fuzzynormal Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 We're still heavily tweaking the mix and grade, edit... you know, stuff, but here's a close to finish draft for any of you chuckleheads that want a sneakpeek of M43 doing B&W stuff. Everything was shot at f2.8 on three lenses. Two primes, 24mm and 50mm, from the old Pentax Auto110 series, and the Oly 12-40 Pro. I had fun with it. We didn't do much fancy shooting 'cuz it was all one set and we wanted to emulate a 30's movie, but that was part of the joy of it all. Oh, GH5 and a EM10iii. 23.96 fps @25ss. ISO 800, mostly. What else? FilmConvertPro using their Ilford400 setting. Also (god help me never again) RedGiant's misfire plugin and universe transitions. So, look, small indy films involve a ridiculous amount of compromises along the way just to get made. It's a small miracle it happened, warts and all. Believe me, I pretty much only see the warts at this point. Hooray! Filmmaking!

Emanuel Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 WOW Many Congrats! I am delighted! Top outcome < 3 I'd love to distribute it... : ) No film festivals? BTW did you close your funding campaign already? I've handled more than one hundred successful crowdfunding campaigns crossing different countries and distinct platforms worldwide so far, you know? :- ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just started submitting yesterday. We are in one local fest that happens in March. So we'll see how all that goes. Fundraising is still open, hopefully, to alleviate the damage to our credit cards: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-wrap-the-gift-for-all-ages-film If you have any other questions you'd like answered, drop me a DM. And again, thanks for the compliments. Emanuel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the ExProd's background is in set building, so he really loved helping on that part of it. But, truth be told, we cut a ton of corners when it came to authenticity. Made do with a lot of compromises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzynormal Posted February 21, 2022 Author Share Posted February 21, 2022 One of the funnest, coolest, and most useful tools we found for getting our lenses and camera ready was using the free app of BLENDER for pre-visualization. Honestly, we tried a bunch of "pro" solutions to create pre-viz and storyboards, but nothing was as effective (and obviously as affordable) as BLENDER. Here's an example of one of our master shots compared to the final result. Audio was taken from our initial video conference call/table read: Special thanks to Jacob Zirkle for the tutorial allowing us to be much more practical with this simple and creative solution.
