CSN - Poor man's process - Green Screen

Kalen directed this green screen scene last semester for his movie "Anonymous Heroes" (for Vid 2.)Larry Marx donated the car. Carla and Chris are the loving couple out for the night and the cabbie is Roman. Mike did the art direction and Mike Edmonds was the DP, Matt Z was operator for a-cam and Cesar did the b-cam inserts.

Tom and Jordan were lying on the floor of the cab, hand-holding shotgun microphones.

This came out pretty close to the grungy seventies, artificial poor man's process look that we wanted to create. Mike Edmonds goes for that 16mm, NYC look, so that is what is being suggested. BTW - See "Black Tight Killers" on another post if you want to see what we we're emulating. That film is Sejun Suzuki low-budget craft at it's "finest."

I really like this - if you can't afford car mounts nor compete with high end CGI, you might as well do this funky style and simply cop to making a film. Realism is dead, long live poor man's process.

One final note: That is Eddie playing a restaurant patron in the small clip at the end of this green screen clip. He's talking to the producer, Chelsea Sedoti, who can be seen in a vid 2 promo in another clip posted here.

Oh yah, btw, I was very shocked/pleasently surprised to see Chris in that!

[zen99]

Yes, Chris is looking very dignified in his suit. Carla is very "uptown."

[KelDC]

That was freaking sweet! I love that grungy film noir-esque-ness (new word I made up) it portrayed. Screw modern CGI, I dig this 70's style! Great keying on the green screen. HD??

[zen99]

Yes. HD. JVC 720p camera.

[zen99]

[LABRAVA]

[LABRAVA]

The long one. I forgot to mention green screens. And by green screen I dont mean chronicles of narnia. I mean this.

[zen99]

by 'bad ass' do you mean the long answer you posted previously, or simply that it's 'cool.'

[LABRAVA]
