InBloom - The Full Short Film HD Version

I should have gotten these compression settings like this the first time, but i guess it just took a while for me to figure out. So i uploaded this version for those who would like to see the film in higher quality.

Enjoy!

This is a film I directed myself at Interlochen Arts Academy. It took me about 4 months to prepare, 3 days to shoot, and 2 months to edit. Its been the biggest film ive ever pulled together. I have to thank everyone involved in my crew and department at interlochen for the amazing job that did in order to make this film possible.

Here is a short synopsis:
Mark lives isolated in his home tucked into the woods in order to deal with his severe case of OCD. His living standards have corrupted him to the point where Mark must escape, so he relies on his disorder one last time to determine the day in which he can save himself.

The film was shot on my Panasonic DVX-100b with my home built 35mm adapter. Dylanger Bates shot the piece and did an amazing job with adapting to the controls and techniques of filming with the adapter, and I want to note how thankful i am.

Furthermore, all the music was given to me with the legal rights to use it in my film. Thanks to Korey Dane and Mogwai, they were very gracious in allowing me to use theyre music.

Other scoring, and sound effects (like the first 45 secs of film) were composed by myself with various sound effects from the BBC sound effects library.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the film, my apologies for being late on the expected release, it was very hard for me to finally allow myself to export the film and call it quits on trying to fix every issue i had with it. In my mind, it wont ever be finished, but i hope its good enough!

@skategriggs I looked in the credits for the first song that plays when he's doing his morning routine, "The pressures of New York City" and I can't find it anywhere. I know you get a lot of questions about this stuff but this is really important to me and I just love you're channel!

[Ruttikers]

awesome video dude. Really good. It deserves more attention

[oromisszane]

i would have liked it better if it ended on a note more like he would cope with his ocd with her by his side rather than her making his ocd go away; just seemed a bit unrealistic

[JAEWILLZTV]
