Hey guys,

I've uploaded a preview from my short film A Tale From the Gun Barrel. The full film goes for about 12 minutes wich delves more into the story and characters.
It was made with a two man crew for about $2000. Obviously everyone involved donated there time for free, otherwise it would have cost a lot more.

Hope you can check it out and leave your comments.

Cheers.

DL,

Had a look - it's well done, very slick and professional.
I'm looking forward to the full thing. Congrats!

Oh man I watched this and got widescreen envy.

I've been dabbling with a bit of filmmkaing using my cheap JVC camcorder and all it's got is 16:9 ration.

What camera do you have that has that glorious wide widescreen?

Nice camera work!!!!!

Looks great!

Cheers guys.

Tonka- the glorious widescreen is actually fake. haha
I shot it on a Sony Z1 and just cropped it using black bars in post production. It works well enough, as long as you put tape over your LCD screen when your shooting so you know what your final image will look like. I use the same method for most of the stuff I shoot and it looks great.

I think it looks really good. Looks clean. Crisp. Great job there. Good acting. Especially the main guy. Good lead.

To me, it was reminiscent of “Kill Bill” and the first scene from “Desperado.” Sometimes I think there was a little too much dialogue. Some dialogue was a little iffy. Do baddies really call joints “seedy”? None of it held up the action, though. It moved along well.

The villains, the Zinetti brothers, were waaaay too similar to the gang from “A Clockwork Orange.” (One even has a cane!)

Overall though, you did a great job. Looks good. Some great shots. Great job. Assuming the music is original, it’s really good too. Also, the “widescreen” looks great too -- haha.
