Crystal Clear (I did not make this)


Crystal Clear

I wish I could embed this, but just click on it.

This was a movie I forced myself on shortly before production for the Lansing 48 Hour Film Festival.

It was fun to see how a different group of people works together on this stuff.  I wish I could expand my group of people I normally work with so I wouldn't have to own every part of the production.

Anyways.....

Script:
I'm not use to reading a script that's actually formatted.  It was confusing, and shocking how little dialogue there was.  I didn't like my part, so I decided early in to make it as creepy as possible.  Most of which was cut, probably for good reason.

3 people viewing a house, me and another group... not sure if I buy it but it moves quick enough that it's sufficient for 5 minutes.

Sound and Video:
What a difference actual training and a crew can make.  Aside from a few really dark shots I think it looks and sounds great.  The neighbors were mowing the lawn for a good part of this and there was a hum through out the house, most of which was inaudible.

Overall:
I wanted to write this up because it was a fun experience and I think it came together really well.  It won second place, I think they are mad that it didn't get first place.  It's a winner either way.  But now I'm out of things to say about it.  It feels kind of impersonal... but I wasn't around for writing or editing so maybe there is a hidden meaning over being a homage to Arrested Development.

A++++ would work with again.
