fence. Just food for thought. Overall, really amazing.

  • @rsandle Thanks for the comments :D

    My thoughts were that after realising through his dreams the hardships he had been through and knowing the loneliness (as far as our character is concerned he's the only person left on earth, he would have been happy to find a deer) he heard a noise and decided to investigate it. After finding of all things another human he decides to face the real world with someone than continue testing alone

    hope this isn't too long, thought you'd like a bit of backstory :)

  • That is one sexy looking bloke

  • @dangerFX1 Thats my friend Bradley :D ( He's single ladies)
