Great landscapes, where did you shoot it?
jared hogan 1 year ago

hey ben! we shot in stanley, nm and a variety of other locations, mostly right off the highway, in new mexico.

Taylor Doyle Gillespie 1 year ago

oh man, I've been wanting to see this. amazing cinematography. a great portrayal of the abruptness of life on the frontier. new mexico is so beautiful. where in NM did you shoot it? I had no idea Houston did sound on this!

colin levy did the opening vfx scene didn't he? I've seen that dust storm before...
jared hogan 1 year ago

colin was a huge contributor and helped to bring my vision to the screen but matthew radford, a super talented craftsmen, was actually the vfx artist.
Kennon Fleisher 1 year ago

Shot on a DSLR or RED? This is absolutely incredible, beautiful cinematography. Great job on the editing too, all around you're a talented filmmaker
jared hogan 1 year ago

this was shot on a sony ex1. thanks for your kind words.
Kennon Fleisher 1 year ago

EX1 is a great camera, it looks very good. Your location is beautiful, at least in it's own respect. I'm used to living up in the mountains / valley areas here in Central PA, so it's really interesting to watch films shot in a different geographical region
Christopher Kingsley 1 year ago

Nice cinematography. Did you shoot with anamorphic lenses or just crop?
Priscilla Bertucci 1 year ago

very good! It was in NM right?
Stijn te Hennepe 1 year ago

beautiful shots and nice film. like it a lot
Robert Baxter 1 year ago

I would have guessed Utah, but New Mexico doesn't surprise me. You could have filmed that in Utah and no one would know the difference.

Beautifully conceived and executed. Made me think of Cormac McCarthy, in his Tex/Mex novels. The harsh and beautiful envrionment/reality. congrats.
Bernard BAILLY 1 year ago

Awesome,this is extremely beautiful. I give you four stars for your color choice. Bravo !
Matt Radford 1 year ago

Hey Jared ! Thanks for finding me !!!

Was really fun working with Colin on that Dust Storm. Funny though, I never got to see the movie untill just now.
Looks great man, Congrats !
Chad 1 year ago

matt, did you do the particle manipulation on the dust cloud? looks really good. maya I take it?
Matt Radford 1 year ago

indeed. no particles though. Maya has a cool way of doing volumetrics through its fluid system.

it can be used basically like afterburn.
Chad 1 year ago

ah, that's pretty interesting...
ChrisMoody 1 year ago

Wow! Nice movie, but these photos are blowing my mind even more!
Vahkil 1 year ago

I really enjoyed watching this. I second Fred Reade's comment about the comparison to Cormac McCarthy
raj muneshwar 1 year ago

Brilliant. Makes you really think about isolation and being human. All those long, lingering shots were very effective.
Jeffrey Butler 1 year ago

Well executed. Powerful.
Frank Joel Tammariello 1 year ago

Brilliant. Reminds me of the mystery and austerity of Jarmusch's Dead Man. congratulations.

Wow i had to pick my jaw up off the ground after watching this! The landscape shots were breathtaking!
ANGELO SANDE 1 year ago

Unusual, powerful, fabulous landscapes. A really BIG short movie. Would like someday sign something like this, with this strenght.
Bright Elephant Films 1 year ago

The post-work is astonishing!! It was like looking at a painting... that moved.

Great work guys! Can you give me any insight as to who the second guy was? Did he kill for fun? Was he stalking the first guy the whole time?
Owen Andrade 1 year ago

I know this question has probably been answered already, but what did you use to shoot this?
jared hogan 1 year ago

hey owen,
no worries. we shot on a sony ex1.
Owen Andrade 1 year ago

very nice! very nice, indeed. that establishing shot is overwhelming (in the good way).

Can you make this available for download?

The tension that you built with your use of the slow dolly was amazing! Nice work man.
Ryan Adams 1 year ago

Masterful.
Jan-Philipp Rekeszus 1 year ago

fantastic footage, but reminds me too much of "cast away"
JeanLaurent 1 year ago

Inspiring photography and audio, a fine tuned piece. I even noticed the wool pants the first man is wearing, very sharp. Please let me know where you found them!
Adam Porter 1 year ago

every time i watch this i'm just as impressed
Lanka Haouche Perren 1 year ago

Beautifully shot! I really like the "post-apocalyptic" feel about it! good work...
William J. Meyer 1 year ago

I dig it. Terrific visual storytelling. You're a director to watch.
David Esp 1 year ago

Loved the "guilt" elements as the first guy took the shoes {& estab., slowdolly, "happenstance" (not) framing), "slow = large-scale" for the storm}. Enjoyed & learnt lots.

Fantastic short, you really have got a great feel for mood and pace man. Well done.
Phillip Fuqua 1 year ago

This is the kind of stuff I like to see, and hopefully one day make.
Paxson Woelber 1 year ago

So, link-dropping is kind of obnoxious but this is really similar to an animation I released a few months back, called "The Prospector." Same type of eerie, bleak landscapes, two main characters, no dialogue. It's interesting how we found similar moods and themes in two very different landscapes ("The Prospector" is set in Alaska.)

Jared, I went to SCAD my freshman year of college and was good friends with Chris Horne from RUF. Man, this video is it. Perfect execution and ominous pacing. This is by far my favorite piece I have scene from the vimeo community to date. Thank you for sharing it.
Burke Communications 1 year ago

Reminds me a little of "There Will Be Blood." Great job. The shots, editing, color correction, it all works.
Joe Antony 1 year ago

This is superb. The picture & sound fit so well to the atmosphere. Very inspiring work.

Hot film mate! Got a taste of No Country For Old Men in the scenery, soundscape and no dialogue.
Really well crafted to get you intrigued as to what's happening, specially the campfire scene... Love it man!
