Internet screening of my new film.

Greetings all.
Yes, it's digital. For my film class I was not allowed to shoot on film.

Well, I thought I stumbled upon something familiar!

Out of the many final projects screened for Lisha's class, I think this one was one of the better-crafted... not to mention refreshing considering all the music videos present. The cat would have looked more convincing if even its arms moved, but it looked like a stuffed animal being thrown around most of the time.

I like the cinemascope; nice to know I'm not the only one who uses it.

One question I forgot to ask, though, is do you actually speak Spanish, or did you have a translator?

I don't really speak much spanish. My mother-in-law, however, is from Equador. She helped with the translation.

Thanks!

..I like the stylized video look and sound design and costumes. How did you do that? did you add grain in post? record sound on a sound stage?

nice work.

Thanks.
I shot with an anamorphic lens over the taking lens, which I think added some diffusion. Beyond that , it's just what my little Panasonic GS65 picked up ( a $500 3chip miniDV camera). I tried to use smoke machines and spray diffusion for all interior shots. So, no grain or anything in post. Actually, I think the grain you see on the web page version is actually the compression I used! If you are intrested, download the less compressed version. The sound was also just what the camera mic picked up. I added a little echo and band filter here and there. I wish I could have made better costumes. I just bought masks off e-bay, and used long underwear and boxershorts. Hats were from thrift stores.
