We All Fall Down - (a not-so-) Short film shot entirely with my D800!

[Markw]

Hey everyone! To start off, I'd like to just warn everyone that this isn't a "short" form, in internet terms. It's 20 minutes long. So, if you're going to stick it out, you might want to make yourself comfortable. Be sure to watch it in 1080p, full screen, with the speakers up. It's NOT intended for mobile device playback. So, I don't know how the sound will come out on that. It doesn't come out great on my laptop either. So, you may be best using earbuds or a real set of speakers on a desktop if you have one. Anywho, here it is:



It was shot entirely with a combination of the following gear:

Nikon D800
Nikon 17-35mm F/2.8D ED
Sigma 24-70mm F/2.8 EX DG HSM APO II
Nikon 50mm F/1.8D
Sigma 85mm F/1.4 EX
Sigma 180mm F/3.5 EX DG HSM APO IF Macro
Nikon 300mm F/4.0 AF-S (only one shot, admittedly)

Peripherals:
Zoom H1
Manfrotto 055xb
Manfrotto 501HDV
Cinemover camera dolly + 4x4x8 wood beam
3000w Cowboy Studio CFL lighting kit

Anywho, please let me know what you think, honestly!

The beginning is pretty unnerving. I think it kind of drags in the middle in terms of cinematic quality, but overall, good stuff.

The narration was very good, it drove the story along. I liked the nice clean edits and camera angles. I thought you did a wonderful job overall. The only suggestions I have is to shorten the intro with the dolls and the scene that starts at 2:27 seems a little bright. Maybe color grade to give some edginess to that scene. I am not an expert by any means. But I did enjoy your short film. On Vimeo there are over 800 groups dedicated to short films. Upload your film there. Looking forward to more of your work.
