Topic: "Terminal"

So, me 'n the peeps made a short this past weekend. Crew consisted pretty much all of DIF folks, script banged out by Miki Friday night, we shot Saturday, edited Sunday. Finally got off my ass and put it up tonight. I honestly don't know how YouTube-at-large will react, but I bet you guys here will get a kick out of it. Enjoy!

I enjoyed that. The whole thing was pretty good, but the last ten seconds or so were perfect.

Haha, that was brilliant. The last lines cracked me up. Jake's stare was perfect.

Re: "Terminal"

Very funny. Has a solid Funny or Die / College Humor kind of feel. I think you should have set up the toe-stubbing right at the beginning with a little limping or something.

The technical aspects are beautiful. The lighting in that opening shot at the door must have been really tricky.

Warning: I'm probably rewriting this post as you read it.

Yeah, we spent ages on that shot.

If by ages you mean seconds it was about 45 ages.

You're totally right. We hadn't planned that shot but we altered the script, discarding the original opening, and needed that for an intro. Didn't even think about how he should be limping. You'd think someone there would have, but goes to show. When you're in a rush (and we only had a couple minutes to get the shot -- Katie, the redhead, had to leave), should-be-obvious stuff slips through the cracks.

I think Teague is confusing the door shot with the master of the couch. We spent a lot of time on the master but the door we only had time to blast light on them from inside and flag the sun while they were outside. Turned out nice though.

I waiting for a "He died three weeks later" titlecard at the end. Great shit though.

What did you use to capture the audio? It sounds perfectly crisp and clear.

I think it was an AT-897 on a boom. Mixed through the DIF board, actually. tongue

Nicely done! I love the dry delivery style; really helps deliver the friend-to-friend tone. This almost feels like a commercial for something (toe cream?) which you should totally collect on if you get a chance. Good stuff.
