Great film guys! I have a quick question for you. I'm thinking of entering this year's competition in my city, but I was wondering: What kind of camera did you use, film or digital? What software did you use to edit it together?

[focusmedia]

JVC GY-HD200ub with a redrock adapter using canon 85mm and 200mm lens.

we edit on adobe CS3, about to upgrade to CS4.

:)

I dont get it.... It's boring, and the filming is bad. sorry but I dont see why you won

[focusmedia]

:( Well we did have 48 hours to write, shoot and edit.. harder then it sounds man. oh well to get your approval I will try harder on the next one. :)

[whollymoses]

I wonder what these guys will do when not limited to just 48 hours. : )

[focusmedia]

Zombie movie will answer that question...

[andyun13]

that was entertaining. except im kinda confused. he pretended to be shot?

[makoli253]

I'm excited for you guys on the 48 Hour Film Project: International! Focus! Eyes on the Prize!

[KINGSprod]

nice job

[r12895]

um... why did those guys hang around there to shoot a random man (clearly not wearing a badge) that happened upon the same place? it just makes no sense, too vigilante also... just no real justice.

@OmegaFilmProductions Maybe when you've been in the craft a little longer, you'll begin to see that not everything is supposed to look like a TV show. The judges in Seattle acknowledged this for Direction, Cinematography, Editing, and Acting.

I also thought that it was well scored.

I'd be interested to see what you can produce within the constraints of the 48 Hour Film Project. Maybe your mom can give you some money to compete in Portland later this year.

@Animefreak869 thank you! : )

[relentless]

Okay the bad news: what the ??? The content just died somewhere between the roof and the alley.

The Good News: Loved the effect, the lead actor and the music kept me.

[MeXMMA]

Nice, really liked the story and cinematography.

[moesay]

Good to watch.

[Gizathecat2]

Very good! I couldn't tell what the "required elememts" were.....you incorporated them so well. Sometimes the required elements in these sorts of films stick out like sore thumbs....
