no 35mm yet! i'm really shooting for the edit (given economic restraints!). spot focus and vignetting give it the spark.

I meant to say it works. Meaning I like it.

Thanks Igor, extensive collection of videos you've got there.

I agree Igor!

Rule # 1.

A bunch of shots don't necessarily tell a story, or at least a coherent story.

Rule # 2.

Cool colour-grading does not equal art.


Rule # 3.

Less is not always more, particularly in this case.


All of the above - IMHO.

Take it for what is. I liked it, and apparently other people did as well. Constructive criticism come one, not everyone here is george lucas.

Thanks Michael, I really appreciate your comments. Igor, I invite you to take a look at the artbychance.org/ site. It's a great concept. I challenged myself to create an innovative, non-dialogue, artistic, fast-paced ultrashort with a fulcrum, and I think I did that.

It's sad to think you feel it's just colour-grading. If you engage with it, it's a careful selection of a lot of shots - along all axes - with different depths, in a very short space of time; with varying tones, and flashbacks in there, jpegs, apt transitions, a provocative NAT sound, and so on. All in 30secs. With a handycam. It's a lively experiment, and I like to think vimeo welcomes it!

I'm glad it provoked a response.
