Yo estaba esperandome y ahorrando pa comprar la D90 o la D300 que tienen HD tambèn, porque prefiero la óptica de Nikon, pero la neta la calidad de este sí me sorprendió mucho. Ademàs, ya te lo dije: es el mejor trabajo que te he visto, como que hace que me den ganas de volver a hacer algo de cine (o video pensando en cine, pues) y aventarme a rodar algo que tengo en mente desde hace tiempo.. ya se verá. Por lo pronto, felicidades man, està de huevotes.
CHEMI 1 year ago

hey.. yo me compre la D90.. mas que nada porque no me alcanzaba para la 5D, y si, con un buen lente nikon la calidad es excelente. estoy subiendo algunas pruebas que he hecho. la onda es que todos los rigs y accesorios los etsan desarrollando para as canon y a las nikon como que no les hacen mucho caso. debo decir que la 5D, es 1080 y su firmware es superior al de NIKON, pero bueno.. es mi opinion.... otra vez... excelente trabajo... sobretodo sustentdo en un muy buen y sencillo guión.
Alejandro Voorduin 1 year ago

Estoy de acuerdo, el video no es el fuerte de Nikon. Estuve usando una 7D hace unos dìas y me gustó. El pedo es que no quiero re invertir en otro equipo, óptica nueva etc...

Habrà que presupuestarla en un proyecto :p

What mic were you using?
Ruben 2 years ago

Excellente trabajo. De tomas a color ningun defecto. Solo una pregunta... Por que en ingles? si veo que son latinos, o Mexicanos y fue rodado en Mexico. Digo suena muy mitico en ingles y muy buena la voz. solo por saber.
J. Xavier Velasco 2 years ago

Hola Rubén, gracias por tu comentario. Sobre la elección del idioma hay varias razones. Creo que refuerza la idea de alienación del personaje en "tierras extrañas", queríamos un actor de color con una voz característica, pero la persona que encontramos para la voz resultó ser de NY, así que decidimos hacerlo en inglés.
Ryan Alexander 1 year ago

you might have answered this question in another language:P did you use all natural lighting? and how did you pull of the hovering effect?
J. Xavier Velasco 1 year ago

We shot the city parts using source lighting. Sometimes we filled some areas with a sungun or a cheap led flashlinght. In the woods we used natural lighting and a 2K tungsten for the climax.
The last shot is a composite :p and the feet hoevering is just the actor lifting himself. We shot this for almost no money, so we tried to keep it simple!

Your video is amazing
felipe perez-burchard 1 year ago

mostly 50mm, also 100mm and a 24-105 (t/4), we had a 135mm and a 300mm but those shots were cut out due to a readjustment in the narrative. The 28mm use is sparse.

(its actually harder to focus on the wide lenses without some kind of z-finder; hoping to buy one soon)

Thanks 4 d nice comments!

The last shot is a composite. We shot him on an apple box and then a plate and the feet hoevering is just the actor lifting himself.

That last shot is very interesting, but I still don't understand your explanation for how you got it done:(

J,

For some reason I was torn between really liking the film and not being sure. I felt this way through out the entire piece, but in the end you definitely convinced me that I do indeed like the whole thing from beginning to end. Very well done, my man.

Muy buen trabajo. Enhorabuena.
Matthew Merola 1 year ago

The narration and the ending were fantastic. But the shots of him walking around felt a bit generic-though they were beautiful! [which I can't say enough] I just think that generic shots no matter how pretty don't make up for visual storytelling.
I did enjoy this and overall I think its a good video but wished that his journey in the beginning was even a tiny bit more comprehensible.
Anyway, those are just my thoughts.
