My 24 Hour Film

Note: I just noticed that something funny is going on with the frame size here - it's getting cut off.. If you want to see the full frame, watch it here.

This is pretty lousy, especially compared to many other films in the competition, but then...

Nevertheless, my cast and crew of more-or-less first-timers made a heroic effort.

You should know that I suffered a severe hardware failure shortly after the festival, so I lost some of the content from the original. I was able to recover it, however I tweaked a few things to include in a demo video to a prospective client. This is the new version, but it's almost exactly the same as the old, just with lower thirds added and the (nasty) keying improved very slightly (barely perceptibly at this size, really). I also had to redo one of the (terrible) effects shots. Other than that, it's identical frame for frame. Can you tell I'm nervous about posting this?




Hi, now that you all know what I look and sound like in "real" life. Nice to meet you. Needless to say, we didn't win anything. I'd love your feedback, though.

Did you play Adam Figueira?

Adam K. K. Figueira said...

Yes. We left out the K's to fictionalize it a bit. Made things more believable.

Theric,

I just noticed that the frame is getting cut off here. Since I don't have administrative rights on this site, you can see the full-frame version here

It actually wasn't cut off on my monitor.

Oh. Must just be me. One of those wacky internet-is-for-everyone-but-its-also-different-for-everyone things.

Thanks for the heads up.

BTW, for anyone who's wondering if I'm ever going to review the other films and presentations, yes, but I'm in the middle of a really busy stretch at work and school. I hope to get to a few of them by next week.
