The Assassination of Jesse James / Ed Miller Scene

An Atomic Production

Directed by Ben Adams
Produced by Andrew Adams

Starring
Corey Cleary-Stoner as Ed Miller
Blake Blair as Jesse James

Asst. Director Naeem Munaf
Production Coordinator Chase Arrington
Dir. of Photography Ben Adams
Edited by Andrew Adams

This was created for the University of Texas at Austin film production course RTF366D - Directing Workshop under Prof. Ed Radtke and T.A. Roshan Murthy. The assignment was to take a scripted scene, rehearse, and shoot it yourself- preferably without relating to the actual film.

While many chose to re-contextualize their scenes, plot, or characters- we felt, while it'd be near impossible to try and recreate the brilliance of Roger Deakins' cinematography, it was important to retain the relationship of Ed and Jesse and the Western, period setting. We're pretty happy with the result.

@Kyros Not only are Blake and Corey phenomenal actors, but we were very lucky to even have them work with us. They knew all their lines without any cueing, portrayed their characters excellently, and put in the work to both give the brilliant performances you see in this. Neither read cards, and both are very much real actors. You're wrong. Absolutely wrong, and it's insulting to the talents of the two actors.

[Kyros]

I can see why you're not real actors. You're reading from cue cards for christ's sake.
