Fantastic. Acting, production, post. Looks like the HV20 does well with a faster shutter than 48.

Ayz, the composition, flow, and cinematography are simply amazing!
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

You wouldn't happen to be a hollywood producer with tons of access to funding, would you? ;)

Thanks Kyle.
Kyle Shields 3 years ago

Haha, I wish. I would be filming my WWII short right now if I had the cash for the props, etc. Unfortunately, I only get minimum wage working for a grocer. But thankfully , I have a friend who's helping me buy the props.
Kurt Zhuang 3 years ago

fantastic. you were right about the music. its great.
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

thanks man. Props go to Casey (3PM).
Glenn (aka Avene) 3 years ago

Oh yeah, very well done! I'd been looking forward to this since the trailer, and it didn't disappoint :)
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

that's a big relief man. All I see are flaws now.
Glenn (aka Avene) 3 years ago

That's normal when viewing your own work, but as they say, you learn from your mistakes. Still, I couldn't find any flaws myself, and judging by the positive comments you've received, I don't think too many other people have noticed any either. They're probably all in awe that you shot it on a HV20!
ITD FILMS (Stephen Dodsworth) 3 years ago

Yeah fantastic mood. I would def watch/purachse if you ever get chance to make full length movie. But about the comments above...We all do tend to critique our work and see the flaws that others never notice. Hey, "you learn from your mistakes" God bless !
Charlie McCarthy 3 years ago

Incredible work Ayz!
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Thanks Charlie. Appreciate that.
Tõnis Liivamägi 3 years ago

Fantastic!!
How were those creep zooms done? Just slow zoom setting on the HV20 or dolly-in?
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

the hv20 zoom, and couple done in post.

thanks.
Michael Brodner AKA Bones 3 years ago

What are "creep zooms?"
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

those very subliminal push in's...

I think. First time I've heard the term myself. lol
Joshua Parker 3 years ago

Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

awesome. :)
Dan Huston 3 years ago

Whoa!!!
What an utterly fantastic ride! Shot beautifully, acted bravely and not to sound pretentious - poetic. I was moved. I am so glad I bumped into Karen's comment on this so I could watch.
I'm going to send this to many friends that act as well - great flim making. Congratulations - I'm subscribing.
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Thanks Dan! I appreciate that.

Amazing DOP

Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Thanks Frederic. Very nice to get a comment on DOP side of things. Still feeling my way around there.
FINKMAG 3 years ago

I now pronounce you the hv20 king.. lol

later dude stjames
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

I'll take that. ;)
Tulaga Whitcombe 2 years ago

I second that! Question though... The sound? how? mics onset or post production. Redoing the whole sound track(voiceovers...etc)?
Ayz Waraich 2 years ago

Boom Mic on set. The dialogue is 99% from the location.

And thanks!
loonachic 3 years ago

most excellent! this was fantastic all the way through.
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Thanks man.
Michael Brodner AKA Bones 3 years ago

Wow, you blew me away with this, man. Awesome awesome awesome dialogue and I f**cking LOVE the camera work and choice of shots. The colors are also very raw and unsettling which is perfect for the mood.

I would love to know more about the process of how you made this film. Can you grace us with some behind the scenes stuff?

Can't wait to get home and throw this on my Apple TV!
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Thanks Michael. Glad you enjoyed it.

I don't really enjoy talking about the process, since i'm not even ever sure what it is. Always seems like Neta and I organize a bunch of people and we shoot a movie... If you have any specfic questions feel free to message me, and I'll see if I can answer what I can.

But yeah, you're spot on about raw and unsettling look. That was very intentional. I did a bunch of tests to see how I could really destroy some of the detail and definition in the HDV image, but keep the sharpness. It's very moody -- since I wanted it to feel very evocative of what those two guys were going through.

Thanks again dude.
Michael Brodner AKA Bones 3 years ago

Thanks for the info Ayz. One last question and I'll shut up:)

Did you shoot this is order, and how many days/weeks was shooting?
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Np at all Michael.

We shot 3 days.

The End scene inside the store was the first. The next day we shot the hallway dialogue scene for a few hours, and then a day or so later we shot the chase scene.

The hardest part was getting everyone's schedules to line up, since everyone was doing this in their spare time in between paying bills and life stuff.
Danielle 3 years ago

Fantastic!!!!! I'm so glad I found this and you!
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

thank ya.

Thanks man!
popguru 3 years ago

Ayz...AMAZING, AMAZING, AMAZING SHORT FILM! It's at the top of my all time list. The screenplay is flawless IMO. Dialog was so natural and the story flowed perfectly.

I know you worked long and hard on that score, it shows! I might have to email you to talk about how you went about recording your sound.

Again man, can't say it enough, I loved this film!

PS. Where are your actors from?
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Thanks man haha. Very cool to see you loved it.

Feel free to email me. I'm around doing some writing today.
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

oh and the actors... sama's my brother, and Bass is his best friend since they were kids. We all grew up shooting stuff together.

Just prior to this short they both became serious about acting, so it was nice timing.
Ian-T 3 years ago

Wow....I'm speechless... I think I'll just echo what everyone else here had to say with one addition...

I'll give you ...hmmm...about a year.... if that... before we all start seeing your stuff on the "Big Screen"...cause you got some serious talent. Just don't forget us little people.

WATCH OUT HOLLYWOOD!!!
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Oh how I wish you were a prophet. ;)

Thanks Ian.
Ian-T 3 years ago

Oh but I am....believe that...

dude. you just threw me a curveball as far as my replies are concerned.

umm. i'll stay silent too then. :)
Höskuldur Eyjólfsson 3 years ago

Nice, very nice. Very good work dude.
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

Thank you.
FINKMAG 3 years ago

That guy is right about the big screen for you guy..

See, the key to any craft is knowing how to produce million dollar results with spending little to know money. LOL..

You are truly a viable director now because you have proved that you know the tricks of the trade and can deliver without the need of others who may not believe in your capabilities or vision as much as you.

I and others love your work because we can see innovation, ingenuity and a persistence in it. You have just proven to the world that it truly is all about the artists and his or hers creative ability to create something from nothing, rather than how expensive the tools are..

I say again, good work man.. and from a fellow innovator.. Thank you for getting it right..

Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

that's a great compliment. Thanks James.
Tizzy 3 years ago

Fantastic stuff... though I have a script that deals with some very similar elements (feature length) that I have been bopping around for a few years now. So if by chance I make it, please don't think I jacked your ideas.. if anything, it can be called homage ;)
Ayz Waraich 3 years ago

haha, you'll have to beat me to it. Since I have a similar feature script with even more similar "similar elements".

Worse comes to worse we just duke it out. ;)

Thanks Tizzy.
