A Late Night Snack

Had just received the Canon 7D last week, and wanted to shoot a chase scene to test low light and handheld, and this is what came of it. Less than 2 hours to shoot and a few more to edit.

all handheld or steadicam?

[heyitsjulian]

all handheld my friend, i didn't have the fortune of having a lens with IS either

you know julian, it's people like you who're going to make it as filmmakers. Here you are with a few hours to make a movie and you come up with this, something sweet, well acted, and enjoyable.

I look forward to seeing more of your work soon

[heyitsjulian]

thanks, i appreciate that ! me and Jole (the actor running away) have a webseries on the verge of launching so you will see that within the next couple months :]

what framerate (fps) was this made in?

[heyitsjulian]

24 fps, i believe sometimes the shutter speed may have been between 50 - 100

This is pone of the best looking shorts shot on a dslr that i've seen. Congrats! What were your settings?

[nemosis]

GOOD Very GOOD!! haha the sream was funny. I was just ambient light right?

[drufuss]

oh wow.. such a great short.. the camera is phenominal. your cuts were great and such a good ending.. i rate this a 10 plus. keep creating and hold on tight to that 7d!!

Yep, although someday move to longer films, but only once you've got the economy of a good short film perfect.

Until recently i've been making increasingly long short films which question all sorts of philosophical problems, but in a self indulgent, intentionally ambiguous and confusing way, boring due to a complete disregard for dramatic tension.

I'm now trying to strip everything down to basics and go straight for the emotion. the simple idea.

I use a hv30, would get a 5D but want a Scarlet

I couldn't agree more, this video really show what talented filmmakers can do now the HD market has become much affordable.

I'm a photographer myself, I'm going to upgrade to a 7D or even a 5DmkII soon.  It's exactely shortmovies like this that I play over and over again in my head and that I would like to shoot once I got the camera :)
