1. The Wait is So, So Long
3 years ago
A short film I completed in December 2008. Probably the last of what I would call my "basic" age of filmmaking. Made for film school applications, didn't go so well. However, it did fill up my resume with film festivals and awards. I'm a bit embarrassed about this floating around, but I guess it'd be nice for people to see where I've ended up over the years.

I personally didn't work on the narration, but it's basically just microphone recording with bass boost.
I didn't record them personally, but my friend says he owns a Rode NT1A and a SM58 but doesn't remember which one he used.
Thanks again for the comment.
You took bits of lines and just showed us what they literally are
For example: He talks about growing and being 5'4" and you show a ruler that says "here" at 5'4". Honestly, I can see that in my head and if you're going to make an artistic film based on a video you should do something artful. Not just take everything literally. I couldn't find a shot that represented everything this poem stood for, only a collection of shallow shots based on each line. Also, it's not your story so it seems like you didn't put much work into it.
Only good thing is the video and audio quality looked were good.
what camera were you using?
But yeah, I did take everything literally, and I could have found more creative ways to do all of them. This was a quickie to occupy my time and I really did not put much work into it. I wish I did it differently but, what's done is done and it's received a much higher amount of praise than I expected it to, so I'm not complaining.
Shot on HV20 btw. Thanks for the comment.
I think you have a lot of potential, Ryan.
:D
