"Karma - this is a loop" experimental short film (Looped 1.5x)

This is my first short film ever. I want to create a story that able to loop endlessly and my personal life experience which gave me the inspiration of this storyline.

What goes around comes back around, no matter what you did is good or bad, everything will come back after a cycle. In this video, the loop can be endless but I cut it to be repeated only half of the loop which I think is sufficient enough for viewers to understand whats going on and what I'm trying to show.

Also, for this project I wanted to try 3d software and also use after effects on real life footages because I'm really crap on this 2 softwares :)

As for karma, this is just my own personal believe and do not meant start any religious views clash thingy.

directing, photograhy, acting & editing did myself.

I need some explaining.... Because for how much i wanted to like it, to me this didn't make any sense.

@STRIKETOBURN1 thanks for your comment. This is actually a video experimental basically just for my own learning on vfx stuff. I got a title for this project which is 'loop', so the idea is to allow the video keep repeating endlessly. So inspired from my own life experience, I want to present this video as 'karma' for the message, which is basically if you do bad stuff to others and you will face something bad in the future.

what did you edit using Sony vegas in this video?

[anarki450]

@drumguitar101 i just used sony vegas for basic video editing, sounds and color correction

[drumguitar101]

@anarki450 i see.

what were the color correction settings?( if you can explain)

[anarki450]

@drumguitar101 added blue filter, desaturation, increase contrast. The color grading in this video is not really that good (basicly im still crap with color grading). You should look for professional digital colorists' demo online especially vimeo, they are really good. Mine was kinda overdid and don't look natural.

If you got the chance should try apple color on mac. Hope that helps

@anarki450 thanks , I have Sony Vegas and just looking around for advice on color correction. I like the video
