Titus, an award winning short film

I've been meaning to do a write up on our 48 hour film festival entry for a while now... I'm really not the man to do it, but I'm the only one with a blog so here goes:



Titus.

This music came from a public domain angel that I found about an hour before the movie was due. I really wish J would give me a version of the final product without a sound mix so I could clean it up and insert some proper transitions, but I don't think it will be happening. Also the wind was the worst... Really annoying.

We were assigned the theme of historical epic; which is definitely out of our wheelhouse, but I think that helped us differentiate ourselves and keep this thing from turning into date able 2. The idea for this was all Fill and I had no idea about it until we looked into it for the movie. I did write most of the script quietly while the rest dealt with medical issues and going on tangents. Thankfully we didn't stick super close to it in the actual shoot, and got even further away from it in our editing.

I am glad J edited this and he did a fantastic job considering he didn't know how to use the software and rushed it. My one contribution was telling him repeatedly to cut up the court stuff and split it up through the movie. It looked cool but we didn't have a scene, we had 5 halves of different scenes; splitting it up covered it well. Although my suggestion was to split it up through out the whole movie, just just the Bronson stuff.

I thought the acting was fine; I pushed a little too hard to play the title character because I knew Bro was going to play himself and dominate the whole thing no matter what he did, he made the movie interesting while I think I kept it coherent. I was very pleased on how everyone else handled there part, although I wish there would have been more for J to do.

That's all I got. Good show and the first award I've ever received for this sort of thing.
