very good directing, very good orerating, very good playing... to be short: very good film! a like it!
several questions:
what camera did you use?
did you use several cameras in one scene?
did you use a crane?
how much time did it take?
Huy Vu 1 year ago

Hi, we shot over a period of two weeks, averaging 6-8 hours per day. Editing took another two weeks. It was shot on a single Canon XH-A1 with Letus Extreme adapter. The Kessler crane was used in one scene.

Hi huy vu, I have a question.

Hi, we used the Oktava MK012 with the hypercardioid cap for the interior and an Audio-Technica 4073a shotgun for the exterior.

really like, did you shoot 24p? sd

the main character is a really good actress *edit* an amazing actress, so natural, very impressive

WIth regards to the music did you have to get permission or is that only if you are selling as a dvd?
Huy Vu 10 months ago

I shot 24F, HD, then downrezz to SD. With a 33 minutes running time it just wasn't possible to do an HD version and stay within 500 mb.

The majority of the music I paid to have composed specifically for the film so I have full rights with regards to those; the song "Self-Destruction" was written and performed by my friends. We just did a simple recording session with them and it came out great.

Music composed for your film, thats impressive, and must of been alot of work to get the right tone for the scene. I take my hat of to you, I have no idea how much hard work is involved in making a film like this,but I bet its rewarding, have you put it into any festivals yet?
