One day I got an email, an sms, a phone call, a Facebook message and two tweets all within about 5 seconds of one another. This video is a re-manifestation of my brain's interpretation of that event. #trustory

Direction + Editing + Music Creation = Chris
Cinematographer = Pierce Cook

Shot on RED
All sounds sampled on ZoomH4N, then composed in Logic + Reason4
Edited in FCPX

Oh, and you can enjoy this as an iPhone ringtone if you'd like!
Version 1 - bit.ly/ziVYLC
Version 2 - bit.ly/yVb6CG

Enjoy.

    The hipster in me wants to laugh at the last shot of the short, where he tosses an empty iPhone case, as if to say "this style is so dead. naked phones are the new otter boxes. time to go make a retro text tone with garageband to switch up my sound". Awesome editing.
  • Chris Crutchfield plus 3 weeks ago
    haha, thanks... and good eye! and the hipster in me has already taken the glass off of my phone, just the guts and circuit boards now. Guts are the new black.

    Sharp & Clean. Were the computer screen shots used straight from the RED camera or did you have to edit those in post?
  • Pierce Cook plus 3 weeks ago
    Everything was from the RED, but to get the number counts high Chris took it into After Effects and did a little manipulation.

    He has a lot of facebook friends, but coordinating that on short notice could have been difficult. :)

    I've been really enjoying it actually. Edited this in 4K and did a wee bit of compositing right in FCPX and never had to timeline render or deal with stuttery playback.

  • Gustav Images plus 2 weeks ago
    Nice haircut !
    And before that, very nice video...there is just a detail which catch my eye...there is a lot of noise on the door when it's large view of the house...why ?
  • Chris Crutchfield plus 2 weeks ago
    haha. its funny bc the cinematographer didn't want me to use that shot because of the noise in it, and I insisted on it, claiming that no one would likely notice. Apparently people do notice. The shot it noisy because we were losing sunlight when shooting that shot and we had to ISO up fairly high.
  • Pierce Cook plus 2 weeks ago
    Hahahaha... yes. Chris and I talked about this. The original RED sensor was rated at 320ISO. We shot that frame right before sunset, and also cropped in during post, on top of him bumping it up to somewhere between 500 and 800ISO. Noise galore.

    I"ll be getting my Epic here shortly.
  • Gustav Images plus 2 weeks ago
    Thank you for your answers Chris and Pierce...I can understand now...and dont worry I think that a large majority of people who have watching this video didnt notice this detail...because to be honnest, that is just a detail !
  • Pierce Cook plus 2 weeks ago
    Would you delete that comment and say how unprofessional it looks to have bad noise, so I can have more leeway with Chris next time we get into a similar discussion? :D Pleaaaase.
