Porphyria's Lover (A Heart's Endeavor)

A modern take on the poem Porphyria's Lover by Robert Browning. This is the first cut. Second cut is done, but isn't really different enough for me to upload again. It's about 40 seconds shorter.

can you shoot in 2.35:1 with the hpx 170?

@Deadmeatproductions Unfortunately, you cannot, it only does HDTV widescreen, which I believe is 1.78:1 or so. Final cut has an aspect ratio filter you can throw on top to get that "look" but I'm pretty sure you can only get that with anamorphic film.

You tell a good story Mr. Fong

Thank you very much, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

It made me laugh to see you calling me Mr. Fong. I know that's the user name but it's not my real name. I don't know. Just gave me a chuckle.

Captured the poem beautifully, well done.

Thank you very much! Not many people have read the poem that I have shown the movie to, so I am glad you could make the connection.

Ah, I've always loved Browning's work. I read "My Last Duchess" a few years back in an intro course at university and loved it, then when I read porphyria's lover I was floor. I have it committed to memory and to this say still love to read it.
