tom quinn Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Hey Folks, a few stills from a second short. I shot it for a friend last Spring, but we just wrapped up the sound mix. Feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Tom http://www.dioramamovie.com/gallery/index.html (these may be a tad dark on a pc monitor) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Cooper Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Nice work. Strong bold compositions, moody lighting and lots of creativity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaan Shenberger Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 the frame with the polar bear is a great image. based off those stills, your exposures seem to be perfect for shooting for a color grade... which is a compliment. but i feel like now it really really needs a color grade-- even if it's just a matter of pulling the shoulder up a little in luminance... it would look really great. but regardless, the stuff looks really good.

tom quinn Posted April 15, 2007 Author Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi All, Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm pretty excited about the film and am leaving the 24th to screen it at a student film festival in Germany, which should be a blast. Jaan, thanks for the feedback! I'm not familiar with the grading process. Should I be bringing up my blacks a bit? I should also mention that since i grabbed these on a Mac for some folks they will come out a tad dark on PC's. Take care, everyone. Tom oops, i had mentioned the pc gamma issue already. sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make a much richer image without really changing the impression of relative lightness or darkness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premium Member Bill Totolo Posted April 16, 2007 Premium Member Share Posted April 16, 2007 I'm viewing this on a mac linked to a Dell Ultrasharp monitor, black level looked like they hovered around 7.5 IRE to me, reminded me of "Zodiac", so I think, though they weren't zero black, they looked great. Make sense? Plus I love the mixed color temps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom quinn Posted April 18, 2007 Author Share Posted April 18, 2007 hey guys - thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it. I agree about the whites. I tend to underexpose just a bit on the dvx because I'm always fighting them, and wish I could bring them up cleanly in post to punch up the contrast, but get too much noise. thanks! tom www.stationhousefilms.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
