The Pick Pocket - A short film by Mark Gadia

NOTE: I had to change the music because I didn't have the rights to use the original music.

Just a little film me and my friends did back in the summer of 2005. Yeah, we suck when it comes to action scenes and stuff so don't bother commenting on how much we suck. This was more about me practicing editing and experimenting with dynamic camera angles. I thought it turned out pretty good considering we didn't know what we were doing in the first place.

the comments here is proof that most people know crap about film. this looks like something i made in 6th grade. me and my media tech friends made a trailer in high school and it won state back in '03 search 'Reserve 17 Trailer'

well compared to your trailer (which was pretty damn cool) and my first proper short film (search for HONESTLY a short film) the pick pocket does look like dog crap.

but consider this. prior to making the pick pocket i had no movie making experience at all. zero. none. it was just three guys that wanted to see if they could actually make a stupid little film. and we did. you gotta start somewhere right?

[ajshepp]

you're right you gotta start somewhere. there are some good books out there about film and directing. the best thing to do is run through the entire scene over and over and get as many different angles as possible. get the standard angles, then get creative. then later on when you edit it, you can choose which shots you want to use and when. when you add music, it will be a smoother transition from one song to the next.

i'm actually taking film classes right now. to see how far i've come since THE PICK POCKET check out my other short film called HONESTLY (search 'Honestly a short film' or look at my youtube channel).

the action sceen wasn't that bad, i was not expecting it be hollywood quallity.

[ajshepp]

oh yeah. lighting is everything

[ajshepp]

yeah i watched it. its okay. still needs work. and im not even focusing on the acting (which in my opinion they should have acted more naturally). anyway, everyone's a critic and sorry to be over critical. i just get annoyed sometimes with these other ignorant comments. its not very constructive (im not saying my initial comment was). film does take a lot of experimenting and it doesnt always work the way you expect it.
