      Despite unexperience,  countless problems, difficulties of every kind, errors and mistakes, today we wrapped up the principal photography of our short movie! I know It won’t be a masterpiece and a simply acceptable result Is my goal, yet i wanted to celebrate here too since Roger, David and you all have had, with your example and advices, a huge role in pushing me forward when everybody was telling me to give up!

          After countless nights  on DaVinci Resolve i hope to have found the right look for the short. I know how i want the scene to look like, but translating that in DVR is a completely different matter. The Team Deakins episode with James Slattery perfectly described my problem (“ok, i know i need a bit more of blue here, but how much exactly?”) .

          So, this said, here they are a couple of frames from my short. We worked with no budget, no real lights (Just Natural light and some led bulb for night scenes) and just my Sony A6400 with kit lens. Add to this the fact that it’s an horror short movie (and it’s really easy to fall in the trash style with that genre) …and the disaster is served!  Please believe me, i rarely felt as ashamed as in this moment, but i need to start from somewhere. 🙂

            Congratulations! I’m sure it’s no easy feat completing your short film! Looking forward to it!

            I imagine post-production begins?

              Thanks a lot, you are very kind!

              To be honest I actually hope that post production will finish, i’ve been stuck with it for months and i can’t get out of the it, ah ah! Jokes apart, i’m doing everything alone and it’s a bit complicated to follow an entire production (even a micro one, like mine) alone. But i’m having fun, i’m learning a lot about everything (editing, color correction, vfx, sound mixing, etc etc) and that’s fine.

              Let’s hope that the result won’t be a complete disaster, ah ah! 🙂
