So lovely dog. This dog have the carisme to play in a film. hehe nice

well done! I voted for you guys

brilliant film. I am totally impressed with the production values- fantastic cinematography and production design. I love the way that the beauty of the mise en scene is in total juxtaposition to the macabre nature of the story. Too bad you all had to premier this on the crappy you tube! Glad you have it here in HD. It looks divine.

Ah great! Some beautiful bokeh in those shots! Mind if I ask what camera and if you used an adapter?

ya that was AWESOME

Awesome job, Chris. The cinematography is phenomenal. Great acting, too. I'll bet a little work on the field audio and post mix would have gotten you a first place. Nonna saying "It's poopin' all over" is a little hard to hear and that kind of sets up the motivation for the doggie murder.

very nice! definitely a lot better in HD on vimeo than youtube. huge difference in quality! great job!

very cool. love the lack of depth of field and agree with eric, the bokeh looks yummy.

Exceptional work.

Loved it

awesome!

Wow! I loved it. How did you come across the music. I loved how it worked with the scenes.

Nice work!

But I can see the reflection of the cameraman at 4m01s :-)

This was amazing! Great cinematography and that grandma is priceless!!

ROTFLOL!!
I-a grew-a up on Long Island, and we had neighbors like that!!

Fascinating. The grandmother and granddaughter were well-cast. Of course, the dog outshone all the other actors in the clip. Nice work.

oh man... i saw this movie on youtube an really hoped to see it in better qualaty...its absolutely awesome in hd... i really love this.... btw... the girl is very handsome...

my favorite scene was definitly when the grandmother was buying the gun off the "huckster"!

that was beautiful. The dof was great, colors were vivid! What camera did you use for this? Also did you use a 35mm adapter?

haha that was great!

And you're right -- that looks stunning in HD!

ugh SOOO good... :-)

ha, very funny.

jon, steve and, matt loved your film. smooth camera shots. same with the lighting

the pictures and light it's very good...

wow Chris great to show our students all about shallow DOF! See it back with comments on our Vimeo/GlobalDVC channel if you don't mind

the rebel flags on the end table at :40 seconds are great! How did they make it in the scene? Was this shot in Georgia (or anywhere in the South for that matter).

The Depth of Field was beautiful.

Best video seen here so far!

mind blowing (facemelting in HD)

What was this exported as? What did you use to compress it? It looks really good and I want this quality on my site.

my god. every time i watch this film i love it more and more. <3 xx

Good stuff. The lighting is great, and the use of DOF is nice as well. Can't wait to see more!

Nice job,

Gotta love those italian grandmas!

Brilliant - great acting and filming work!

beautiful visuals

This is an artistic movie. In my opinion it is almost perfect. Why? Just because the dog cannot fly. And if it could fly it would not stay as a hummingbird in front of all that weapons waiting to be killed. I think to be more realistic the girl must point the guns to the flor where the dog was siting. And the camera must be around the flor shooting upward. The director can say she was just thinking about kill not trying to kill, but in the movie the result would be better with the weapons pointing down in the dog direction. Just a detail among all amazing features.

Saw this on youtube a while back. Amazing job, and congrats with the second place.

That was great - but I wasn't sure why they were trying to kill the dog!

Questa ragazza mi è antipatica.
Sono stanca di tutte queste cose...

lol

W gli italiani !!! :P

That was both beautiful and adorable and I've watched it many times now, but the conclusion doesn't make any sense.

Great stuff. What is your audio set up?

well. we pretty much had only one boom mic for every scene we shot. There was some foley audio added in here and there. And the music was from Soundtrack Pro in apple's final cut studio. It was all scored in Soundtrack Pro.

Great! Very nice photography and directing. Awesome quality and colours! I like the (I dont know how to say) SLOPE charakters (I'm mean they are all a little crazy) - nice acting. But I'm not sure.....did they try to shot the neighbor himself or what was the clou?
Because the dog is all the time with them...isn't it? *whistle* :D

yes 00.39 is something :) :)

this is why vimeo is my favorite new community.

great job i likes it a lot. that conversation between the grandma and the huckster was a great source of lols.

00:39 = im started to laughing
05:16 = i stopped laughing.

that was absolutely awesome.

what kind of microphone did you use? Especially in the scene with the black man and the white car, selling guns. I am interested in sound in movies on vimeo.

really good this piece.

The italian nonna buying guns, the cute actress (looks like julieta venegas) la parla italiana, etc...

Really really like it.

Hahaha! Awesome film, really fun to watch :)

The picture, angles, actors and the whole heep was really good.

But next time, borrow some wireless microphones to put on the actors. (thinking about the scene with the gun seller and the neighbor) They do wonders, trust me.

And watch the angles when you have mirrors in the scene (Nonna buying weapons, you could see the camera in her glasses. But shit happens ;) )

If I ever need a gun, I know where to get one cheap. You're a bad salesman dude ^^,

The black dude sounds like Will Smith.

Fun stuff, great film!

Saw this on youtube a while ago and I loved this short. Glad to see it here.

Cute story. I missed the part where the dog is actually dispatched. I guess I'll have to watch it again.
Nice job.

VERY VERY VERY nice, just like the imagery alone told the story, im a fan

Hozay is a GREAT character.

This is a fantastic short - the casting is excellent and the video is gorgeous in HD. Well done!
