Okay, since some of you liked my short film "Hello!?" that I posted a while back I figured I'd show you another film of mine. This one is just for those who are really interested though, because it definitely requires an effort on your part to view it. You have to:

1. Click http://www.yousendit.com/...95TA%3D%3D and download the zip file.

2. Unzip it.

3. Print out the text file, which contains English subtitles that are crucial for understanding the film, since it's in Swedish.

4. Try to watch the film and read the subtitles simultaneously.



Sorry that it had to be like this, but I've googled for hours for free, well-functioning subtitling software (feel free to tell me if you know of any!) without success. At least the film is only 5 minutes long, so hopefully it won't be too much of a torture to try to match the text with the visuals.

As for the actual film, I wrote the screenplay myself but I shot and directed it with three other people, so the quality and choice of angles and such vary throughout. It was shot on 16mm which is bloody expensive, so we could only afford an average of two takes per shot. Needless to say, we ended up with some continuity problems and dodgy shots here and there, so cut us some slack.

Do post comments though, it would be nice to hear what those of you that made the effort to watch it properly thought of it.

Thanks boo.

I'll have to look at it when I get home.








Do you have any pictures of you posted somewhere on the Internet?

I'm on a piece of crap computer at home at the moment, but if I get a chance over the next day or two I will try to watch at work.

Thanks Carrie and Asianboo. I knew I could count on you.

ok, my pendelum just swung to the happy side. (yeah, there's some deliberate metaphors going on there)

ZombieKitten said:

Thanks! I'll try them when I get a chance. I'm not too hopeful though, since every single one I've tried so far have been either a limited trial version or completely useless. The days of excellent shareware seem to over.

retina said:

I know, but I am still confident you will find one

OK, which role are you playing?!

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I'm not in it.

I never said I was.

retina said:

So much for "representin"

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I have no idea what you're talking about.

retina said:

I figured at least one of those roles were perfect for you. My mistake

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Just watch the film or get off the thread.

retina said:

tsk tsk. I'll try and watch it but those are hoops of fire you're askin for there

very well done, very moving. i'm hoping they work it out and live happily ever after.


i didn't see your other film. can you post a link?

SexOnWheels said:

Someone watched it! And liked it!

Thank you very much for taking the time to go through all that trouble. I'm really glad you found it to be worthwhile.

ZombieKitten said:

Damn, you're fast! Thank you.

(That's the link for the other film, SexOnWheels)

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

was it your intent to be condescending?

retina said:

that was a good film too. troll & princess was the better story imo. i got emotionally involved in the film, considering it was a father telling his daughter that their family was falling apart.

SexOnWheels said:

it made me cry - I didn't see it coming and wasn't quite prepared for it to be so uncompromising. It hit me hard.

oops

SexOnWheels said:

That's okay, and I agree with you that the Troll and the Princess is better. "Hello!?" is more lighthearted and straightforward and I didn't put as much effort into it. I think the lead actress in the latter did a great job though.

Great job on both of them.

OK Retina, I'm sorry for being such a witch earlier. Sometimes I just can't help myself

very sad tho

Thanks! What did you like about them? Which one did you like best?
