    you go to AIP?
  • Mothlight Creative plus 2 years ago
    No, just moved here from Chicago.
  • Michael Giacometti 2 years ago
    wait.....you guys are from Chicago?! AND just moved away? That's unpossible! I didn't think anyone left. :D
  • Mothlight Creative plus 2 years ago
    Not "from," spent the last five years there. It's true... most never leave.

    Can u teach me how to do that??
    Or maybe redirecting me to some website.
    Thanks.
    Ciao!
  • Mothlight Creative plus 2 years ago
    The technique here is ultra simple. Just take constant pictures with the dslr and color-correct it in AE.
  • Mansoor 2 years ago

  • rickflick 2 years ago
    I like this very much. Just a note of constructive critisism - the puppy and little girl seemed out of place in the otherwise surreal and otherworldly effects.
  • Mothlight Creative plus 2 years ago
    thanks for the feedback. to me this piece is about days that feel like memories as they're happening, which is why I liked those moments. thanks for liking it!

    That is sweet sir.
    Did you do anything in particular with the shot of you(?) walking the street from 00:06? It seems like your walking through a set piece where people live. I've never seen that expressed so clearly before..
  •  
  • Esben Blaakilde 2 years ago
    Oh yeah, lemme ad a question more: What is the framerate you're using?

  • Brennan L. 2 years ago
    It's funny, I've been running around with a rebel for a while now, and I think I've always wanted to make something like this, but they have never turned out.

    Deeply inspiring.

    And, since I'll probably be buying the new 500D (Rebel T1i) with HD video...

    Love it, man.
