    This looks like Hollywood-quality filmmaking.
    'Almost zero budget?' And 'they' said it couldn't be done. Inspiring!!!

    What a great project you have undertaken! Am I to understand this is a "one woman" operation? Wow!

    Sounds like there could be a story there as well. I better go find that blog.

    I am envious. Thirty years ago I was the fast guy in town. Now I stand in bars on the weekends watching life go by. I see no one like me. In my head are screenplays swirling around lost in the past. In the intervening years I picked up wrenches, cameras, put the pen to paper only to end up standing in the bar - remembering the best of days.

    So do a great job. Provide me with entertainment like the bars can never do. It sure would be nice to be standing in there with a nice big smile on my face. :-)

    Un pincement au coeur que vous m'oubliez un peu, que vous oubliez le site GatsbyOnline.com qui vous a poussé, un peu, d'Europe..., mais au vu de vos "teaser"..., ce n'est rien.
    Une Star nait... et si vous ne vous sentez pas l'être encore, croyez un vieux Hot-Rodder Européen, vous le devenez...
    Amicalement, un baiser d'outre-Atlantique...

    This looks phenomenal. I love it. And reading your bio sparked a flash of recognition. You sound so much like me, in your obsession with tackling filmmaking as a holistic art form--I can't imagine just passing the creative reins over to someone else. Then you're just a middle manager aren't you? You're approaching this like an artist. And the results look astonishingly beautiful. I can't wait to see the film.
  • Faith Granger plus 2 years ago
    Sean, a man after my own heart. You got it. All the suffering is SO WELL WORTH IT. And when it is all done I can say:

    "I did it myyyyyy way!:

    I can imagine there's a toll on one's health. I find short films almost slay me, so shooting every weekend like that for 3 years? Uh...I'd need an organ transplant. You gotta take care too eh?

    great trailer, the quality is really stunning. what kind of camera set up did you use?
  • Faith Granger plus 2 years ago
    Honestly, the lighting, settings, subject matter, acting and camera moves all contribute to the beauty of the shots. So it's not the camera or equipment used alone, that's only part of it. But to answer that question, I use the HVX200 Panasonic with 35 mm adapter and Nikkon prime lenses. Note that the choice of lenses is primordial to the look of each shot, too.
