Starring Philip and Arnie Bloom

This film actually does have a narrative to it.

It is about my father and I. Both of us have visited this magical please separately many times but never together. The way it jumped cut between us emphasized this. Only in the end shot do we come together and then go back to our separate lives. It shows how similar we are but how we have grown apart through distance and only by making an effort can we maintain our bond...

im a bit camera shy to do that

What program did you use to colour grade?
Philip Bloom 8 months ago

magic bullet looks, says it at end
Philip Bloom 8 months ago

am making a video showing how I did the grade. check out philipbloom.co.uk in next few days to see it
i say 8 months ago

Thanks Philip :) Will keep a lookout for the update.

How do you think FCP colour grading options compare to magic bullet?
Philip Bloom 8 months ago

you can do a lot with the basic plug ins, but Magic Bullet Looks and Magic Bullet Quick Looks can add so much...I put my reputation on line with that, so much so that I have convinced Redgiant to give visitors to my website 20% off if they buy with the code from it. Everyone should have it. It's awesome!
i say 8 months ago

Great! Thanks for taking time to reply to my post :)

I think I will have to look into magic bullet too.
Matthew Pugerude 8 months ago

Philip nice job! I like how you used the song to motivate your editing. If people want to call them jump cuts then fine. In my opinion your cuts were perfect for the song. if it was done any other way then it would not fit for that song.

I would also like to echo two other posts.
1. Ashley Harrison love the new style of editing it is not like your other films.

2. Tom Guilmette
love that cine saddle.

Cheers!

Very interesting how different the takes on the same place can be.
Indeed it is quite different from your other films.

Quick question Phill,
as a user of both, brevis or CineMek?
thanks!

rickflick 8 months ago

Hmmmm...not too many people noticed this! 8-)

Super technology and artful effect. In hopes of providing something helpful in the way of critique, I just observe that the characters did not seem to relate in any way noticeable. Perhaps something to show they are brothers or friends and shared time in this intriguing spot.
That said, I'll just watch it again and try not to drool so much this time.
Philip Bloom 8 months ago

the idea was to show how this is a place both myself and my dad have visited at different times in our lives. We come together in the end and go our separate ways.
john herr 8 months ago

Great plasticity. I like the way you changed the shapes and forms. Including giving us differing views of the guys in this cool looking environment!

Great job! I wish we could see these types of video in the main stream.

it's an amazing location!
Keith Rivers 8 months ago

Mr. Bloom, you know that shots are great, and I love the cuts (you know you can tell a lot about a man by the way he cuts), but the storyline is a little too artsy for my taste. I'd love to watch your shooting on a seriously well-narrated story.
Philip Bloom 8 months ago

first time have done something so artsy!!
Berislav Petrovic 8 months ago

Great job again Phillip.

How did you enjoy using the Cinemek vs The Letus? Very different price points if i'm not mistaken.

I hope your aren't obligated to say one or the other ;)

Best
Philip Bloom 8 months ago

they are very different Claudio. Like different film stocks. Am lucky that I have both. The Letus has a flip and is more sensitive in low light. The cinemek has a wicked film look.
claudio manni 8 months ago

Cheers Phillip. Thanks for the response.
Kevin Andrews 8 months ago

Very nice short! Well done. That is quite the missile you're shooting with there ; ) Hope to see you around NAB next week.

I appreciate you taking the time to put the "Looks" tutorial together. Quite helpful. I will be showing Return to Dungeness to my high school digital film production students tomorrow...and them asking them to identify the "story." Should be interesting...

Philip Bloom 7 months ago

what do you mean?
sonu2c 7 months ago

it is just cinemek g35 nothing else attached to it.
andy n 4 months ago

pretty sure none of those shots were with the stock lens. yes I believe bloom uses nikon and ziess primes. the cinemek is a 35mm adapter not a standalone add-on lens.

I am editing movies for some years now and youre cuts are in time synched and have a narrative element so they are fine :) the music in my opinion Is a bit too cool and heavy in the beginning - but this is artist freedom + message :)

Hi!
I got this when I saw it. It was about you and your Pop. The grading. I was waiting for you guys to strap in on a gas tanker and road warrior it down the highway. But who is the dude shooting you with the xdcam?
