One question though, I noticed considerable jitter at the beginning, is that one of the cons of filming with a HD DSLR or something else? I'm very interested in these cameras because of all the amazing footage I've seen shot on them
You are a revolutionary man!
The quality of the tools available today just blows my mind.. What a beautiful and fantastic collaboration.. I'm definitely adding a piece that will take place on Maui when the time is right.. So cool.. This trend will turn into the next wave of digital filmmakers I'm certain..
Love and Aloha, iamKP-
I'm interested to see how all the different contestants will re-create that last shot - it's such a specific location -
time to get creative...
Thanks for replying
here is the link: vimeo.com/31632891
Hope you can check it.
I thought the slow pan around the cab at the beginning was a little too long for me.
But good story telling! Great Job.
Next time, please make this a world wide contest!!
Yup yup, back in St. Pete right now. I start teaching Monday while working at the Times as well. Busy busy, but hey you know how that goes :)
Sharpness set as low as possible - sat too - contrast down two notches - in "Neutral" picture style that I convert into user defined 1
Was that self made too?
Thanks for the memories!
Now that Cabbie is wrapped, let's collaborate on a new Dean of Sean. I'll cover lunch.
It seems like you didn't have to make a big commotion for filming at the airport due to the size of the camera lol.
A big amen to that. Good job and I can't wait to see where this goes, i'm watching this one like a hawk.
If I may make a suggestion a camera stab pass wouldn't hurt the opening shot or was that a little left over rolling shutter?
But it is ok, I have my idea and can manage to have an US address... Thx for the inspiration!
it seems like when this comp is over and you watch the whole film back its gonna be one boring predictive film !
I love the stuff you are doing because you are pushing the envelope .. so far the winners have been people in the industry that seem to churn out this same ol tv stuff that you can watch on any channel ..
excuse my honesty, but i am english .. lol
You may say, why dont I enter if i think I can do better .. but I'm in england so not allowed ..even if i followed your advice and got a friend to enter me, im sure theyd spot the english landscape and stuff ..
I just thought it was time that you stepped in with the judges and took this some where different ala Laforet style :-) .. I have a 5d and started winning competitions with it :-) .. im still a learner, but so was every great DP at one time :-) .. id really like to know what you think about the way the film is going .. thanks.. Anthony.
And once again AMAZING! Becoming a great fan of your work Mr. Laforet.

Thanks SO much for your response. I'm sorry you're frustrated with the shot - I totally understand. Now, to make myself clear, I don't HATE the first shot. Aesthetically it's pleasing - the steadicam work is nicely done. BuMmEr about the setup/balance, but not surprising given the amount of time you had to shoot the project. I certainly don't think people will expect a technically PERFECT film for something like this, especially given production time :)
I just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't pointing out the technical "crappiness" of the steadicam shot to put down the operator or you - the main reason I asked was because I had a couple of people ask me if I thought the "bouncing" was in some way related to rolling shutter on the 7D or something. Having done the Steadicam workshop up here in Sonoma with Charles, and understanding more about Steadicam work now, I couldn't imagine the bounciness being related to the rolling shutter - just didn't make sense. So in a way I'm pleased to be able to tell people it wasn't that, because I really do believe in these canon HD DSLRs. Can't WAIT for my 1D Mark IV to show up!
Anyway, thanks again, and keep it real bro! You're a huge inspiration to me (and to all of us!)

but that was the only thing , and its not a biggie ... i love the above shots etc and pannng ..
im gonna give this comp a go and come from a totally different angle .. hopefully it will fit and continue the perfectness of this opening movie :-)

I've already started shooting a short myself with the 7D and am blown away by the capabilities of this camera.
P.S. I was just kind of bothered that a dad would give his daughter a dirty toy from the street. :)
I agree with Reev about giving an abandoned toy to a kid without prior clean is something questionable, anyway, cleaning the toy don't fit the "short" movie plot. :-D
