The Monday before spring break, I shot this short one minute film for my editing class.

Who knew one minute of film would be 15 minutes of raw footage?! It took me 3 hours to whittle this down, but I like what I made.

Since the on-board mic picked up everything (We had to shoot on campus.), I decided to make it a silent film, in the style of DW Griffith.

Hey Austin,

Thought this was pretty good for a first attempt.  The one thing I would change is the settings on the filter you used to make it look like an old movie.  There was far too much noise to clearly see what was happening and I had to watch it more than once to get it.

Abs,

That title is almost as pretentious as one a mine. Hmmm.

Are you European? Or French? Even silent films aren't silent. Like old men.

Some good stuff in there. And some other stuff. Either way your at it. And that deserves credit. So you have some now.

Thanks guys.

I did the aged film and black and white on iMovie. On my computer, it looked and sounded fine. When we watched it today on the big screen, the aged film was so distracting.

And this was an editing exercise, not a movie making exercise, and I think I did pretty good.
