Was the fire scene safely conducted or did you just strap flash paper to your back and jump Smile

Yep... Smile But that isn't me you see in the film, I am just behind the camera. I do all the card moves though.

Yep to what:> The flash paper or the safety aspect. How did the guy who did it then do it? You got some friends who are stuntmen I take it?:)


By the way, if you need any help getting the video up PM me.

All the best,

Study the moves on this film Smile Eventually you'll get them down, after some practice.

Well of course this video had impressive production values. However, the story -- inasmuch as it had as story -- was entirely derivative and filled (to the brim, one might say)) with cliches. I did think the parallel structure that reasserted itself near the end was well-done, but this moment was unfortunately overshadowed by a Top Gun-like, angsty homosexual undercurrent between the two leads. Although it's to be expected, this home-made genre flick was too self-indulgent for my tastes.

Wow, great work on this. Are you studying film? The shots, the framing, and the cuts (the already mentioned parallel structure, the 'matrix' motion + speedup, especially, were good) were very good.

If there is something I would suggest, it is getting a lighting kit, or learning how to twiddle w/ the white balance on your canon. The indoor shots all were a bit too warm, in my opinion (even if you were intentionally going for that)...also, the outdoor shots looked a tad overexposed.

You've certainly got an eye for composition! Great work!
(btw, on the second or third to last shot, you can see your/the cameraman's shadow - but I'm guessing you need the wide angle rather than the long focal length to get the running-into-frame look, so probably nothing you could do about it...)
