Merci !
Sean Parsons 1 year ago

Gorgeous! Subtle and very cinematic. Great choice in "time of day" - parallels the "fading" event. We have similar aesthetic preferences, for sure! I am inspired. Thanks for the creation!
David Dang 1 year ago

Thx Sean !!! Nice to hear that !
Daniel Hestermann 1 year ago

Beautiful work!! what lenses did you use?
David Dang 1 year ago

Thx ! Mostly the 85mm f1.8
Tanner Hall 1 year ago

Wow. These are some of the best images I have seen from the video DSLRs. If you don't mind me asking, what sort of color correcting/grading did you do? I really like the aesthetic.
David Dang 1 year ago

Thx Tanner, I used Magic Bullet for color correction this is a wonderful plugin for FCP, Premiere...
Cesar Ramirez 1 year ago

Very cool David. Love the coloring

La photo est très belle et le focus très bon.
Bravo!
L'acteur principal est super. :)
David Dang 1 year ago

Merci Steph !
Alec Kinnear 1 year ago

Je suis tout à fait d'accord. Dan Bronchinson était superb la nana pas mal non plus. Son visage est si expressive, comme David Thewlis. A la fin, le plan 3/4 arrière me n'a pas beaucoup plus. On perdait l'acteur et le sentiment diminué. Peut-être le traine un peu à la fin (ou a besoin d'images plus fortes). Le grand plan bateau était tres beau, un bon accent.
Julien Taillez 1 year ago

chouettes acteurs (j'aurais bien vu un reflo pour déboucher son visage sur le premier plan où on la voit, un peu sombre)
David Dang 1 year ago

Merci Julien, effectivement je te rejoins mais je n'avais pas ça sous la main malheureusement :(
Julien Taillez 1 year ago

j'imagine que tu voulais rester discret aussi.
Thanh Long BACH 1 year ago

Très belle vidéo. Le shutter était bien supérieur à 1/50 par contre non ?
Aurélie LAUMONT 1 year ago

Très belle vidéo, très beau sujet et belle réalisation, bravo ! Très réussi...
Seul bémol me concernant c'est l'étalonnage que je ne trouve pas très cohérent ... mais les films sont faits pour avancer, et à en voir le résultat, tu as déjà parcouru un bon bout de chemin.
David Dang 1 year ago

Merci Aurélie.
Pour l'étalo j'ai longtemps hésité sur 2 étalos très différents, j'ai opté pour celui-ci car je trouvais que ça fonctionnait plus après on ne peut pas plaire à tout le monde :)
Benjamin Dowie 1 year ago

Absolutely beautiful. Very simple but very meaningful. Beautifully shot and edited.
David Dang 1 year ago

Thx Benjamin ! Nice that you love it !
Fabrys 1 year ago

Bravo l'émotion est la... et les acteurs sont très bien.
Pour ma part, j'aime bien l'étalonnage, le sujet est triste les couleurs froides collent assez bien...
Et le petit effet dans les cendres à la fin...
David Dang 1 year ago

Merci Fabrys j'ai voulu être dans l'émotion sans pencher vers le larmoyant ou le cliché ce qui reste difficile.
Emmanuel Pampuri 1 year ago

Joli !

Merci Emmanuel !
Daniel Hestermann 1 year ago

Do you remember what Fstop that you use on the 85mm 1.8? I'm impressed with the sharpness of some shots!
David Dang 1 year ago

It depends on the shots but I was between 1.8 and 4
DaVincicode 1 year ago

Nice job David! Nice performances from your actors too. Along with the right choice of music. What really struck me is the 85m depth of field on the 5D Mark II. Its looks so good on here. Makes the 5D Mark II stand out. But it really comes down to what you are shooting. Which is why I liked Ashes.
David Dang 1 year ago

Thanks a lot Davincicode :)
Afrodite Xig 1 year ago

Michael Palacios 1 year ago

This was great, A lot of emotion captured! The face in the ashes was a great touch.
David Dang 1 year ago

Thx Michael, the face into the ashes I want it very light in order not to be cliché
Audrius Žilinskas 1 year ago

Oh though it was briliant :) big aplause to the actors and of course to the creator as well ;) , showed everything as it was in real life, real feelings, real story. Keep going.
David Dang 1 year ago

Thx Audrius that was my 3rd short film, next one will be a Jason Bourne like !!!

David Dang 1 year ago

Watch it and share it :) ! This movie will be sent to festivals so i need to remove it from here soon
Derek Lawrey 1 year ago

This was nice and very well done...

I can spot Magic bullet a mile away, and it was 2 minutes too long...

But I like the kind of twitchy editing style...
David Dang 1 year ago

Thanks Derek, that was a kind of rought edit for festivals it will be better :)
Zenith Cinematography 1 year ago

Its a great short, great!
Perhaps Derek is right on the timing, and its a tad too long. But very well done. Love it. And the actors too, specially the guy
Nick Coamey 1 year ago

This was really awesome. I really liked it a lot. The music was gripping as well. The only thing I didn't like was the woman's face at the end. It looked a little awkward and seemed like something that felt a lot better in your head.
Other wise. Good work. Keep it up
David Dang 1 year ago

Thx Nick for the face at the end, I wand it very light so as to avoid cliché but you still don't like it ;)
Ivan Lecou 1 year ago

Loomax 1 year ago

Simple et efficace. Bravo
Je me permet juste une petite critique : au début, la vitesse du shutter semble assez élevée. Je trouve ça dommage pour faire passer de la douceur. C'est plus adapté aux scènes d'action.
David Dang 1 year ago

Merci Loomax, cet effet est voulu justement pour donner un côté brut !
Loomax 1 year ago

Ben si c'est un partit pris alors, je comprends :)
Je peux te demander quel stabilisateur tu as utilisé ?

A great story teller doesn't even have to use words. The pain on Dan's face (lead) was so heartbreaking! Great acting and choice of shots.

Looking forward to seeing more from you!
