amokalex Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Hi guys, Thought I'd share this fairly mental short film we shot last week. [url=http://vimeo.com/39160354]The Boss[/url] Lenses used: Voigtlander 25mm 0.95, Canon FD 50mm 1.4 and 85mm 1.8. Using the Flowmotion hack, but not sure it actually worked as bitrates were around the standard level. Always check the patch has worked before heading out! All of the effects were done in camera. Hope you guys enjoy - ask any questions you want . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myxomatosis Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 I really enjoyed this short. A great approach, really stylish. How long did it take you to complete? Are you entering it into any festivals / comps? So, you don't know if the hack worked? Have you used any other hacks? What made you choose the Flow Motion? Also, what profiles and settings did you use in camera for the shoot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axel Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 A big fun to watch, and a great achievement artistically. I say WOW! On vimeo you wrote: "[i]It was hacked, but when I got the footage back I realised the particular patch I'd applied hadn't worked! So in the end it was actually shot with the standard 50p bit rate."[/i] So you did this with 720p! If somebody should miss a proof that the Lumix made first rate quality without any hack ... Or an answer to those who think a film would need higher resolution to transcend it's message ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shot it in 2 days, and with a pretty insanely fast schedule, start to finish 3 weeks (ie first script to final cut). It's entered into the Reed film fest for which we've now been shortlisted - get over to the website http://www.reed.co.uk/film/2012/film-competition-shortlist if you fancy voting; doesn't take a second. £10k up for grabs so fingers crossed. We're also in the Virgin Media Short comp so we'll see how we go with that one . . . Also had an article done here: http://www.meliesandco.com/index.php?version=EN which has some more info on the film. Cheers Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
