Nice footage, David. I particularly like the part where she opens her eye. Soft, cold and..... it makes me want to see this film. And in the shot from the side where you can see both of them, I enjoy details like the greens in the lamp on the wall far back on the building on the other side of the road. You should cut a trailer soon!

looks great, david!!!!
can't wait to see the rest....

very cool david. especially love the title font at the end.

very nice. i like the green lights too

That font... is the "Birth" font, right? What's the name of it?

It's Edwardian Script - I use it for just about everything graphical on this site (I like to decay it slightly). I ususally keep the titles for my films in the Helvetica family, but I think I'll be making an exception with this one.

One suggestion. When you do your final color timing, take that yellow rim on the side of his head down a touch. It comes off as a little harsh for an exterior light in a parking lot.

I actually pushed it up a little bit for this online clip, going for that intensely sodium-vapor Jean Yves Escoffier look. Whenever the whole film is timed, after it's been edited, I'll make sure any such extremes work contextually.

So has the VISION2 500T been a good stock to your film? How is the rest of the results? Any grain issues at all?

I loved it. It worked really well in low light (we shot one exterior at dusk, after the sun had already disappeared behind the horizon, and got a perfect exposure). We actually shot half of the movie on Fuji Eterna500, and that had even less grain than the Vision2 (the fotoage in this clip is from the Fuji, for the record). There will be one scene where the stock changes halfway through, so it'll be interesting to see if anyone notices.

I bet I do.

If you, like, superimpose the word 'NOW!' on screen for a couple of, you know, seconds. In big, white letters.

If you're still down with giving the construction of the film a shot, you're more than welcome to make that superimposition yourself - although I won't tell you if you're right or not.

I'm more than up for it. I'm awaiting the opportunity with great fervour.

Nice clip. The music's desultory. Is it yours?

It's from a friends' band, called The Theater Fire (the drummer of which, incidentally, was also the cinematographer on this film). This clip is the tail-end of a scene in which the two characters sit in a car, listening to songs on the radio. It's a long, long scene.
