Good job, Breanne! I love alternate reality stuff. My Nicholl's entry was conceived as alt reality.
I might have to go back and watch again, but I didn't figure out the ring part. How did dropping it trigger the dimensional switch? Or was it just something about the location, like in Stephen King's new novel, and the ring just happened to fall in the right spot.
Pale Yellow, Kevin, thanks! That’s very kind of you to say. I appreciate it.
Kevin, the ring is just another slight variation between the two realities that serves as a marker. Selena One lost her ring, but Selena Two didn’t. That’s why Selena One has her ring back and Selena Two is missing hers when they switch back. At the end, in Selena One’s realm, her ring is still on the floor at the restaurant, while in Selena Two’s realm, it’s gone because she never lost it. Hope that makes sense.
Some Easter eggs:
The symbol on the sign at the psychiatric clinic is a tesseract, the scientific symbol for the fourth dimension.
Henry Pratt (the name of the psychiatric clinic) is Boris Karloff’s real name.
I tried to create a puzzle, something people would have to watch more than once to really put together. Of course, that was before I realized how many errors show up with repeat viewings.
Nice work, Breanne! Always love to see SSers picking up the camera. I see George did the music too.
I didn't catch that Selena one had a different voice until I read it in the credits. Good syncing on your part. What did you shoot this with? Entering any festivals??
James, I can’t take credit for the syncing, that was the post house people. It’s also in surround sound and will sound much better in a theater.
The film was shot with two JVC GY-HD250U cameras I borrowed from our TV station. They’re usually used to shoot local events.
I’ve already entered several festivals, but it’s too early to know if we’ve been accepted. We have to meet various technical requirements for some of them, but there are more to come.
P.S. I thought George did a terrific job. I much prefer original music to canned stuff.
Alffy, I baffled myself with it a few times putting it all together.
That was awesome Breanne, it reminded me of one of my guiltiest pleasures, quantum leap. Really good shots when the detective and the doctor were walking through the passage. And the mirror at the end! Wow how did you do that! Good job across the board.
