An Elevated Sense Of Living - 2008

This is my film, "An Elevated Sense of Living". If you want to ask me any questions, just comment, or email me! My email is on my Youtube page.

Inspired by the 1999 event of New York office worker Nicholas White who became trapped in an elevator for 41 hours. This film takes that idea and presents a Nicholas White who works for a global society on a constant routine and lives an unfullfilling existence. It is not until he gets trapped in elevator that things change, giving him an elevated sense of living...enjoy!

Note - The quality is slightly dimished, its less blurry, watch in high quality :D!

I love the cuts with the security camera - that looks awesome, and the colour filters too.

What editing software did you use?

[CapelMaestro43262]

thankyou allayne13!

i used a few programs, Adobe Premiere Pro 2 for the bulk of it, and also After Effects to get the green camera lined look.

Thanks again for watching, much appreciated! :D

[CapelMaestro43262]

Thanks for your comment GrizzlyFist, im glad it effected you in such a way. I was hoping someone out there would see that in it :D.

In this world today, our souls are the things that stop us becoming the technology we use.

Thankyou.

If you have any questions, feel free to email (its on my youtube page). I am more than happy to help/give tips to ext. 2 students cause i know how difficult it can be :)

I'm doing ext 2 at the moment too, but I'm really stuck on ideas :S

What program did you use to edit? or howdid you edit?

Thanks heaps!

I commend you for doing Ext. 2, as its pretty much the best subject in school, much easier than all the other english's and fun!

My email is on my Youtube page, so feel free to email me any questions you have, because i am more than happy to help (i have alot of time on my hands now that i've finished:P). But to answer your first question, i used a program called "Premiere Pro 2" and its an excellent program, you can do almost anything :D.

Excellent. I like the colour filters, this is a perfect example of society.

I visited similar topics in my e2 poetry in regards to generations X and Y,

my words cannot expressed how my soul connected to your story, your message. Human compasion, our soul is being crushed, its in-human. This is not how its supposed to be.
