Ohene nailed the ending; I felt that lol

13434656, thank you!! Posted by Damali, Mon Jun-07-21 04:42 PM
> > >Ohene nailed the ending; I felt that lol
that was the part i had to 'direct' him...we did it a few different times where he made a shocked face
then i was like nah man...SOMEBODY HAD YOUR KEY! you lose your knees, man...like imagine
then he nailed it.
although, if i'd thought ahead to have knee pads, i would have had him drop quicker
i learned that directing the camera shots and directing the actor are two completely different skill sets..this was so fucking fun

13434658, Black and White, Jazz, Silent and Atmospheric. Posted by allStah, Mon Jun-07-21 04:43 PM
Those elements make for a great independent, creative film.
It’s a very intriguing short film, that allows for many different interpretations.
Good job.

13434721, Props, short simple and kept me intriugied Posted by Adwhizz, Tue Jun-08-21 07:40 AM
the lead actor is really good at conveying emotion without saying anything
|
13434981, yeah he made this so easy..he requires very little direction Posted by Damali, Thu Jun-10-21 10:37 AM
the Vaseline thing was all him...i was like YES!!!
put that lil bit of 'blackness' in it...
he's also a stand up comedian, rapper, indie musician, event producer (Smokes N Jokes)...just an all around entertaining, hustling dude

13434982, word..its a particular paranoia of mine..getting locked out Posted by Damali, Thu Jun-10-21 10:39 AM
like i'm literally looking at my keys in my hand several times before closing the door...just in case LOL
when both my sons moved out, i buried a key outside in the ground near my front door, just in case...

13434769, 60 frames per second? Posted by shockvalue, Tue Jun-08-21 12:31 PM
Interesting choice, that always makes things look nontraditional and somewhat hypperreal.
Nice work.

13434983, my son said that's the default setting he uses Posted by Damali, Thu Jun-10-21 10:39 AM

Such a simple yet unique story. I applaud the decision to remove any sort of nat sounds. The music provided all of the audio we needed. Well done.

13434984, Twin!!! I'm so glad you saw it Posted by Damali, Thu Jun-10-21 10:41 AM
>Such a simple yet unique story. >I applaud the decision to remove any sort of nat sounds.
since my son was editing (and had ever edited a narrative before) i was just trying to do everything to make it as easy as possible for him...
>The music provided all of the audio we needed. >Well done.
This means so much coming from you..thanks
I really want to work with you one day!!!
