Goodbye

A couple sadly says goodbye, aware that this is the end of their relationship.

My third student film, and probably the best of my student films in terms of story. It includes my first real use of my dolly design, which was when I figured out it had a few flaws and needed to be tweaked. Also my first attempt at a genuine special effect.

A New York Film Academy student film. 16mm B&W (Reversal), No Audio, cut on Final Cut Pro. Filmed July 12, 2003. Shot in Griffith Park, Hollywood, CA. 3:14

To dark.. And no sound..?

@MudkipHitler too dark: that's because it is B&W reversal film (it requires no print, it is not a negative but it's own print). No sound: because when you start in film school, you tell the story purely with pictures. Audio comes later.

@MudkipHitler I should add, B&W reversal has poor latitude on brights and darks

[derekwbeck]

@MudkipHitler ... and we used the cheapest telecine possible (film to video transfer), which also made it darker. The original film is not so dark.

Good continuity. Nice twist. All in all very good. Didnt your final project need music? I was at NYFA in New York and my final project needed to be a musical montage. You should check it out and tell me if you like it. Its in my videos. Its called 'Hope'.
