i request you guys take a look at a lil' short film that me and my production team did for a nation wide college short film competition. my homeboy wrote it and we directed it together. i edited ( i just got this crazy idea that any slow song could work with it, slow motion is SOOOOO COOL!) I Created a youtube page where i will up load this movie numerous times with different songs on it.( hopefully that will be a cool lil marketing tool)

If you have any idea what other songs might fit the mood of the movie let me know.

It's called "Dejection"
Let me know what you think:




* its quite a sad little film.

what does the title of this thread have to do with the video?

what- are you not used to misleading titles on the org by now?

Wow. It's beautifully tragic. It makes me want to ask so many questions.

Loved it!!!!

thanks! we was worried about it being too "artsy" but i guess it kinda worked out somehow. to be honest with you, up until the day of shooting i just could NOT get into the script- AT ALL. but it did exactly what it was suppose to do
now its my favorite project we've ever done.

This is a sad little diddy of a song: http://www.youtube.com/wa...hcNnTFbc_o


But if you really the audience to cry play the Vikings fight song.

ahhh thanks!

that's devastating

I knew already what had happened from the balloons on the table.

ZombieKitten said:

thats funny. cause we had a lil blow up on set over the balloons on the table. we were worried if it will be too much. if it will give too much away. how many balloons we'd use. what position should they be in. what color, blah blah blah. the joys of film making

Nvncible1 said:

first he touches her stomach and she pushes him away
combined with the balloons
tells you what's happening

I felt the ultrasounds were confirmation - and maybe the clue for folks who missed the balloons

and that letter making sure they get their business NEXT time, was a punch in the stomach

ZombieKitten said:

ohhhhh it really came off like thaaaaat? wow ...maybe we should have panned over the entire letter.

and you know something else?

it was my idea at the end of the shoot to include some shots of " them in love" because i feel we need to show the audience that there was love there. i wasnt sure if it translated with the other shots standing alone , you know?

Nvncible1 said:

to me yeah, but then I'm a mother - I read "I'm sorry for your loss" then saw "next pregnancy blah blah make sure you book in with us!"

no I don't think it was obvious there was love there the guy came across as not being as affected as she was, but we all grieve in different ways I guess.
