Cutting the Past! (Old Micro Short Film)

Hi Everyone!

I shot a micro film a few years back for an Instagram contest, and as I was cutting Goodbye! this week I realized I should look back at that old film. 

That's exactly what I did!

The film is called TIME. and it was shot as a no budget micro (under a minute) film. And when I say no budget, I mean not one penny was spent filming this project. The old me wouldn't want to show this project, but I feel it was a good learning experience and I know today I am a much better filmmaker overall. 

So I re-edited the project and here it is!

Behind the Scenes facts :

1. Shot in a few hours. (Had to battle the sunsetting.)

2. Only one actor is an actual actor (Fedor Steer). (He did a great job!)

3. We shot with natural light and a reflector. (Great catch light on Anna's eyes)

4. Shot with a Canon 5D Mark iii. 

5. Script was written in a few hours. (I decided to participant in the contest late, giving me days to have a completed film.)

If you get anything from this post, I hope it's this : Grab your camera and go make a film. Practice makes you a better filmmaker!
